Retention

The NHS People Plan sets out a key ambition to have more people, working differently in a compassionate and inclusive culture. Retaining NHS staff is one of the most important factors for the NHS to deliver care in the forthcoming years. As organisations navigate the ongoing impact and fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, we must focus on strengthening the supply of our highly-valued workforce, and ensure that both new and existing staff are supported and encouraged to remain in your teams.  

Leaders and line managers play a vital role in improving retention across their organisation. Ensuring we take positive action to retain our talented and skilled staff remains a key priority for individual employers and local systems.
