Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Leadership
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Decreased staff engagement and morale were observed in a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
  • Existing incentives were ineffective, leading to burnout among top performers.
  • Generational differences in reward preferences contributed to engagement challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a Leader Toolkit aimed at enhancing multigenerational staff engagement and morale in a NICU.
  • To identify and utilize key incentives addressing work-life balance, scheduling, self-care, and work environment improvements.
  • To measure the impact of the toolkit on staff engagement, morale, and well-being.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a Leader Toolkit focused on multigenerational needs.
  • Implementation of incentives including work-life balance, improved scheduling, self-care, and environmental enhancements.
  • Pre- and post-implementation surveys (Staff Engagement and People Survey) to assess changes in engagement and well-being.

Main Results:

  • Staff engagement decreased to 78% in 2023.
  • Following toolkit implementation, staff engagement increased to 84% in 2024.
  • Staff well-being increased to 84.3% in 2024, with improved survey completion rates.
  • Increased engagement in unit and system initiatives was observed.

Conclusions:

  • The Leader Toolkit effectively addressed multigenerational engagement challenges in the NICU.
  • Incentives focused on work-life balance, scheduling, self-care, and environment significantly improved staff morale and well-being.
  • The toolkit fostered a positive culture shift, motivating nursing staff and enhancing overall unit performance.
