Three year strategy launched to improve working conditions
Manx Care says it's confident it's doing enough to change the organisation's culture.
The Island's health and social care provider has published a People, Culture and Engagement Strategy for the next three years to try and improve working conditions.
The aims include:
- To be an organisation where colleagues feel valued, respected and empowered, and which promotes compassionate, visible, distributed and clinically led leadership.
- To build and develop the approach to equality, diversity and inclusion.
- To build and develop plans around recruitment and retention to ensure Manx Care attracts the best talent and retains a skilled and dedicated workforce.
- To build and develop workforce plans and associated skills development plans to ensure the workforce has, and continues to develop, the skills to continuously improve and transform services and to provide the highest quality of care to patients, service users and their families.
- Enhance the health and wellbeing of colleagues through a range of plans focused around improving emotional and physical wellbeing.
The strategy comes in a year that's seen nurses strike twice over pay and working conditions, as well as doctors working at the hospital revealing a culture of poor senior leadership and lack of resources.
Chief Executive Teresa Cope has been telling Manx Radio's Lewis Foster more:
