Course Curriculum
COVID-19 has been extremely disruptive to nursing teams. Nationwide, leaders now struggle with picking up the pieces and rebuilding their teams in an environment where nurses have shorter work tenures. This workshop will focus on the best practices for restoring trust, promoting a sense of community, and building cohesive work teams. The future of quality and safe nursing care delivery will be contingent on high-performance nursing teams. Nurse leaders will be provided with actionable strategies, best practices, and tools they can use in their leadership to rebuild highly-effective teams.

Learning Objectives:
• Discuss how the COVID experience changed nursing teams and team tenure;
• Describe how the lack of a sense of belonging and community in teams contributes to high turnover;
• Identify the key elements of effective teams and how to recruit team players;
• Discuss strategies and tools, such as assessing team culture, rebuilding team trust, improving team communication, fostering team emotional intelligence, and restoring team ritual.
• Apply concepts learned to a case situation.
