Creating a favorable working environment for newly employed nurses is vital in ensuring they retain their jobs. Moreover, for hospitals to create such environments, they should implement strategies to cub the differences by ensuring job satisfaction, increased productivity, increased care quality, and increased workforce that will provide adequate off days and leaves. Additionally, scholars have indicated that fresh graduates occasionally find it challenging to adapt to new environments due to; unsupportive staffs, mandatory overtime, and the unequal ratio between teams and patients (Boamah & Laschinger, 2016). In this case, the plan propose that management should ensure that they maintain the human resource practices by providing inductions, recruitments of enough staff, and training that will ensure that graduates take less time to adapt.
Work-life balance is a significant challenge that hinders many workers from attending their home duties since they cannot balance work and leisure and have busy work schedules. Besides, this becomes a transitional period for nurses who decide on leaving their professions to create ample time for their life duties. Furthermore, personal life with work interference promotes individuals with stress; hence they become less productive. The plan proposes that creating a leave program, no mandatory overtime, and well planned off days can help the workforce reduce stress on managing their work and personal life hence increasing efficiency.
