Skills for Care recently shared a valuable article, “How Leaders Create Workplace Cultures that Retain Social Care Staff,” which highlights the important role of leadership in creating a positive workplace culture that increases staff retention and engagement. You can read the full article here.
The article highlights the significance of creating a supportive, inclusive, and motivating workplace culture, especially within the social care sector. Leaders play a important role in setting the tone for behaviour, performance, and overall morale within their teams. By demonstrating emotional intelligence, authenticity, and openness, effective leaders build an environment of trust and respect, essential for retaining dedicated care staff.
There was a very interesting statistic in the article: “Our research into the reasons why care workers choose to leave their roles showed that 30% of people leaving a social care job cited poor workplace culture or communication as one of their primary reasons for leaving. Younger workers (18 – 44) were significantly more likely to leave due to workplace culture concerns. This highlights the importance of culture within the social care sector if we want to retain staff, particularly those within younger demographics.”
