Improving workforce experience

The NHS should draw up talent management plans to reduce staff turnover, increase recruitment and improve diversity in leadership positions, as part of the NHS’s first equality improvement plan aimed to boost patient experience and support staff. Every trust will be asked to roll out measures to improve staff experience and progression through mentoring and other development opportunities for staff. The plans could also include measures such as new apprenticeship programmes and graduate management training schemes to ensure trusts are attracting the best talent within their local communities.
