Abstract
Introduction
Studies show that an effective means of nursing retention is by supporting and empowering nurses through transformational leadership. (Brewer et al.) In an effort to build and retain a strong workforce, the focus is to build our clinical supervisors into strong managers. Collaboration between leadership and clinical supervisors will create a culture focused on value and growth. The Clinical Supervisor Advisory committee will provide an environment for this focus.
Purpose
The purpose of the Clinical Supervisor Advisory Committee (CSAC) is for clinical supervisors to build and foster positive relationships with their peers, to feel supported by leadership and to develop necessary communication and management skills through transformational leadership.
Strategies
At the beginning of the year, clinical supervisors anonymously took a ten questions survey. The feedback was used to determine how they felt regarding peer relationships, leadership support, and if they felt equipped with the skills to advance into management. The responses where then used to build topics for monthly in-person meetings that were facilitated by leaders. Discussions on topics such as communications styles and building peer relationships were combined with group activities. Leaders throughout the organization work hand in hand to build trust and provide guidance as clinical supervisors learn valuable skills such as interpreting gate charts and productivity reports. After six months the clinical supervisors will anonymously take the same survey again and the two will be used for comparison.
Results
After attending the Clinical Supervisor Advisory Committee meetings and working with leaders and peers, the clinical supervisors feel relationships with peers have strengthened, they feel supported by leadership and have gained the knowledge to perform daily manager operations effectively.
Conclusion
In conclusion, clinical supervisors that are empowered and supported by peers and leaders will develop strong leadership skills that will prepare them as future managers.
