SAMPLE SOLUTION
Organizational Culture and Values
Mission and vision statements play three critical roles: communicate the purpose of the organization to stakeholders, inform strategy development, and develop measurable goals and objectives by which to gauge the success of the organization’s strategy. Firms with clearly communicated, widely understood, and collectively shared mission and vision have been shown to perform better than those without them [Bart, et. al., 2001]. Organizational values describes the core ethics or principles which the company will abide by, no matter what. Patient safety and lower operating costs positively correlate with nurse engagement. A shared vision and missions, an emphasis on resilience, and strategic partnerships between staff and leadership to create a positive work environment are essentials for building and sustaining an engaged nursing workforce.
