Ctc-crafting the core

Healthcare is a sensitive domain and patient care lie in the hands of several people. It is often noticed that in healthcare sector, where patient care is top priority, employees do have difference of opinion among themselves and do not get involve with each other’s work and find fault with others. Nurses are held accountable as they spend maximum time with patients to deliver nursing care. Mostly beginners are prone to errors. A study found that nurses who go through successful team building efforts are more satisfied with their professional work. Hence Indraprastha Apollo Nursing Team thought of allotting houses to the entire nursing staff to increase staff engagement and develop team spirit among them. The team thought of introducing the concept of houses activity for all nurses. The entire nursing fraternity was divided into four different houses. Various activities like academics, co-curricular, general knowledge, impromptu sessions, debate and smart thinking ability were organised to judge individuals on all parameters.An overwhelming response was received from nurses. Participation in such activities resulted in higher job satisfaction and decreased turnover, better work output and increasing work efficiency.
