PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Path to Recovery: Leading Your Team with Resolve and Respect
Our recent past has focused on shortages, surges, and in many cases short-term solutions. How can we stop putting out fires, have time for reflection and mindfulness, and begin our team’s (and our own) recovery? Join us as we find a better path forward. At the 2022 NICU Leadership Forum we will:
- Collaborate on methods to reduce burnout and improve engagement
- Develop lasting strategies to retain staff
- Create a multifaceted approach to foster recovery
- Share stories of success and find renewed joy in our careers

SynovaThe Human Experience: Rebuilding Nurse Leadership for the Future of Healthcare
In a profession grounded in the idea that we are human beings caring for human beings, the pressures on our workforce both personally and professional have strained the system and pulled at its seams. With a commitment to rebuilding trust and a focus on elevating the human experience in healthcare, we will reaffirm the value of our teams and build a path forward. Engage in an interactive conversation on how we move from ideas to action in focusing ourselves and leading our teams to a stronger future.
