Abstract
Increasing global migration necessitates a larger, more diverse, and more culturally responsive nursing workforce. If health care organizations are to foster a culture of inclusion, they must employ strategies to retain the current nursing workforce and prepare for greater diversity in the future. Nurses are leaving the profession for many reasons. Nurses report too much stress and overwork, along with not feeling valued in their roles. Nursing leadership must work to address retention of the current workforce and implement additional strategies to support long-term pipelines for more diverse nurses. Interactive workshops and mentoring focused on foundational definitions and concepts are strategies to increase retention and preparation for future recruitment. This article discusses strategies to foster a greater sense of belonging in the workplace for all nurses. This article also discusses strategies that can be useful in retaining a nursing workforce and preparing for the future nursing workforce by fostering a culture of responsiveness that encourages a sense of belonging for all nurses.
