title: Community in the workplace: a proven retention strategy.
abstract: People yearn for a return to community, seeking a sense of connection with others. Community in the workplace is increasingly important, because many of us spend more time at work than we do anywhere else! The authors discuss community at work and the stages of formation that true communities experience. Practical helpful strategies for the nurse leader are shared.
