The Good Shift: Women-designed Workplaces for All to Flourish
We apply Appreciative Inquiry methods and evidence to incorporate women's voice, strengths, and experience in designing supportive working conditions. What works here, will work everywhere.
The goal is to tackle barriers facing nurses - mostly women at the bedside - who face burnout, turnover, staffing shortages, and limited growth. This harms patient care and weakens health systems. We will embed design labs in partner hospitals using evidence-based methods to elevate nurses' voice and co-create workable changes. We'll document what works in real conditions and translate it into a Nursing Flourishing Practice Standard and story-driven communications that help adoption spread beyond pilot sites.
