NHS culture by strengthening staff health and wellbeing, promoting equality and diversity,
improving leadership and workplace culture and opening up opportunities for flexible
working.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England is leading work nationally to strengthen retention
across the NHS through its NHS retention programme. This includes supporting organisations
to deliver best practice interventions in areas such as staff health and wellbeing,
flexible working and menopause support in the workplace. A staff retention guide has
been updated and includes information on supporting staff at different stages in their
career with a focus on induction, reward and recognition. These initiatives apply
