There is significant research with proven operational benefits to demonstrate the value of adopting a RJLC organisationally. This includes:
·Staff who feel more valued and psychologically safe to challenge inappropriate behaviour or contribute when things go wrong
·Greater staff morale and confidence in an approach that will address matters fairly and consistently
·Fewer investigations and grievances allowing colleagues to focus their energy positively elsewhere
·Less sickness and health and wellbeing issues linked to employee relation matters
·A happier and more productive workforce
·A significant positive impact on patient care and outcomes.
This approach reflects our commitment to our staff and patients that we will take every opportunity to learn and improve. It aligns with our values, is evidence-based, and aims to help us grow stronger and improve together as an organisation.
