"We aren't currently facing a "disengagement crisis" at work. What we're really facing is a mattering deficit".
Mattering is knowing we’re significant to our leaders & key members of our group. When we experience mattering, we flourish - we’re more motivated & persistent & experience greater well-being. But when we feel we don’t matter, we languish & either act out in desperation or withdraw. Noticing is a key component of mattering. It is the deliberate act of paying attention to the details, ebbs & flows of someone’s life and work.
Three ways leaders can become better noticers:
1) identify barriers to seeing others: the biggest barrier is being too busy to take the time.
2) deliberately make space & use time for connection.
3) ask questions & check in, in order to gather information & address the concerns of people in our teams:

Great day @NHSEnglands frailty event. Hearing successes from around the region, sparking excitement and enthusiasm. We are bringing some great ideas home, watch this space. @ICNorthants @NGHnhstrust @northampton
Some of the great initiatives trialled for Give it a Go Week #ngh. Clinician at front door streaming, patient safety nurse in ED, activity room with alternating activities. We piloted changes around P1 referrals and dedicated EMAS crew for our discharge suite @LeeTayl33450204
Getting really excited for Give it a Go Week next week. Supporting teams across #ngh to trial rapid test of change to improve patient flow and experience.
It’s still not too late to get involved. Email [email protected] with your idea. @LeeTayl33450204

#IPCimprovements 💩WT have developed a checklist sticker to prompt sampling, isolation and escalation. The icon is for behind bedspaces to highlight barrier nursing to the wider MDT for when side rooms are not available @NGH_IPC @DraperKatie @hollyslyne @Jendscott @Christamalli2
Great visit to @LandDHospital, supported by @ryanannie74. Lots of great ideas to take home and develop within @NGHnhstrust. Thank you to all the team who took the time to show us round…you are all doing a wonderful job.

Nye Bevan received 89 Friends & Family responses for May. All 89 were rated ‘good’ or ‘very good’. Nursing and medical teams were held in very high regards, as was the cleanliness of the unit. #patientcentrecare @VoodooDoctor @shancoughlan1 @lhubby1 @debshan65 @NGHnhstrust
Really productive acute medicine SMT yesterday. As a team we discussed areas for improvement and worked together to plan to overcome them. The team on Nye Bevan @NGHnhstrust are getting stronger and stronger. Looking forward to seeing what more we can achieve @VoodooDoctor
Walter Tull and Esther White are joint winners of the Jubilee Celebrations for best decorated wards. Both wards put a great deal of time and effort into helping the staff and patients celebrate this national event. @shancoughlan1 @VoodooDoctor @NGHnhstrust

It’s not just students who need words of affirmation, but colleagues, staff and admin need them as well. Connecting and building strong relationships takes the whole team. Encourage someone today.
