Keeping Great People in the NHS

Our November 2025 newsletter explores practical retention strategies backed by what we see in Braver than Before® cohorts: 62% of participants report being more likely to stay at their organisation after completing the programme.

Inside this issue

A one-minute retention tool. Start your next huddle with "What's one small thing that could make today better?" Research shows that asking and genuinely listening builds psychological safety, even when you can't solve everything immediately.

Four evidence-backed retention levers. Recognise contribution specifically, protect wellbeing operationally, enable growth through development, and build genuine belonging.

Programme outcomes that matter. Participants are 91% more likely to speak up and 93% practising self-compassion, alongside significant retention improvements.

2026 cohort registration. All 2025 places are filled. Horizon (March), Illume (April) and Journey (May) 2026 cohorts are now open. Secure places early to plan release time with minimal disruption.

If these insights resonate with your context, share the newsletter with colleagues or get in touch to discuss how Braver than Before® could support your teams.
