• Monthly coaching sessions for leaders
• Team workshops on collaboration
• Implementing feedback systems

Phase 3: Embedding (Months 9-12)

• Ongoing support and refinement
• Measuring progress and celebrating wins
• Creating sustainable practices

The Results

After 12 months:

• Staff turnover reduced from 65% to 25%
