Session Summary

Explore how a high-performing CTICU team achieves 5X Beacon Gold excellence by harnessing the unique strengths of a multigenerational workforce.

Objectives

  • Analyze how each element of the AACN Healthy Work Environment framework contributes to performance in multigenerational CTICU teams.
  • Examine leadership approaches that enhance team engagement, reduce turnover and support sustained Beacon Gold recognition.
  • Apply targeted, evidence-based strategies to improve collaboration, psychological safety and retention in high-acuity settings.
