Summary Excerpt Details

No industry has such difficulties in finding staff as nursing. Nursing professions currently have a negative image. Many young people therefore decide against training in this field. Also, trained nurses often change jobs and look for jobs outside of the industry.

The reasons for this can often be found in management. In her publication, Jessica Jess shows how important the flow of communication and information is, as well as the appreciation of work performance. In the care sector in particular, there is usually still a lot of catching up to do.

The author therefore examines the dissatisfaction of employees in nursing homes. She filters out potential problems and develops solutions. Jess explains in a practical way how employees can be motivated without financial incentives.

From the content:
- Care;
- Job dissatisfaction;
- Demotivation;
- Motivation;
