So what
Pay is not the only lever: feeling unvalued by leaders (41%) and by the organisation (40%) matter as much as compensation (40%). With a projected 400,000-nurse shortfall by 2030, investing in nurse-manager capability is a retention strategy, not a soft benefit. McKinsey estimates the prize at $400-700 million a year in avoided turnover cost.
