Abstract: Joy in Work emerges when nurses are empowered to lead meaningful change. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement's (IHI) Joy in Work Framework guides organizations to empower nurses to make small, team-led changes to restore engagement, reduce burnout, and improve quality. We used the IHI framework and focused on the cultural imperative and measurable outcomes through practical tools and leadership strategies. A statistically significant overall improvement in first-year provider turnover and Quality Metric Score s before and after the Joy in Work program implementation. Empowering nurses as everyday leaders of change fosters a resilient, thriving workforce and safer patient care.
