Strategies

Expand broadband availability and adoption in unserved and underserved areas through initiatives that address infrastructure and cost barriers

Provide confidential worksite-based counseling and referrals to employees to address personal and workplace challenges

Pair new nurses with more experienced nurses who act as a resource and provide support as the new nurse establishes her or himself professionally

Implement programs that continue education, mentoring, and support for novice nurses following graduation

Engage community members to determine how public budgets are spent, ideally to improve neighborhood conditions and reduce inequality.

Support individual and group use of internet-based tools to receive news, communicate or share information, collaborate on ideas, mobilize networks, and make collective decisions

Allow employees to work outside a central office, using technology to interact with others inside and outside the organization; also called remote work, telework, or flexible working arrangements

Teach students attitudes, skills, knowledge, and behavior needed to participate in and contribute to a democracy
