: NURS 6053 Week 7 Discussion Workplace Environment Assessment

I agreed with your post Sunday, Incivility among healthcare workers can thus lead to unsafe working conditions and the safety of a patient. Care providers and organizational leaders must communicate in a way that fosters civility and empowers nurses to speak up. They must strive to create and sustain a healthy work environment where courtesy is evident. Overall, Companies should come up with a no tolerance policy for incivility in the workplace. The procedure could have a penalty resulting in every infringement, verbal caution for the initial offense, written caution for the second mistake, non-payment leave for the third one, and termination. The department of human resources should be included in the policymaking process. If incivility at the workplace is tolerated, destructive behaviors become commonplace and continue in the working environment. Each team member in a company should be educated on the right professional characters with the job code of conduct. Both staff and nurse managers must have the ability to identify it, taking it seriously, and cease the action in its ways.
