NURS 6053 WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT Part 1: Work Environment Assessment   

While undertaking the assessment as required by the NURS 6053 WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT instructions, there was consideration of different factors within the work environment. From the assessment, the result revealed that a barely healthy workplace. In other words, there is a score of 64 which indicates a healthy workplace. The score was based on the values directed towards the workforce, employee’s engagement, as well as the fear of unbearable workloads (Norcini, 2016).

In most cases, assessment of healthcare environment rely in different issues that affect workforce and the entire stakeholders on the organization. When it comes to the assessment of the workers, most employees feel that they are being overworked and as a result, they cannot perform the responsibilities assigned to them. Also, there is a feeling that the conditions of work are unsafe due to the difficulties found in the work processes.

The basis of the assessment was based on the necessary conditions required to ensure that there is an integrated environment where success can be realized. From the assessment, there are different conclusions that can be made. There are both weaknesses and strengths within the organization. Based on the result of the assessment, the organization needs to work on improving the employees’ work conditions to improve the overall score in the assessment. For instance, there is the need for the management to reduce workloads assigned to an the employees so at to relieve pressure that comes with too much work. 

One of the areas that surprised me from the assessment is the process of communicating issues and the employees being valued.  Also, the complaints of workloads as reported by employees was a great surprise. There is always the need for most healthcare institutions to engage in solving issues that arise from the processes of work.

Before the assessment, I believed that healthcare institutions have elaborate working environments that support the needs of workers and the entire stakeholders. The organizational leadership is constantly working to ensure an effective working environment, this suggest about health and civility of the workplace.
