Cultivating a Healthy Workforce by Addressing Bullying & Incivility
Interprofessional Teams
There is an epidemic of bullying and incivility in healthcare that not only affects morale and turnover, but it also affects patient outcomes. The problem is that healthcare organizations aren’t doing a good job making sure their employees are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to confront disruptive behaviors.
As a result, we are hemorrhaging really great employees and harming the very patients whom we’re serving.
New employees are not leaving for better compensation down the street – they are leaving because of how they’re being treated by their co-workers.
We can no longer afford to use silence as a strategy.
How are you making sure that every team member you hire is equipped to become a part of the solution – not the problem?

The good news is that our research shows that when you provide every member of the interprofessional team with the knowledge and practical skills to confront disruptive behaviors, they don’t suffer in silence and then quit. They help to improve the culture by taking a stand against bullying and incivility.
And, as a bonus, they don’t become the bullies.
We made this easy for you to equip your employees to address bullying and incivility in our new eCourse,
Tell me if this sounds like you…
-
You spend time and energy recruiting new employees only to watch them quit. Your recruitment rate is barely keeping up with your turnover rate resulting in a net zero additional staff.
-
When asked by your current employees about getting the help they need, you keep making promises that you’re doing the best you can to recruit but you feel like you’re on a hamster wheel.
-
What you want is to recruit great employees who stay.
We can help get you off that wheel!
Give your new and existing employees the help they need to confront any incidents of disruptive behaviors so they stay.
In this 1-hour educational program, individuals will gain knowledge and learn practical strategies they can immediately implement to address disruptive behaviors within their work environment.
When individuals are equipped to address disruptive behaviors in the moment it cultivates a healthy work culture of mutual respect across all teams and disciplines.

Imagine...
Imagine if you could hardwire and sustain a culture where bullying and incivility were immediately rejected and professionalism and respect became the new norm.
Where employees felt so supported by their co-workers that they never wanted to leave.
Wouldn’t it be great to be a leader in this organization.
It can happen. We've seen it!
