Foster A Positive Work Environment
Published
Workplace violence isn’t just between nurses and patients. It can happen between colleagues, too. One of the best ways to prevent situations from escalating among coworkers is to foster a healthy, positive workplace culture.
Today’s challenge is to counteract bullying and incivility by spreading positivity and kindness. Try one of these ideas:
- Smile and greet others by name.
- Leave an appreciation note on a coworker’s car or a thank-you sticky note at their workstation.
- Practice respectful, civil communication at all times.
- Say “thank you” often — praise colleagues on the spot and in the presence of others.
