Brief assessment of the Results of Work Environment Assessment
Based on the results, how civil is your workplace?
Based on the results, my score was 60, workplace is mildly Healthy. This indicates that my workplace is not a very civil environment.
Explain why your workplace is or is not civil?
My workplace is not civil because of lack of proper and respectful communications among employees and employers. Most of the leadership are disrespectful towards each other and this really affects the workplace environment, and therefore interferes with employee’s morale, which in turn affects patient care. Very poor communications are also seen between the employers and their employees. (Smith et al.,1994)
Another reason that makes me feel that my workplace is not civil is heavy workload on the employees. The employees are assigned a lot of tasks to do which they can’t really be manage in a timely manner and hence more nurses should be employed to reduce the workload to provide more efficient patient care. (Forstater et al., 2004)
Describe a situation you have experienced incivility in the workplace.
A situation where I experienced incivility in my workplace was being denied a chance of being promoted after advancement. I went for my advancement studies and pursued a bachelor’s degree. Before leaving for my studies, I was promised to be promoted to a leadership role which I was denied after completing my bachelor’s Degree, not due to merit, or my work ethic. I was overlooked because of the friendship between the director of nursing and perspective assistant director of nursing, and therefore the job was given to the friend. (Lawn et al., 2004)
How was this addressed?
This incivility was addressed by leadership being transferred to another organization after a series of disagreements with the employers.
