All work must be original and based on a fictional healthcare facility.

• A brief paragraph summarizing how the supervisor can promote a culture of acceptance.

You need to include a brief summary at least three intrinsic and three extrinsic rewards that supervisors can offer to employees. Make sure to clearly explain what would warrant each award.
