Additional Information
The benefits of a healthy work environment have been well documented in the literature and include increased morale, job satisfaction, increased retention, lower turnover and labor costs as well as improved quality of care. However, these benefits do not occur by accident. Intensive planning, managerial support of professional nursing practice, strong physician-nurse collaboration, nurse participation in decision making and participative management are all key factors in promoting and sustaining a healthy work environment (Aiken, Clarke, & Sloane, 2002; Aiken, Clarke, Sloane, Lake, & Cheney, 2008; Bogaert, Clarke, Vermeyen, Meulemans, & Heyning, 2009; Laschinger, Shamian, & Thomson, 2001; Nantsupawat, et al., 2011; Patrician, Shang, & Lake, 2010).
This presentation will discuss the conditions that must be present for a healthy work environment to flourish, the responsibilities of leadership and direct care staff for creating and sustaining a healthy work environment and strategies for creating such an environment.
