Fostering awareness, equipping leaders, empowering staff, and hardwiring healthy workforce best practices into the organization has prompted a cultural shift that supports and sustains a healthy workforce.  The organizational commitment to a healthy workforce culture through addressing incidents of workplace bullying and incivility has had a positive impact as seen by improved retention and decreased incidents of disruptive behaviors.“Baylor Scott & White Temple is the role model for all healthcare organizations by stepping up to say that the way they treat each other is just as important as the care they provide.” ~Dr. Renee Thompson Dr. Renee Thompson is the CEO & Founder of the Healthy Workforce Institute and works with healthcare organizations to cultivate a professional workforce by addressing workplace bullying, and incivility.
