Description
The American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) identifies key elements of a health work environment. Key elements to build belonging within a health work environment (HWE) include:
- Recognizing the value each person brings to the team
- Open, respectful, and effective communication
- Helping teams identify missing "F"s by valuing multiple perspectives
- Avoiding communication breakdowns
- Building departmental cultures where it is safe for employees to speak up with safety concerns
- Advancing collaboration and mutual respect, even during conflict.
- Strengthening employee fulfillment, retention and morale
At CentraCare, many different generations work together to care for patients and one another. Understanding generational strengths and differences is essential to promoting belonging, building HWE's, and advancing patient safety.
