Subscribe to receive tips and tools at http://bit.ly/2HgEcfB The Healthy Workforce Institute is the leading authority on creating a healthy workforce culture by eradicating nurse bullying, workplace bullying, and incivility. We work with healthcare organizations and their leaders to create a professional, supportive, and nurturing environment with highly competent and compassionate employees. Our
Survey results don’t change culture. What leaders do with them does.
Too often leaders either:
❌ Take the results personally
❌ Stay silent too long
❌ Ask staff for feedback...then never follow up
And when that happens, trust disappears fast.
In this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing practical ways to turn employee survey data into action that actually improves workplace culture.
We talk about:
✨ Why leaders need to share results early
✨ How to focus on the RIGHT priorities
✨ Why visible follow-up matters
✨ How to involve staff in creating solutions
Because culture change is a team effort...not something leaders should carry alone.

What an incredible day with the team at MedStar Health Washington Hospital Center 💙
So grateful for the opportunity to talk about healthy work cultures, leadership, and the power of how we treat each other. The energy, engagement, and honest conversations were exactly what healthcare needs right now.
This is how we create change...together.
Workplace violence usually doesn’t start with violence.
It starts with the eye roll.
The huff and puff.
The sarcastic comment.
The gossip.
The disrespect that gets ignored because everyone is busy and overwhelmed.
In this week’s Coffee Break episode, I’m talking about why those low-level behaviors matter so much...and how addressing them early can completely change the culture of a team.
Not with punishment.
Not with shame.
But with consistency, clarity, and courage.
Sometimes all it takes is:
“Hey, we don’t do that here.”
In this episode, I share practical strategies to help leaders and teams:
☕ Address incivility early
☕ Set clear behavioral expectations
☕ Empower charge nurses and staff to speak up
☕ Prevent disruptive behaviors from escalating
☕ Build a healthier culture one conversation at a time
Because healthy work cultures are not built overnight. They’re built in the small moments...every single day.

Three Nurses' Week presentations done - 2 more to go! Humbled and grateful for the opportunity to remind nurses...we didn't choose to become a nurse because it was easy - we chose to become a nurse because what we do matters.
Happy Nurses' Week!

I love this…because it’s such a powerful reminder that success isn’t always loud or flashy.
Sometimes it looks like choosing kindness when it would be easier not to, lifting up our co-workers instead of tearing them down, or simply showing up as the kind of person who makes someone else’s day a little better.
At the end of the day, that’s the kind of impact that really matters.
Let’s be intentional about the good we bring into the world. Every. Single. Day. 💛
