What do the results of the Assessment suggest about the health and civility of your workplace?

The results indicate that everyone is respectful and caring. It also indicates that I am working for a facility that provides second chances.

Briefly describe the theory or concept presented in the article(s) you selected.

Explain how the theory or concept presented in the article(s) relates to the results of your Work Environment Assessment.

The theory in the articles that I chose indicates how being civil and respectful in a work environment is important. Making sure to have respect for others will take you a long way and people will be willing to help. Being civil in the workplace is being fair to all. Making sure that everyone is taken care of in a manner that they see they are respected will help keep employees.

Explain how your organization could apply the theory highlighted in your selected article(s) to improve organizational health and/or create stronger work teams. Be specific and provide examples.

My organization can apply the theory to ensure that all locations feel just as welcomed, respected, and cared about. The organization can make sure the employees know they are just as important as the clients that are paying the big bucks to get treatment. Making sure to show their face in all locations and get people that actually care about those around them. To get a stronger team means to get rid of the weaker ones and the people that are rude. Making a strong team also means training people until they feel competent enough to go on their own. I have someone that I work with now that feels she needs more time training. She asks a lot of questions and she ask the same question repetitively. If she got the training she would like, the possibility of her always second guessing herself would decrease. Although she feels like she need more training, I always remind her that I am there to help her if she is not sure about something.
