Summary of Results - Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory

The score from my workplace assessment was 27. The results from the assessment indicated that my organization's workplace was unhealthy. The reason is the change of management, sudden changes introduced by the new management, and increased nurse turnover contributing to the nursing deficit (Clark et al., 2011). There is a lot of incivility Among the management, patient, staff, and co-worker. Also, the workplace lacks effective communication, which negatively impacts the workforce, patients, and the organization.

Applying the theory would play an important role that would benefit the organization by implementing the skill and effective communication in the organization in all departments. Effective communication between the management team and the staff is considered to play a vital role in the organization's success. Lack of effective communication among the employees contributes to loss of focus concerning the organization's goal, vision, and mission (Hendrikz et al., 2019). Effective communication can facilitate effective team development and teamwork among staff members from different departments in the hospital that will ensure the organization's goal, objective, and vision are achieved. The management team has the responsivity of providing direction, guidance, and also training to the employee to enhance their understanding.

The organization could adopt skill communication by ensuring that employees are made aware of the changes and transformations made in the organisataion through meeting memos and direct messages (Abdollahzadeh et al., 2017). The organization can also encourage employee participation, such as providing options and sharing their feeling/opinions during the meeting. It would also be important for the current management leadership to be trained on affecting the management skill of employees in an organization
