Use this document to complete the Module 4 Workplace Environment Assessment .

Summary of Results - Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory	The overall civility score is 55. This suggests that my workplace is unhealthy.
Identify two things that surprised you about the results. Also identify one idea that you believed prior to conducting the Assessment that was confirmed.	The first thing that surprised me about the results is that my workplace does not have a positive environment as I initially thought. The second thing is how large the gap is between the leadership and the rest of the employees in terms of decision-making. One idea that I believed before taking the assessment that was confirmed is the workload of the staff is not fairly distributed and that most employees are overworked.
What do the results of the Assessment suggest about the health and civility of your workplace?	The results suggest that my workplace is unhealthy and has a low level of civility.
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 presented in the article is the DESC model. It presents an effective way to address specific incivility incidents (Clark, 2015). It can help alleviate the problems in my workplace that have been identified in the assessment.
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.	The organization can use the DESC model to improve staff to patient ratios. Specifically, it will provide the staff members with an opportunity to describe and express their concerns to the management, state alternatives to the current work model, and the consequences of these actions discussed between all the stakeholders.
