Lateral Workplace Violence - Creating a Safe Place for Staff and Residents
Course Description
As surprising as it may be, healthcare professionals don’t always treat each other with kindness and respect. In fact, research suggests that lateral violence in healthcare is a serious issue. While individual acts of lateral violence can appear relatively harmless, they create a toxic environment that takes a toll on employees’ morale, hindering the success of the healthcare institutions for which they work. This eye-opening presentation will define lateral workplace violence and provide participants with tips and approaches to minimize the potential for lateral workplace violence to occur.
