Summary of Results -
Clark Healthy
Workplace Inventory
According to the survey I carried out, I can say that Clark Healthy Workplace is one of the unhealthy
environments. Several aspects confirmed this element of a harmful condition. I surveyed with my
coworker, and we had to come up with appropriate measures that will help in inducing change necessary.
During this process, we had to come up with four processes and stages that led to group development. The
first stage was to come up with a procedure. The method was to cater for how to present ideas and
responsibilities necessary for each group. The second process was storming, and it helped us a lot to collect
data related to the organization. Thirdly, the initiating process played a key role. The team was

During the study, I came across some behaviors that surprised me a lot. I was surprised at how the nurse's
union in the organization was working. I wanted to join this union in the organization, but what I
experienced was not good for me at all. At that time, I thought the workplace environment was uncivilized.
The chief officer completely behaved differently. He failed to indicate well-scheduled meetings, and at the
same, he could call for unapproved meetings. This was a peculiar thing to me, and I was not happy with the

nurse's union. The worse thing was fear of job losses if one missed the meetings.
On the other hand, I was surprised by how some nurses in the organization were unaware of these
meetings. One of the nurses said that he was not aware of the meeting, whereby the CNO was charged with
some criminal labor behaviors in the organization. Through this analogy, I was able to identify the aspect
of lack of direction in the organization.
There is one idea that I believed before I conducted the assessment procedure. The idea that came to relate
to this incidence was the issue of brainstorming. From what I observed, brainstorming ideas and
appropriate solutions to a specified condition in an organization can ultimately lead to solving the problem
of unhealthy workplace conditions. From my point of view, I believe that working as a team is one of the
crucial elements that contribute to the issue of civility in an organization. This element has been confirmed
in those organizations where the spirit of teamwork is employed all the time (TEDx. 2017). Besides, the
idea of a partnership led to a healthy workplace. This happened immediately when the CNO of the
organization was punished for his strange behavior in the workplace.

What do the results of
the Assessment suggest
about the health and
civility of your
workplace?
The results show that teamwork in an organization determines the civility of the workplace. According to
Griffin and Clark (2014), collaboration ensures there is idea generation in an organization, thus making
work easy to handle all the time. From the author, we have identified how the aspect of diversity leads to
conflicts. It also leads to unfair behaviors, as indicated in our organization. Teamwork cuts off those
malpractices behaviors since these practices can be aired to the appropriate officials, and then immediate
action was taken as soon as possible. Furthermore, cooperation is an indication of following the
organizational vision and mission, thus creating an improved level of sustenance all the time (Clark et al
