Description
Presented by Missy Sparks, PhD
Hurtful workplace behaviors depress performance, increase
burnout and turnover, and jeopardize patient relations. There is a critical gap
in our education systems that, if addressed, could positively affect students
career outcomes and increase respect in the workplace. What is the gap? Lack of
training on positive workplace behaviors. To help prepare students for the
workplace of the future, educators must include education on positive workplace
behaviors and laboratory professionals must model these positive behaviors.
Learning Objectives
