Common use of Healthy Work Environment Clause in Contracts

Healthy Work Environment.

The parties echo the statement from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses that the nursing shortage cannot be reversed without a healthy work environment that supports excellence in nursing practice. Toward that end, the parties are committed to working together to address the elements of a healthy working environment and acknowledge the AACN statement: “Healthy work environments do not just happen. Therefore, if we do not have a formal program in place addressing work environment issues, little will change.”
