Take the Pulse of Your Team Environment With HWEAT-Team

Assessing the health of your work environment is essential to create and sustain a workplace where nurses provide the highest standards of compassionate care while being fulfilled in their work.

 

Recently updated to assess the work environment of interprofessional healthcare teams, AACN’s new Healthy Work Environment Assessment Tool (HWEAT) Team is a free tool that highlights unit and organizational influences in the workplace and identifies opportunities for growth in each of the six evidence-based AACN Healthy Work Environment Standards. The online assessment takes less than 15 minutes to complete and produces a baseline report that helps identify strengths and opportunities. The report also includes a comprehensive toolkit to guide the next steps and track progress over time.

 

Please share this information with your chapter members to encourage the development of an implementation plan to ensure everyone’s voice is heard.
