Happy Friday! Cheers to another work week conquered.
When at work, we all deserve to feel safe and healthy. Healthcare workers face a unique challenge. You juggle patient care like a pro, but keeping yourself healthy can feel like another battle entirely. Well, we’re here to give you some tips on maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.
Safety First!
First and foremost, ensure you’re all trained and aware of what you must do to be safe. With software like Abyde, we make training fun! Our entertaining OSHA training challenges the status quo, with interactive activities and videos that can be done at your own pace, keeping your practice open and not in boring training sessions.
Get stylish! Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required in the workplace, making sure you all have the, maybe not so fashionable, but functional protective gear to handle any situation in healthcare. For instance, gloves are a MUST, keeping healthcare workers and patients safe from germs.
Like a dad on a family vacation, make sure your practice has a plan for every situation, keeping everyone on your team on the same page. Having policies and procedures in place allows your practice to be confident and secure in what you must do to keep all employees safe. Don’t know where to start? Don’t worry! As an Abyde user, we make documentation easy, dynamically generating personal policies and procedures for your practice, giving you a game plan on employee safety.
Culture of Compliance
We preach about a culture of compliance, but what does that mean?
A culture of compliance means much more than understanding compliance. Compliance is not like those late nights in college cram studying for an exam, it’s the deliberate actions that keep you and your team safe every day at work.
Compliance isn’t a one-time deal, but the daily commitment to making the right choices. Compliance isn’t just about reacting to problems. A proactive approach, like using Abyde, shows your commitment to preventing issues.
Tools like our Facility Risk Assessment help identify areas for improvement before they become concerns, keeping your practice complaint. We even help you with this, with our ongoing compliance notifications, keeping your practice always in check.
By building out this culture of compliance, your team can feel empowered: confident and secure in where they work, knowing that they have the knowledge and tools to stay safe. This results in a happier and healthier workplace– and who doesn’t love that?
