Healthy Workplace Matters
The Canadian Dental Hygienists Association, the Canadian Dental Association,
and the Canadian Dental Assistants Association are unified in their message
that all oral health care professionals are entitled to work in a healthy
and respectful environment that nurtures a positive workplace culture.
A healthy and respectful work environment:
- reduces workplace stress, conflict, and problems.
- improves communication among colleagues and enhances teamwork.
- increases productivity, knowledge, and understanding.
-
provides for better client care leading to improved client outcomes.
Members of the three associations collaborated to develop and curate
resources and educational materials to effect positive change in the
workplace for all oral care team members. Available on the new
Healthy Workplace Matters microsite, these resources address
multi-purpose,
legal,
mental health,
physical health, and
workplace safety
issues. You will also find
downloadable resources
and a video resource section that includes a series of Q&A video
vignettes on
legal matters,
communication, and
mental health. You will also find links to the Thriving Together Lunch and Learn Series and the Fostering a Healthy and Respectful Workplace: Insights from Leaders in Dentistry webinar series.
