Bullying and harassment remain challenging problems in the healthcare sector. Many healthcare workers report experiencing or observing bullying in the workplace. They worry about how it will impact their jobs and its negative impact on the quality of patient care and safety.  And, like all industries, healthcare also faces claims of discrimination and retaliation. 

According to a report published by Human Resources for Health, “workplace civility is one of the key elements of professionalism in the healthcare industry, where an environment of interactive behavior among healthcare practitioners becomes the foundation for a robust hospital performance.”
