Everything you need to build a healthy work culture.
The Healthy Workforce Academy provides evidence-based education that equips the entire healthcare team, from leaders to frontline staff, with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to foster a healthier workplace culture, delivered at scale and designed to fit their schedules.
Skills don't develop from a single workshop. They develop through structured, repeated practice — and a system that holds learners accountable along the way.
The Academy is the online platform behind our approach. It delivers the same evidence-based system that powers our keynotes and workshops to learners across your organization. They can access it on demand, move through at their own pace, and apply what they learn immediately in their work.
- Equip leaders and teams to address bullying, incivility, and disruptive behavior in the moment
- Set clear behavioral expectations and build the accountability systems that make them stick
- Handle difficult conversations using proven scripts and repeatable frameworks
- Cultivate a culture where professionalism is the norm — not the aspiration

Unfortunately dealing with disruptive behaviors is a part of every workforce. A lot of managers including myself are not equipped to handle difficult conversations. It is easier for me to give Kudos and appreciations for a job well done. I was very comfortable providing counseling for poor attendance or documentation issues; but for nonverbal or disruptive behaviors were definitely a challenge. The straightforward educational material and real life examples have given me the tools as well as the confidence to have the difficult conversation my whole team needs me to have in order to create a Healthy Workplace for each of them. Thank you Renee and Team.
When I moved to a Nurse Residency Program Coordinator position from a bedside role, I was shocked to hear the experiences of our new graduate nurses with incivility and bullying. Since incorporating the Graduate Nurse Anti-Bullying Curriculum content into our Nurse Residency Program, our new graduate nurses now know how to recognize disruptive behaviors and have felt empowered to speak up about incivility and bullying. The program has definitely benefitted our new graduates, but I think the greater benefit is the awareness of nursing leadership and the discussions happening because of the themes the new graduates are bringing to the table. I see leaders frequently posting HWI resources in bathrooms, locker rooms, and staff lounges to normalize the conversation around incivility and bullying. This program has been an invaluable resource to help us address incivility and bullying not only with our new graduate nurses, but throughout our organization.
As the director of the Nurse Residency Program at Los Angeles General Medical Center, I had the opportunity to incorporate the Healthy Workforce Institute’s Graduate Nurse Anti-Bullying Curriculum (HWI GN-ABC) into our new graduate program. The curriculum helps participants understand the differences between incivility and bullying and provides practical strategies to address both. It also offers clear definitions, realistic case scenarios, and tools for building a healthier work environment. Since implementing the program, our workplace culture has improved, and novice RNs have shared how supported they feel. Based on our experience, the HWI GN-ABC is a valuable resource for fostering a positive, respectful environment for the next generation of nurses.
