Video Series: Fostering a Healthy & Respectful Workplace

CDHA’s 2023 Healthy and Respectful Workplace Survey found that 6 in 10 respondents had either experienced, witnessed or experienced and witnessed some form of mistreatment in the workplace. To address this concerning issue, we have released a new video series highlighting dental offices and organizations that have incorporated healthy and respectful policies and practices into their business models. We hope the ideas presented by the panelists in this series will spark meaningful discussions among dental hygienists and their oral health care teams, encouraging them to develop similar policies and practices for their workplaces. Access to the videos is exclusive to CDHA members.
