Clearly, diagnosis is a critical aspect of healthcare. However, the ultimate purpose of a diagnosis is the development and application of a series of treatments or protocols. Isolated recognition of a health issue does little to resolve it.
In this module’s Discussion, you applied the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory to diagnose potential problems with the civility of your organization. In this Portfolio Assignment, you will continue to analyze the results and apply published research to the development of a proposed treatment for any issues uncovered by the assessment.

Initial Post for evaluation of workplace civility
The quality and state of health of places of employment cannot be evaluated based on simple gross assessment and an individual’s perception. Solving those cases is not an easy task and it can only be done after a careful and methodical analysis as many hidden problems may be found. The Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory is a standardized approach which may be utilized for identifying several elements of organizational health, including elements of workplace civility (Pugh, & Altmann, 2020). Respect as a component of civil behavior in the place of work is an essential factor in creating a healthy work climate among the human resource. Measures directed at increasing civil behavior can be considered as conclusive; however, their efficiency largely depends on the prospects of their utilization and supervisory mechanisms. The actual data can be obtained using tools such as the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory tools and this will shed light on the true state of civility and health in the workplace setting.
From the Work Environment Assessment tool that I have filled in and my workplace’s situation, I realized that it received a score of 50-60 out of 100 on the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory. This implies that as much as there are organizations with structures that foster civil and positive corporate culture there are other sectors that need enhancement. For example, although workers are polite to their counterparts and often give them encouragement, there is sometimes a deterioration of the pleasant environment (Peng, 2023). This assessment suggests that, although my workplace’s civility is moderate, there is still potential to improve the level of respect and support demonstrated more frequently.
One of the incidents that witnessed incidences of rude behavior at my workplace was a fellow team member specifically a team leader who scorned anybody in the team during group discussions. Such a behavior developed an awkward environment for a team, and other members hardly could voice their concern or any thought that was on their mind. In the beginning, useful problem solving was not noticed by the management, while the problem only increased (Peng, 2023). Every now and then, one or two people made complaints to the leadership, and from there, someone initiated a concern-raising meeting. The following action was taken by the management to facilitate the solution; the management called a meeting with the involved parties and set new policies on communication that recognizes the authority of equal respect. This example reveals why intimidation and other forms of incivility must be fought and why procedures meant to foster civility should be properly implemented.
As with any other area, structured tools and assessments serve the purpose of revealing the achievements of organizations in the sphere of workplace health and their shortcomings as well. It allows them to put measures that will advance a particular area lacking, which promotes health and efficiency at the workplace.
