This is one of a series of six Best Practice Guidelines (BPGs) on Healthy Work Environments  \n(HWE), developed by the nursing community. The aim of these guidelines is to provide the best available evidence to support the creation of thriving work environments.  \nEvidence-based HWE BPGs, when applied, will serve to support the excellence in service that nurses are committed to delivering in their day-to-day practice. RNAO is delighted to be able to provide this key resource to you.  \nWe offer our endless gratitude to the many individuals and organizations that are making our vision for HWE BPGs a reality. To the Government of Ontario and Health Canada for recognizing RNAO’s ability to lead this program and providing generous funding. To Donna Tucker – Program Director from 2003 to 2005, and Irmajean Bajnok – Director, Centre for Professional Nursing Excellence and the program’s lead since 2005, for providing wisdom and working intensely to advance the production of these HWE BPGs. To Pauline Matthews, HWE Program Assistant for the endless hours of unwavering support and committed work. To each and all HWE BPG leaders and in particular, for this BPG, Panel Co-Chairs Linda O’Brien-Pallas, Donna Thomson and Phyllis Giovannetti, and Panel Coordinator Val Coubrough, for providing superb stewardship, commitment and above all exquisite expertise. Thanks also go to the amazing Panel Members who generously contributed their time and knowledge. We could not have delivered such a quality resource without you!  \nWe thank in advance the entire nursing community, committed and passionate about excellence in nursing care and healthy work environments, who will now adopt these BPGs and implement them in their worksites. We ask that you evaluate their impact and tell us what works and what doesn’t, so that we continuously learn from you, and revise these guidelines informed by evidence and practice. Partnerships such as this one are destined to produce splendid results – learning communities – all eager to network and share expertise. The resulting synergy will be felt within the BPG movement, in the workplaces, and by people who receive nursing care.  \nCreating healthy work environments is both a collective and an individual responsibility. Successful uptake of these guidelines requires the concerted effort of nurse administrators, staff and advanced practice nurses, nurses in policy, education and research, and health care colleagues from other disciplines across the organization. It also requires full institutional support from CEO’s and their Boards. We ask that you share this guideline with all. There is much we can learn from one another.  \nTogether, we can ensure that health organizations including nurses and all other health care workers, build healthy work environments. This is central to ensuring quality patient care. Let’s make health care providers, their organizations and the people they serve the real winners of this important effort!  \nDoris Grinspun, RN, MSN, PhD (c), O.ONT.  \nExecutive Director  \nRegistered Nurses’ Association of Ontario  \nDeveloping and Sustaining Effective Staffing and Workload Practices  \nDisclaimer & Copyright  \nDisclaimer  \nThese guidelines are not binding on nurses or the organizations that employ them.
