Healthy Workforce Institute Partners with the Virginia Nurses Association to Strengthen Workplace Culture

Partnering to create healthier healthcare cultures

OLDSMAR, FL, UNITED STATES, November 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Healthy Workforce Institute (HWI), led by Dr. Renee Thompson, is proud to announce a partnership with the Virginia Nurses Association (VNA) to help healthcare leaders tackle one of the biggest contributors to turnover, burnout, and team dysfunction: workplace bullying and incivility.

Through this partnership, VNA members/leaders/employees will gain access to proven strategies, practical tools, and educational resources designed to help leaders address disruptive behaviors early, strengthen accountability, and create more respectful, professional work environments.

The Healthy Workforce Institute works with healthcare organizations and leaders to build cultures where bullying and incivility are immediately rejected and kindness, respect, and professionalism become the norm.

“Creating a healthy workforce doesn’t happen by accident,” said Dr. Renee Thompson, CEO and Founder of Healthy Workforce Institute. “Leaders need the skills, tools, and organizational support to address behaviors that undermine teamwork and create cultures where people feel respected, supported, and valued.”

The goal is clear: stronger teams, better communication, increased retention, and a culture where people feel supported and want to stay.

Together, the Virginia Nurses Association and Healthy Workforce Institute are committed to helping healthcare professionals build workplaces where respect is the standard, not the exception. To learn more about how this partnership can help VNA members, go to https://virginianurses.com/
