Clinical Healthy Work Environment Award

Purpose

The Clinical Healthy Work Environment Award recognizes and honors a clinical facility that demonstrates commitment to a healthy work environment, including physical and psychosocial factors, involvement in the community, and/or personal health resources to promote health in the work environment, and promoting excellence in healthcare outcomes. 

Eligibility

A program, project, or intervention implemented at the unit, department, or system level within any health system or clinical facility is eligible. One-time projects, programs, or interventions implemented by a single individual or research project would not be appropriate without a viable sustainability plan. Sigma membership is not required to apply. 

Current Sigma Board of Directors, Sigma elected international committee members, Sigma staff, Sigma consultants and contracted staff, and members of the judging committee are not eligible to receive this award, serve as nominators, or write letters of support. Members of appointed committees may participate in the award process. Past recipients are not eligible to receive the award.

Award Cycle
