Hug Me, Don't Hassle Me: The Hypersensitive Workplace

Many times employees forget their responsibility to their employer or their patients especially when caring for patients--in healthcare it is about the patient and professional behavior:---
When you come to work every day, you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. You deserve a working environment that helps you produce quality work, where communication and interactions are good-natured and not intended to offend. Your employer has a responsibility to assure a workplace environment that is free from harassing treatment. Likewise, you have the responsibility to proffer the same treatment to everyone in the workplace. If an incident or conduct is unwelcome, offensive, degrading or humiliating, then it may violate the law.
