Members of the Healthy Workplace Working Group: Experience of the Working Group “I have been impressed and buoyed by the passion of the working group. Individuals with great pride in their own organizations and members, and who very much want the process to work well for everyone, realize that teamwork and support of one another is the only path to success,” says Dr. Hill. “It is a joy to work with such committed working group members.” The new website is meant to empower all members of the dental team to create a better work culture. It provides resources to improve our knowledge, which allows us to effect positive change. Heather Brownlee (CDAA) Jane Sadler (CDAA) Donna Wells (CDHA) Angie D’Aoust (CDHA) Dr. Louise Hill (CDA) Dr. Peter Kearney (CDA) Chiraz Guessaier, Manager of CDA Oasis Past members: Melanie Martin (CDHA) Tammy Thomson (CDAA) “Working with the representatives from CDAA and CDA has been very positive,” says Wells. “It makes sense that a group that is focused on respect and good communication gets along well. From day one, each member’s thoughts, ideas, and opinions were valued by the others, regardless of their profession.” The group has put their words into action. It seems that the respectful and supportive relationships of the working group members set an example for what a positive collaborative environment looks like. N ews and E vents
