Sutter Health believes in treating those that they service with concern, kindness, and respect. How do you treat others in the workplace with concern, kindness and respect? Why is this important?

"I try to live my life by the golden rule and treat others as I want to be treated. With my coworkers, I am friendly and respectful of our personal differences. I am willing to help them when needed and always have an open ear for them to pick. With patients, I take the time to get to know them and hear their concerns so they can build trust and respect in me. With this base built with patients, I care for them like my own family."

There are several parts to this question. Be sure you answer both parts, describing how you treat others with respect and kindness and why that is important in the healthcare industry.

"I treat everyone in the workplace equally, with kindness and respect. I treat others how I would like them to treat my family members. This is important to me because patients and their families are usually going through a scary time. Being shown compassion and kindness calms them down and reassures them that they are in good hands. It is essential to treat my coworkers the same as we need to trust each other and know we have each other's back when things get tough."
