The Hallmarks of Healthy Workplaces recognition program was created to recognize workplaces which have created positive work environments for nurses in North Carolina. Hallmarks recognition is open to any workplace where three or more Registered Nurses work or volunteer, including hospitals, units within hospitals, schools of nursing, home health agencies, correctional facilities and more.

Congratulations to the latest Hallmarks recipients!

The Hallmarks of Healthy Workplaces program has received funding from The Duke Endowment that allows us to provide scholarships for applicants located in rural counties.

The scholarship funding covers 70% of the Hallmarks application fees and is available to workplaces in rural counties.

Interested applicants should contact Kristen Feneley for more information.

The Hallmarks vision is that North Carolina will be blanketed in workplaces that value the services their registered nurses provide.

Hallmarks Overview

To give recognition to single health-related agencies or units of those agencies which have developed healthy workplaces for nurses.

To promote open communication, respect and solution-focused actions to enhance the nurse’s delivery of professional care.

To strengthen the recruitment and retention of nurses.

Hallmarks recipients are recognized twice each year during a recognition ceremony. Recognition ceremonies feature guest speakers and celebrate the accomplishments of healthy workplaces. Each workplace receives a Hallmarks award as well as Hallmarks pins.

The Recognition Ceremony is a media event. Members of the press are invited to attend. Hallmarks staff send press releases to newspaper and television reporters detailing your accomplishments.

The May 2012 recipients will be honored at a ceremony on May 11, 2012 at the Greensboro Embassy Suites. If you are interested in attending, please contact Kristen Feneley.
