Creating Connections: Employee Appreciation Day at Rock Creek

Rock Creek Senior Living Shows Appreciation to Its Dedicated Employees

Here at Rock Creek Senior Living, we believe in the power of a chuckle. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s important to remember that laughter reduces stress, boosts morale, and enhances teamwork and creativity. Throughout the year as Business Office Director, a part of my role has always been promoting employee appreciation. From social recognition and milestone awards to our weekly creative follow-ups (CFUs), we always take a moment for our hard-working team members. 

This past year, my favorite CFU actively hosted the Staff Olympics for National Assisted Living Week. We divided the staff into teams, each eagerly gearing up to compete in a series of lively events. These included the fastest silverware rolling, chair races, and trashcan basketball, among others. The winning team actively earned the reward of smearing pie in the faces of three department heads. We actively had a blast!

Creative Follow-Up

These CFUs will continue throughout the year, but we are truly excited to celebrate Employee Appreciation Day on March 1st. Join us as we share laughter by creating a sense of camaraderie amongst our team and continue with the power of a chuckle as we celebrate by providing food in the breakroom and an employee appreciation scavenger hunt. 

These are just a few examples of the many wonderful ways Rock Creek Senior Living shows appreciation to the team. We genuinely believe that when done right, employee recognition creates a workplace culture that helps people thrive. It promotes retention and makes us a great place to work, which, in turn, makes us a great place to live.
