In today’s fast-paced world of healthcare, companies are increasingly realizing the importance of creating a positive workplace culture. Here at Rock Creek Senior Living, we understand employee recognition is an essential element to achieve this culture.
Employee recognition is just as it sounds: recognizing and thanking employees for their hard work and effort. At Rock Creek, we like to show this appreciation in several ways. From social recognition, milestone awards, or our weekly creative follow-ups (CFUs), we always take a moment for our hard-working team members.
As the Business Office Director, part of my role is to promote employee appreciation. This past year, my favorite CFU was for the longest commute. It meant a lot to honor the employees who drive almost an hour one way to come to work, and they both work full time. We all know how difficult it is to get up and go in the morning. Well, those ladies are up way before most of us and always show up on time with a positive attitude.
This is just one example of the many wonderful team members we have. We genuinely believe when done right, employee recognition creates a workplace culture that helps people thrive, promotes retention, and makes us a great place to work, which in turn makes us a great place to live.
