6 Ways to Thank Your Employees Taking On Call While you Celebrate the Holiday

We just passed Memorial Day, when we celebrate summer’s here with our friends, loved ones, family. But what about your employees this 4th of July coming up ?How will you thank the very people that power your business and profit and may be on call for you then ?

“Truly, from bosses I liked, anything was great because I appreciated that they thought of me. From “bad” bosses, anything would annoy me. You can’t make up for being a jerk with a token of any kind once a year.”

Ideas for inexpensive but really appreciated gifts for Care Managers and staff– cards to grocery stores or department stores, a gift certificate from Amazon all given with a nice personal handwritten note.

Staff Thank You Gifts All Year.

1. You need to bill 85% of your client hours. When a care manager does bill’s 85% write them a handwritten thank you note being grateful for having the amount of productivity to keep the business thriving. Handwriting is not a lost art. It sends a message that you take the time personally to really care what the employee does for your business.

2. Send a handwritten thank you note to each staff member during the year to applaud something they did. Saying thanks about something specific may be the ultimate reward. If you do it selectively yet authentically, a thank you note may be pinned above your employee’s desk for years. Create a formal letter recognizing your employee ’s achievement. Sign it and use the company’s seal to give the letter something extra. If you really want to do it right, frame it.

3. Name an employee of the month in your newsletter with their picture. Give them a gift to tell them you are grateful for their hard work. Create a formal letter recognizing your employee’s achievement. Sign the letter and use the company’s seal to give the letter something extra. If you really want to do it right, frame it too.

4. Have an employee summer picnic and give gifts to all employees for being such excellent care managers and for billing the 85% you need them to bill so you will all have employment.

5.Plan employee picnics, birthday parties, anniversary parties to thank them publicly throughout the year.

6. B.J Spitler , one of the first and I might say the greatest care managers, founded Age Concerns in San Diego in 1982. She gave gifts of massages to her care managers. A brilliant gift, a massage recognizes the tough emotional work that care manager’s do and their need to take care of themselves- which you as their employer are doing.

Give Thanks to Employees- Throughout the year.
