In addition to our Be A Star program, we have dedicated a wall to all Wesley Willows dining services staff so that they can be recognized, praised and encouraged. On this wall each employee has their own plaque and can earn inspiration awards by going above and beyond in their services to other staff, residents, departments, supervisors or management. Once an employee collects 10 points they can turn in their awards to HR for a $10.00 gift card of their choice. We have found that aside from saying "Thank You" directly to another that this has aided in making our employees feel happy and fulfilled in their positions.
"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have." ~Frederick Koenig
