10 Todos for a Successful Healthcare Employee Recognition Program

Include everyone
Make sure all staff have access to the employee recognition portal. Have Recognize inside Outlook, mobile, TVs in hallways and everywhere people work.

Give rewards your staff want
The number one requested reward from healthcare workers is extra paid time off. Paid time off can help burnt out healthcare workers to recharge and find their passion for their work again. Offering relaxation experiences such as massages, yoga, or meditation classes can also help staff to relax and reduce burnout.

Everyone deserves recognition
Use award certificates to give status. Make the recognition personal. Ensure everyone is recognized at least twice a year for meaningful contributions.

Promote what's important
Give recognition around your organization's specific values such as Safety, HIPAA Compliance, Patient Feedback, or Infection Protection.

Encourage health and wellness
Recognize staff who take care of themselves and others. Promote healthy habits and work-life balance.

Correlate recognition data to KPIs
Is your recognition and rewards program lowering the rate of infection, number of safety issues, or HIPAA violations at your organization? Track data points and correlate KPIs to see relationships.

Choose partners that value privacy and security
Knowing that your data is safe and protected is crucial for healthcare organizations. Make sure that any vendors you work with store employee data encrypted and that contract agreements do not allow selling of personal data.

Develop a communications strategy
Use posters, free standing banners, desk cards, email signatures, and town halls to communicate the recognition program and how it can be best utilized.

Train managers
Managers are the rubber that meets the road in a recognition program. Set time aside with your recognition vendor to host webinars where managers can learn best practices.
