Staff Recognition
CVMC has an active Service Excellence program that recognizes staff
members for providing a high level of courtesy and care to patients,
visitors and one another. Gift coupons for the cafeteria, gift shop
and other treats are given to every nominee. Then once a month, one
employee at each campus is named a “Service Excellence Employee of
the Month” and receives additional rewards and use of a specially
designated parking space. Employees of the Month are then eligible
for the annual “Employee of the Year” awards which includes one day
off with pay and other incentives.
Staff also enjoy recognizing each other with the “Candy Bar
Program.” This more immediate form of recognition is widely used at
each campus and enables employees to send a candy bar to a co-worker
along with a small note of thanks. Copies of both the Service
Excellence and Candy Bar nominations are placed in the employees’
personnel files.
Service Awards
Every year CVMC formally recognizes employees who have reached
important milestones in their employment. Staff members who are
marking five-year anniversaries are the guests of honor at a special
breakfast where they are treated to fun activities and gifts and are
honored by their supervisors and directors.
Employees who are celebrating 10-year anniversaries and beyond are
invited to an elegant awards luncheon. Every honoree is personally thanked by
members of the administrative team and their own director. Staff
members who reach 25-years or more of service are also profiled in a
commemorative memory book and featured in a special video
presentation. Honorees receive awards ranging from beautiful lapel
pins to other gift catalog items depending upon their anniversary
mark.
In 2003, CVMC proudly honored 92 five-year employees, 59 10-year
staff members, 40 15-year employees, 49 20-year recipients and 22
25-year staff members. Eight employees were recognized for 30 years
of service and four were honored for 35 years of service. And one RN
who works in our Medical/Oncology unit was recognized for his
amazing 40 years of service to the organization.
