A special day to express appreciation to Aged Care Employees seems more important than ever this year.
With all the challenges being faced by an industry going through rapid change it’s essential to recognise the contribution all our team make day in and day to deliver the highest possible standard of care and services, Shepparton Villages’ CEO Veronica Jamison says.
Shepparton Villages has arranged for a number of informal celebration activities for staff across its three sites in and around Shepparton, as well as a “thank-you” video and written messages going out to all the team on the day.
These written messages include a couple of small bonus items intended as a token of appreciation for the way most staff go ‘above and beyond’ to support residents and clients every working day of the year.
“With so much going on in regard to meeting the new Aged Care Act coming in from 1 November this year, there’s a risk of taking for granted the great work that’s already being done routinely by our team members, each and every day,” Ms Jamison says.
“For us, Aged Care Employees Day provides a great reminder of the importance of continuing to honour and appreciate this ongoing work. Today we say a heart-felt well done and thank-you to all of our dedicated team members.”
