Silverline Care Employee Recognition Events 2020

Wednesday, 20 January 2021

Silverline Care launched it's Reward and Recognition Programme in April 2019, inviting our staff, residents and their families to help us recognise those who go the 'extra mile' and also those who have shown commitment and loyalty to Silverline.

In November 2019, months of planning and preparation paid off as our nominees and winners celebrated in style at the Lynnhurst Hotel in Johnstone.

We were looking forward to repeating the event in 2020 but unfortunately due to COVID, we had to do things a bit differently to recognise the hard work and commitment of our staff.

So, Silverline Care's Senior Management Team (SMT) visited all of the Homes (virtually, by zoom) to personally express their thanks and appreciation for our staff's commitment and professionalism in responding to the Covid-19 crisis.

As part of the Recognition Events, a special trophy was also presented to each home which the SMT hope will be displayed proudly for all staff, residents and their families to see. Each of our homes was invited to order food and treats to have their own mini celebration. All of the sessions were recorded and links to each of the home's events can be found by clicking the link under their name.

The SMT is proud of the very many dedicated staff we have within all of our Care Homes who strive to make the homes great places for our residents to live and great places to work. We hope each and every member of staff feel proud of themselves and the difference they have made to the lives of our residents and their loved ones.

Hopefully, by November 2021, we will be able to hire a venue and celebrate as we did previously.  If there are still restrictions in place, we will work with the Home Managers and agree on how we will celebrate and reward the staff for their commitment and dedication.

Newark Care Home

At Newark's event, Moira nominated the home's Activity Team for special recognition for going above and beyond.

Moira said: "As soon as I indicated at a staff meeting I found herself short in the Kitchen, the Activity Staff, without being asked, left the meeting, went straight to the kitchen and started to help out.  This immediately relieved the pressure on their colleagues in the kitchen.

"We enjoyed some great weather during the lockdown and the Team carried out many great activities for our residents in the garden where social distancing was in place. 

"These days were fantastic and photos were shared on our social pages so that our residents’ relatives who couldn’t visit, could see that their loved ones were dancing, singing, getting fresh air, smiling and having a good time, despite the crisis we found ourselves in."
