Creating a Thriving Workplace Culture

Category: Culture & Traditions

Author: Jennifer Richardson, Business Office Director

In today’s fast-paced world of healthcare, we realize the importance of creating a positive workplace culture. Here at The Wildwood Senior Living, we understand to achieve this culture, employees must trust their workplace.

Each August, The Wildwood participates in the Great Place to Work Survey. This is a time where staff can be open and honest about their feedback. The data is collected by a third party, so it truly is anonymous. It is so important for us to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly to know what we can work on to truly make our community a great place to work.

As the Business Office Director, promoting employee appreciation is a key part of my role. We consistently take time to recognize our hard-working team members by expressing our gratitude through weekly Creative Follow-Ups (CFUs). We also celebrate our team with social media shoutouts, individual recognition, and events like Employee Appreciation Day, Nurse’s Week, and National Assisted Living Week. My favorite event is Employee Appreciation Day, as it truly showcases how much we value and appreciate every member of our staff.

We believe when done right, making work a fun place creates a workplace culture that helps people thrive, promotes retention, and makes us a great place to work, which in turn makes us a great place to live.
