Why do we need employee recognition?“You get what you reward” -Michael LeBoeuf

● Increased employee satisfaction○ “Findings show that non financial rewards are the most powerful predictors of job

satisfaction. Therefore, Non-monetary incentives positively influences job satisfaction.”1

● Increased employee retention○ “Companies with employee recognition programs experience a 22% lower turnover rate than

organizations without such programs as well as increased productivity and job performance.”2

● Can help to shape the culture○ “If a specific behavior is noticed, recognized, or rewarded, that behavior tends to be

repeated.”3

New Recognition Programs● Awards Open to All Staff

■ Awarded quarterly

● Nursing Specific Awards○ Daisy Award - “for exceptional nurses”

This is an overview of our proposed recognition programs.

We’ve created a few programs that allow our employees and organization to recognize individuals in a variety of ways.

Kudos Program● Staff to staff program● Great way to say “thank you” or give acknowledgement● Not processed through the CORE committee

● Small token of acknowledgement● Can be given directly to staff member, or passed on through

supervisor● Printed on business cards with an image on one side and

message on the other● Kept in central places throughout the hospital, but easily

accessible for when a quick thank you or acknowledgement is needed.

Shining Star Program● Provides an outlet for anyone to acknowledge the hard work of any TRH

employee● Feedback cards processed through CORE and original is given to intended

employee. Copy is filed with HR in employee file.● Great boost to the general moral at TRH and contributes to a positive

culture.● A way to highlight the excellent customer service

and highlight patient feedback in marketing.● Excellent way to receive compliments/feedback

● Plan to make 4 boxes, 1 at the front entrance, one at the admin entrance, one at the clinic, and one at the nurses station.○ Laura Temby and graciously agree to build them for us if we

provide the materials● Provides an outlet for ANYONE to acknowledge the hard work of any

TRH employee○ Patients, family members, employees, vendors, EMS, etc

● Feedback cards processed through CORE and original is given to intended employee. Copy is filed with HR in employee file.○ Can be used during employee evaluations

● Great boost to the general moral at TRH and contributes to a positive culture.

● A way to highlight the excellent customer service and highlight patient feedback in marketing.○ We would add a checkbox that says “I give permission to use my

comment for marketing and advertising”● Excellent way to receive compliments/feedback from patients.

○ Can help to increase overall feedback for the hospital, and ensures the message makes it back to the intended employee.

● We will work with Nicky to help pass on compliments/feedback filed through Quantros

Safety Program● A quarterly award for an employee who goes above and beyond to ensure

patient safety● Will help to foster a culture of safety awareness and pro-active employees

● This goes back to the quote about rewarding behaviors that you want to see continue

● Will work with Nicky to help identify nominees using the Quantros system

Invest in HappinessEstimated cost of recognition programs

★ Daisy Foundation $250★ Shining Star

○ Hardware for boxes $50○ Cards/Printing $75○ Pins (100/year) $148

★ Patient Safety Award○ Cards/Printing $40○ Pins (4/year) $12

★ Kudos○ Cards/Printing $75

Total $650

We view the cost of a robust employee recognition committee as an investment.

So, Let's put the this $650 into perspective.

Invest in HappinessEstimated cost of replacing a single RN

★ Orientation wages (4wks, ave $27/hr)○ New RN during floor orientation $3,888○ RN providing floor training $3,888○ CPSI/general orientation (10hrs) $270

★ Est lost coverage and overtime $3000

Total $11,046

2015 TRH Turnover

● 27 terminations● 3 changes from full-time to per diem

I’ve used RN’s as an example in this case but it’s cheaper and better for our patients to keep the staff we already have, no matter what department they come from. It will always be more expensive in to replace staff members.

This is a conservative estimate and is based on the wages that a relatively new nurse would receive. There is a minimum of 4 weeks of orientation, but orientation can be longer for nurses who are oriented to multiple units and the Charge position.We also currently have 2 travel-nurses on staff which have a much higher cost than hiring locally.

I’ve also listed some additional costs on the right side, which are not included in the 11,046

● 48% fewer safety incidents● 41% fewer patient safety incidents ● 41% fewer quality defects

1Sorenson, S. (2013). How employee engagement drives growth. Gallup business journal.

Remember this first quote from the beginning of my presentation? You get what you reward.

I’ll just let you look these over because I think that These statistics speak for themselves...

This data is from a 2012, Gallup meta-analysis using 263 research studies across 192 organizations in 49 industries and 34 countries. Within each study, Gallup researchers statistically calculated the work-unit-level relationship between employee engagement and performance outcomes that the organization supplied. Researchers studied 49,928 work units, including nearly 1.4 million employees.
