TEAMBUILDER Masonic Village at Elizabethtown Employee Newsletter Dec. 29, 2017

Welcome, New Employees!

As we close another successful year at Masonic Village, I wanted to share my speech to the recently honored staff at the Annual Employee Service Recognition Program. I felt it was a message that all employees should hear. “Today is a celebration marking milestones, but really we are celebrating your service and your dedication to our residents and our Mission. Typically at this event, I would read resident comments and thank you notes, and I have plenty of those. But, today I would like this message to come from the Masonic Village leadership team. You deserve to hear how much we appreciate you. Today, I want to thank you for: · Your kindness and compassion to our residents, even when it's hard;· Your willingness to teach and mentor your co-workers, even when you don't really have time;· Your flexibility, even when we ask a lot of you on short notice;· Your initiative, even when no one asked you for it;· Your assistance to visitors, even when it distracts you from your planned work; · Your resilience and determination, even when we throw a lot of changes your way;· Your sensitivity in handling difficult family situations, even when emotions are high;· Your creativity in solving problems, even when others have given up; · Your patience, even when we do things that don't always make sense;· Your contribution to our success and our reputation, even through our toughest times; And finally, THANK YOU for your loyalty, even when you had choices or opportunities to go work elsewhere. I feel very lucky to work with a team like this, so on behalf of our leadership team, it is our pleasure to honor you today and everyday!” My best to you and your family for a

Another Successful Year!

Happy New Year!
