How To Celebrate Your Employees This Year

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that 2020 has been an exceptionally unusual year. Due to COVID-19, your team faced unprecedented roadblocks, rose to monumental challenges, and exceeded expectations for both your practice and your patients. Show your team genuine support, care, and recognition by taking some time to celebrate their hard work in person and online! SmileMakers is here to help you end the year on an incredible note and keep your team smiling with the following ideas.

Celebrate Value-Driven Team Members

Give your employees the recognition they deserve by celebrating one or more team members who exemplified your business’s values this past year. Email your team and let them know each member can shout out a co-worker who fully embodied an office value throughout 2020. Google forms make it easy to facilitate surveys and garner feedback from your crew. This is a great way to celebrate and recognize a multitude of your employees who have made your practice a great place to work and grow this past year.

Select An Employee Of The Year

Is there one stand-out leader in your office who has gone above and beyond this year in their efforts and accomplishments to make your practice truly flourish? It’s time to let them know their hard work, sacrifice, and commitment to their craft does not go unnoticed! Select this special team member as the “Employee of the Year”, or encourage your team to anonymously vote for the winner to ensure all voices are heard. Give them a fun prize, such as a gift card to a local small business, to show your gratitude!

Show Off Your Team

There’s never been an easier way to share exciting news with your patient family. With just a quick photo and a short paragraph, you can celebrate your team and Employee of the Year on social media for your whole patient community to see. Not only will your employees appreciate the public shout out, they’ll also enjoy the supportive engagement from your followers. Your end of the year newsletter is also a great space to include photos, quotes, and shout-outs for your Employee of the Year and your value-driven team members. By giving your patients a glimpse into your glowing office culture, they’ll remain confident that your practice is more than just a stellar space to receive high-quality care— it’s a place where employees can grow and thrive.
