Ridgeview Place, Sauk Rapids, recently announced its first Employee Excellence Award Winners. The Employee Excellence Program is a new way to recognize the excellent staff members at Ridgeview Place. The awards focus on recognizing outstanding performance in three specific categories: customer satisfaction, quality caregiver and teamwork. An Excellence Award will be given to an employee for each category two times per year for a total of six employees recognized each year.
All nominations are accepted from employees, customers and other non-employees. A $250 cash award will be awarded to each Excellence Award category winner each term. This term’s Employee Excellence Award Winners are Sadie Roden for quality caregiver, Abbie Harms for teamwork and Pam Bennett for service excellence.
Roden was complimented for her longevity of service and commitment to her job. This dedicated worker shows concern for everyone under her care. Harms’ coworker described her as one who is always offering to help and takes the time to thank them for their teamwork. She is always smiling and good at what she does. Bennett is one of the best, said her nominee. She is cheerful and friendly and willing to respond graciously to any request.
We are grateful for the excellent employees at Ridgeview Place and our tenants are blessed to be in their care.
