Congratulations to our February 2023 MVP Award winner, Katarzyna.
Here’s why our staff nominated Katarzyna, who is a Healthcare Assistant, as this month’s winner:
"Katarzyna is very hard-working and an asset to the nursing team. Many want to be on her shift. She does not shy away from responsibilities and goes above and beyond to support all patients in many aspects of their care."
“Kat just makes my life so much easier; she is incredibly supportive of patients and staff alike.”
“Always very helpful with nutritional plans with all patients, thank you”
At Mildmay, our healthcare assistants serve a vital role in supporting the nursing team in the delivery of nursing services, working as part of the multidisciplinary team delivering care, treatment and rehabilitation to our patients.
Mildmay's monthly MVP Awards were devised by one of our physiotherapists, Josh Pedro, who recognised that, in addition to the annual staff awards by our Trustees, our resilient, dedicated and hard-working staff deserved a fun way to support each other and recognise excellence in their colleagues.
Aim
This award aims to recognise the amazing things that Mildmay staff do daily, which may otherwise fly under the radar. By bringing this to the forefront, we can impart regular goodwill and warm, fuzzy feelings into the workplace and give our staff the appreciation they deserve!
Description
The Mildmay MVP Award is a monthly, ‘people’s vote’ style staff awards system. Candidates are nominated by and voted for by staff. No hierarchy!
Each month, we ask for nominations for who our staff think has been the Mildmay MVP. You can nominate any member of staff (clinical, non-clinical, senior management, catering, finance, facilities etc.) & this can be for anything big (saving someone’s life) or small (being really smiley every day).
Once the nominations are in, we can all vote for the winner in an online poll. Everyone sees the nominations, so even if they don’t ‘win’, hopefully, feels nice to be recognised publicly.
Prize
The ubiquitous Amazon vouchers.
