Timed Test

Add a new game in your lineup for National Healthcare Housekeeping Week called, “Can You Find 10 Things Wrong With This Room?” Purposely set up one of your patient rooms incorrectly. Then test each housekeeper individually. Time him or her, seeing how long it takes to find the errors. Reward the people with the best times by giving them Housekeeping Gift Bags Of Appreciation. Hand out Spinning Star Key Tags to thank everyone who played.

Pat On The Back

Since you can’t be everywhere all at once, sometimes your employees witness good deeds when you’re not right there. During your recognition week, set out baskets of “Our Success Is Because Of You” and “Going Beyond Expectations” Lapel Pins. Encourage your staff to use the pins to reward co-workers for doing an excellent job. Remind them to include your facility’s laundry and maintenance team members.

Workers That Rock

Express to your housekeepers how well they’re doing by holding a rockin’ National Healthcare Housekeeping Week. Divide the staff into teams. Ask each team to pick a rock band name. Start the festivities by passing out “Housekeeping Rocks” Mini Carryalls to all team members. Throughout the week, have the teams compete in games, such as charades, Pictionary, and hangman. Award points to each game’s winning team. At the end of the week, tally the points and present “Housekeeping Rocks” Stainless Steel Tumblers to the members of the team with the best overall score.

Bright Housekepping Ideas

Employees who feel they are involved in how their workplace is run are more dedicated to its success. Ask your housekeepers for suggestions on how to improve your facility. Create forms that suggestions can be written on, and set up a suggestions box to put them in. Make sure suggestion contributors write their names on the forms so you can reward them. Give a “Housekeeping: Together We Make The Ordinary Extraordinary” Key Ring With LED Flashlight to each person who submits a serious suggestion. Present a Housekeeping Gift-Boxed Mini Candle to everyone whose idea gets implemented.

Clever Competition

Provide your healthcare housekeeping employees with a chance to show off their abilities by holding a housekeeping triathlon. Choose three events that pertain to your workplace, such as mirror cleaning, bed making, and floor polishing. Give points for each event, allotting the most for first place, next for second, etc. While playing triumphal music, award a “Housekeeping: Making The Ordinary Extraordinary” Roll Up Travel Bag to the person with the most points. Give each triathlete a Two-Tone Fabric Wallet, along with praise for a good effort!
