The Employee Benefits Awards are highly respected in the market for highlighting best practice and innovation in private and public sector organisations. The 2017 shortlist, decided by a panel of industry experts following a rigorous two-day judging process, formally recognised Holmes Care Group’s ‘Staff Appreciation Week’ initiative.

The initiative implements a well-rounded programme that covers a working week, and includes a number of activities:

  • Thank You Notice Board’s, so that staff can write thank you to any of their team members
  • Tastecard  trial
  • Hand written thank you cards, and chocolates from managers to employees
  • Afternoon Tea/Coffee /Cakes
  • Buffet lunches
  • Dress down week
  • Pamper sessions 

'Staff Appreciation Week’ was introduced by Head of HR, Joanna Rychlik, to demonstrate to employees just how much they are valued. Since its launch, the initiative has become so popular across the Group that employees are continually coming up with new ideas to make each year even more special and rewarding.

Head of HR, Joanna Rychlik comments “We understand that the standard of entry for this year’s awards was extremely high. To say we are delighted that we made it to finalist stage is an understatement. We’re extremely proud to support innovation and best practice in employee benefits, striving to help make our workplace better and more rewarding for our staff.”

To all the staff at Almond View - a big thank you for looking after Mum, with such kindness and dedication. Despite living 400 miles away, I always had a good feeling that she was in good hands. When I did visit, the staff without exception, stopped to chat to us even though they were extremely busy. Please accept my heart felt thank you to you all - a real credit to Almond View.

Bankview Care Home

Thank you for the excellent level of care that my father, Frank Boyle, has received. Bankview demonstrated for us the template for a care home and how it should feel and be run. Friendly, welcoming, excellent care levels, length of time staff remain loyal to the home and above all a clear and comforting atmosphere of great leadership.

K Macdonald in memory of my Aunt Jean

I can't exaggerate the admiration I have for the management and staff of Craigielea. I've never experienced so much patience, coaxing, kindness and care. These people share their lives and emotions, laugh and cry and mourn for the people who entrust themselves to care.

J Ellis in memory of Steve

The staff talked about my best friend being an inspiration to them, despite his illness It made me change my approach with him, instead of being despondent and sad, I spoke with him the way we had always been with each other. The staff saw him as a person.

My uncle, who is a retired GP, recently visited Dad on a trip over from Canada and commented that Craigielea is one of the best places he has ever seen in his experience of elderly care units. Very homely, calm, relaxing and wonderful staff. Keep up the fantastic work you do!
