Looking for ideas to acknowledge and inspire your staff? Avera Cancer Institute and Avera Behavioral Health both recently held Staff Appreciation Days on their campuses. During breaks, staff were invited to come to a “spa” room for snacks, giveaways, drawings, chair massages and sound massages. A great morale booster and way to recognize your employees. Want more information? I’ll be glad to share.
