Yesterday (June 21), the annual National Healthcare Estates & Facilities Day surpassed the success of last year’s inaugural event, with 563 organisations registering to take part, reaching 287,425 team members (up by 25 and 36,000 respectively.
With more time to plan, and using the toolkit of ideas supplied via the website, as well as knowledge of what worked well last year, activities for the 2023 celebration were diverse and imaginative. They included:
• Demonstrations and displays of the many roles E&F staff carry out
• Giving out team awards
• Making videos to showcase E&F staff doing their ‘day job’
• Handing out badges, biscuits and books to staff
• Team building fun events
• Senior staff serving meals and refreshments for team members
• Personal thank you messages from CEOs, Directors and Board members
• Thank you wall to spotlight team members
Please let us know about any events you may have held, with photos (hi-res, large files please) – send them to [email protected] – and we will try to use as many as possible in the July/August issue of the Pulse magazine.
