Employee of the Month
- Trisha Thomas – 1220 points earned!
Honorable Mention
- Angie Holliday – 1010 points earned!
Beginning this month, we are celebrating our top performer each month based on performance points earned in the prior 30 days. Points are earned automatically in Wellsky just by meeting our core caregiver expectations: clocking in/out via EVV, arriving on time and working your full shift, not calling off.
We will have an overall winner each month and an honorable mention for second runner up.
Congratulations to both Trisha and Angie – jobs well done ladies!
