The 'Passing On Appreciation' Initiative
The ‘Passing On Appreciation’ initiative was developed by Frontline Care Solutions to provide a simple and visible way for aged care workers to be recognised and shown appreciation by their colleagues.
We understand and appreciate the care and dedication shown by all aged care workers and would like to see more recognition of outstanding carers and employees within the industry. To that end we developed the ‘Passing on Appreciation’ program so that deserving care workers in every facility can be recognised.
The program starts by initially recognising an outstanding care worker with a POA badge which they wear for a week or two. In turn they then pin the badge on to a colleague who they believe should also be recognised for their efforts. This ongoing cycle continues, with the badge being passed from carer to carer, providing a cycle of continuous and often spontaneous appreciation.
Here's how it works:
‘Passing On Appreciation’ badges are a simple and visible form of acknowledgement that the efforts of the wearer have been recognised and are appreciated.
To nominate someone in your facility whose efforts you appreciate, please submit the electronic form at the bottom of this page.
We'd love to hear about why they deserve recognition and to help you start a cycle of appreciation in your facility or organisation. We hope that in time all aged care workers receive the appreciation that they so richly deserve.
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”
– William Arthur Ward
