Each month at Heritage Greens, the CMT (Community Management Team) selects one associate to be the "Star of the Month". It is quite an honor to receive this recognition. It comes with a bonus for that month and you become eligible to be the "Star of the Year". The CMT is very good about recognizing associates from different departments and different buildings. This year we've had associates in dining services, housekeeping, the care communities all selected at SOTM. This month, October, I was lucky enough to get selected.
I was not expecting to get this award because, honestly, I got it two years ago. But, I do think I've earned it. I work hard and try to make myself as available and as open to new things and other experiences at work. But, the truth of the matter is, ALL of the stars have that same wonderful sense of community. And it goes so far beyond those of us who have received this honor.
All of our associates are stars, truly. Anyone of these people could get this award because of the extraordinary care they give our residents. The attention to detail. The participation in creating that team atmosphere that we have. Anyone of them could have been this month's Star of the Month. I just got lucky enough to be selected.
I accept this honor graciously. More importantly, knowing that I work some place where everyone strives to be their best and to do their best, to go above and beyond what is written in our job descriptions....that is truly the honor. And I am proud to be a part of that.
That is all
