2023 campaign shares what caregivers love about their jobs at CMH

Studies have found that when people engage in work they love, they experience less stress and have a lower resting heart rate. When people love what they do, their entire outlook on work can change. They work harder and aim higher, seeking opportunities to learn and improve on a daily basis. This can bring fulfillment personally and professionally, making a positive impact on the workplace.

In June of 2023, HR kicked off a new campaign featuring CMH caregivers who love what they do. Each month since, hundreds of caregivers have participated in fun “thank you” events, such as ice cream socials and giveaways. Many CMH caregivers have also taken the time to share why they love working at CMH and have been featured on CMH social media channels, in the Health Compass newsletter and elsewhere.

In addition, CMH’s HR team debuted a Kudos Card program, where caregivers can recognize each other by sending thank you notes. Each month, participants are eligible to win $25 for either receiving or sending a Kudos Card.

Since the program’s debut, more than 750 cards have been distributed. The program has been a wonderful boost to caregiver satisfaction.
