A new month (and new year!) is upon us, and the votes for last month's Employee of the Month across all Westward Care homes are in. We're pleased to announce that December's certificate winners are Brooke Hays, Rebecca Ekenimoh, Lisa Heaton, Mousmi Ram and Antonia Neri!
Brooke was named Employee of the Month at The Cedars for her exceptional care for and compassion towards residents, and for her enthusiasm for spending spare time with the residents even in her break time. Receptionist Rebecca was Headingley Hall's Employee of the Month in December, with so many reasons given for her nomination that she actually received two certificates to fit all of them on! One resident said that she reported a maintenance issue in her room to Rebecca and it was the quickest she had ever had an issue resolved.
At Headingley Apartments, Apartments Manager Lisa was named Employee of the Month in recognition of her decades of hard work at Westward Care, as she prepares to leave for pastures new after 30 years of working with us. Mousmi was named Employee of the Month at Pennington Court, meanwhile, for her dedication, commitment and determination to always strive for improvements at the home, where Mousmi is known for always being respectful and kind. Finally, Antonia was declared December's Employee of the Month at Southlands for being reliably helpful and approachable, and for always having the interests of those who live at Southlands at heart.
Special mention must also go to Joanne Shorten, Megan Filburn and Netsayi Jim (at The Cedars); Elkie Robson, Debra Thomas, Angela Schofield, Fatameh Pirsalami, John Beck and Sarah Wedlinscky (Headingley Hall); Fiona Henry (Headingley Apartments); and Anette Doherty (Pennington Court), all of whom received nominations to be Employee of the Month in December.
A huge thank you to everyone who voted last month, to our December winners, and to all of the staff who work so hard and with such dedication across all Westward Care services.
