The individual resident's quality of life, ensuring the best possible care and strengthening the professionalism of the individual employee were the key words as 39 sosu assistants (SSAs) and helpers (SSHs) were gathered to lay out the future strategy for Enghaven and Husene in Vejen Municipality.
Great confidence in the employees.
Under the heading "Cooperation and communication", the management had given the 39 sosu assistants and helpers the opportunity to work focused on the strategy for 2 days based on 4 tracks:
Efter en kort præsentation af rammerne for temadagene –’slap’ ledelsen og gav medarbejderne frie tøjler i proces-forløbet.
Mette Gaardsted, center manager for Enghaven says:
– ”Vores medarbejdere er vores vigtigste aktiv, de er faglige dygtige og har den viden der skal til for at skabe de bedste resultater for Enghaven og Husene –og vi i ledelsen har stor tiltro og tillid til vores medarbejdere. De yder en kæmpe indsats og går hver dag på arbejde for at gøre en forskel for den enkelte beboer. Medarbejderne kvitterede ved at udvise masser af drivkraft, målrettethed og engagement i strategi-arbejdet. Det var en medarbejdergruppe, der er stolte af deres arbejde og den rolle de udfører. De bød ind med vilje, beslutsomhed og fokus på at skabe livsglæde og kvalitet for hver enkelt beboer i Enghaven og Husene.
A strategy that makes sense in everyday life!
Medarbejderne blev igennem hele forløbet faciliteret af
HUMI, der gennem processen understøttede medarbejderne i arbejdet med strategien. Fokus var på hverdagen, med de opgaver og udfordringer Enghaven og Husene løser døgnet rundt. Processen guidede medarbejderne til at arbejde hen imod et fællesmål.
Nina Dalmark, sosu assistant, day shift at Enghaven says:
- “It makes sense to work focused on the strategy in this way. Our job satisfaction is equal to the residents' life satisfaction ”
Marianne Foged, area manager says:
- "By continuously communicating and working together on the strategy, we ensure a task solution and prioritization of focus areas so that as much time as possible is spent on the core task, namely the individual resident".
At the end of day 2, the employees presented their future offers and wishes to the management. The strategy work was translated into concrete action plans, ready to be initiated and implemented. In addition, each employee was given the opportunity to work with their own individual development plan. A development that is worked on further at home in everyday life between employee and manager. Both employees and management had a positive belief in the future.
A belief in that collaboration and communication is the way to make Enghaven and Husene an even more beautiful symbiosis in close interaction between employees, management, volunteers, relatives and residents.
There was a clear boost to be seen, in the energy and the collaboration already the day after the employees had returned to work. So the management is looking forward to a follow-up meeting, together with all employees and HUMI, in September 2017 where the results will be celebrated and the strategy plans adjusted.
