Sundaes and Smiles: Employee Appreciation Day at The Summit

Here at The Summit at Chenal Valley Senior Living, we believe in the power of a chuckle. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s important to remember that laughter reduces stress, boosts morale, and enhances teamwork and creativity. Throughout the year as Business Office Director, a part of my role has always been promoting employee appreciation. From social recognition and milestone awards to our weekly creative follow-ups (CFUs), we always take a moment for our hard-working team members. 

This past year, my favorite CFU was National Snack Day. I put tons of snacks on a cart and walked through the community, letting employees take as much as they wanted. I had cakes, chips, cookies, candy, energy drinks, milkshakes, and more! 

Creative Follow-Ups

These CFUs will continue throughout the year, yet there’s a particular excitement for Employee Appreciation Day on March 1st. We’re genuinely thrilled about it. We invite you to join us as we work to foster a strong sense of camaraderie among our team. Laughter will be abundant as we come together to celebrate. And to add to the joy, we’ll be giving out Summit sundaes—a grand ice cream sundae bar. Your presence will surely add to the festivities of the day.

These are just a few examples of the many wonderful ways The Summit at Chenal Valley shows appreciation to the team. We genuinely believe that when done right, employee recognition creates a workplace culture that helps people thrive. It promotes retention and makes us a great place to work, which, in turn, makes us a great place to live.
