One of the best ways we can find great people to join our teams is by spreading the word that Misericordia is hiring. There is no guarantee that all referrals will be hired but we can guarantee that all referrals who meet the qualifications, will be interviewed and considered. Hiring managers do their very best to hire talented individuals who will add to the team dynamic and provide great care for our residents. You can earn up to $1000 for each successful hire who works with us for a year, as a result of your efforts to refer them to us. In the next few days we will have recruitment materials in our reception areas, please take them and pass them along. If you need additional material, you can reach out to careers@misericordia.com and our Recruiting Team will assist you.

WHAT TO DO

COMPLETING YOUR INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

An Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a plan to help employees reach the goals determined during the performance evaluation process. This plan will help employees stay on track with their goals. All self-raters will meet with their evaluators to discuss the IDP.

Click here to find the IDP form, as well as a training video that will help you understand the form as a self-rater. These materials can also be found in the Performance Review folder on the home screen of all Mis devices.

Pictured: The Performance Review folder found on the home screen of every Misericordia device. To find the self-rater IDP form click the icon > click the SelfRater folder.

MARCH LEADERSHIP SERIES

As part of Fr. Jack's vision for developing a leadership pipeline and developing our management staff at Misericordia, February was the kickoff of our monthly Leadership Series. This is an opportunity to provide foundational leadership learning that offers growth and development for new and existing managers/supervisors. If you are a People Leader at Misericordia, your attendance at one of these sessions is mandatory. We look forward to seeing you in March!

ALSO FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

SEND YOUR EMPOWERMENT SONGS TO US

It is said that "music allows us to communicate common humanity to each other." This quarter we invite everyone to send us songs that make you feel uplifted and empowered. This includes songs that communicate your identity; songs that communicate how you feel; and songs you listen to for a confidence boost to get you through your everyday lives!

Here are the guidelines:

You may include songs from any genre, songs in any language, and songs with no lyrics.
Please be mindful of songs containing explicit language and provide clean/radio edit versions of them if possible.
Residents who wish to submit songs should be assisted by staff, as needed. Please provide their first name and last initial.

There is no limit to how many songs you submit, so drop them here and we will share them in Campus Connections.

OUR LATEST SUBMISSIONS

From Sarah Powills: "'Lovely Day' by Bill Withers—Your loved ones can always help you pull through and make even the toughest days better. They are there for you to lean on."

From Nathalie Virgil: "'Lullaby ' by Low— This is the most hauntingly beautiful, empowering song I've ever heard for so many reasons, and has helped me navigate several hardships in my life. The lyrics, 'Be soft, don't be stern' remind me to remain gentle and calm when facing hardships in my life."

From Kevin McCartan: "The Reason" by Hoobastank

From Ashley Meeker: "Resistance is Futile" by Laibach

DEPARTMENT SPOTLIGHT CORRECTION

In the Department Spotlight published last week, we misspelled "dietitian." Little known fact: according to the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, "The correct or preferable spelling of dietitian has been a long-standing matter for the profession of dietetics. In 1930, the ADA executive committee at the 13th Annual Meeting considered a variety of issues, one being the official spelling of dietitian with a 't'—and this was the spelling that was adopted."

In any case, Misericordia appreciates our dietitians. Be sure to look for their recipes and nutrition tips in future issues of Campus Connections!

A MESSAGE FROM THE HEART
