Shine a Light: Recognize a colleague who is making a difference
December 9, 2020 // FOUND IN: Our Employees
The Michigan Medicine Spirituality Resource Group (SRG) is a voluntary, member-led group that discusses the role spirituality plays in everyday work at Michigan Medicine. The group provides a mechanism for feedback to leadership on how to foster inclusion and collaboration in the context of spirituality.
The SRG is taking this opportunity to promote the Michigan Medicine Recognition Site which provides different ways to recognize colleagues who inspire and make a difference through their dedication, hard work and caring. Since its launch in mid-September, more than 7,000 notes of appreciation have been shared with Michigan Medicine faculty, staff and learners.
The spirit of this program embodies what the SRG espouses for the culture in Michigan Medicine and our collective well-being.
Please consider "shining the light" on colleagues who make a difference. You cannot fathom the joy and affirmation you may be giving to that person. Take time to send a "Making a Difference" award or an e-card. What a wonderful opportunity given the challenges of 2020 and the timing of the year!
Please use this link to send an award or e-card on the recognition site: http://recognition.med.umich.edu
You are also invited to join the next SRG meeting on Monday, Dec. 21, at 10 am.
