It’s not uncommon for staff members in one department to believe they do more or matter more than their colleagues who work in other areas of the facility. That’s why Joyce Parhiala, RN, our facility’s nurse manager, came up with the neat idea to have staff from various departments — registration, pre-op, the OR, sterile processing and the PACU — produce skits that demonstrate what they do on a daily basis. Department managers coached their teams on what to cover in the skits and helped their teams rehearse before they performed in front of the entire staff.
After our facility-wide skits were performed, we noticed staff gained an appreciation for their hardworking colleagues and the entire team formed a closer bond. They socialize more after work, and genuinely seem to appreciate working together.
