peopleCare in Tavistock were the big winners of the Ontario Long Term Care Quality Improvement Recognition Awards. The home took Workplace of the Year honors, after beating out a significant number of entries based on a wellness plan developed by staff which helped several staff members quit smoking and lose a substantial amount of weight. peopleCare's Chief Operating Officer, Elaine Shantz says she couldn't be happier for her employees. "It is a program that is being rolled out to all of the peopleCare homes and in fact, through the Ontario Long Term Care Association, because it has been recognized as the Quality Workplace of the Year, it will also be written up and presented to other workplaces." Shantz says the idea for the wellness plan really came from a group of employees who wanted to make a change. "Our employees need to be taken care of and if they're happy and healthy then they will provide that exceptional care and this team really recognized that and embraced that value and moved forward with it." According to the Ontario Long Term Care Association the award is given out to the member homes that excel in physical, environmental and occupational health and safety for a transformative organizational change.
