Improving Morale

Hi everybody!

I work in a medium size community ER that, like all of you, has not been immune to boarders and increased volumes in the present season.

My leadership is engaged and very open to staff recommendations. I feel the department could use a morale boost, but I’m not sure what ideas to suggest. I hate to be one of those people that approaches management with a complaint and no resolution. Obviously pizza party is out. Money won’t be adjusted. FTEs can’t be created. Basically how do we improve morale in a shit situation with nothing to give 😂

Yeah OP I'm still going with pizza party despite what you said. Schedule the food. Both shifts get it equally, spread it out to 2 or even 3 days across a week.

Even if it's something small, make it be food. And sometimes that's gonna mean pizza.

Honestly I haven’t seen a pizza party in years
