Staff Memo #1 16-03-23

A NEW GUIDE TO WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN ON YOUR SHIFT

All employees,

We are now going to formally incorporate our Lifestyle Calendars into our electronic roster system.

This will be a simple process that we will slowly build on.

We will start with the clients who attend our music sessions.

The sessions are:

Music:

o   10.30 am to 11.30 pm – Wednesday – Wynyard Yacht Club
o   10.30 am to 11.30 pm – Thursday – Eastside Studios 

Music:
o   12.30 pm to 1.30 pm – Thursday – Wynyard Yacht Club
o   12.30 pm to 1.30 pm – Thursday – Eastside Studios

Support Workers will find, when they check their rosters on the electronic system, that the lifestyle activities for each client will start appearing in the drop-down box in their shift.  This means that the activity is a compulsory shift task.

The codes you will see in the drop-down box are made up like the following example:

Client initials           Activity                      Location                   Time

TM                            Music                          WYC                          10.30-1.30

The code will look simply like this:

TM : Music : WYC : 10.30 : 1.30

As we add lifestyle activities and clients, I will create and notify all support workers of the codes.

Once entered progress will be audited by:

·      Checking Daily/Shift Reports to see if the client got to the activity
·      Checking with clients, Support Workers, and activity presenters on how the activity is goin
·      Management team members calling in on activities to see how they are going

So, please make sure the activity in the drop-down box in your roster shift happens and contact me if any problems occur.
