Provide an Escape from Holiday Fatigue 

Though work has its own stressors, it can also be an escape from the demands of the holiday season. No family can argue obligations with a medical professional who’s due for a shift at the hospital! 

Regardless of the source of your employee’s fatigue, there’s only so much you can do to help. Their place of employment can either generate stress or provide an escape from it. 

Here are some tips to cultivate an escape from the “holicraze”:  

Do Away with Gift Giving

Mandated inter-office gift exchanges are an unnecessary source of stress for most people who have to participate. You can’t stop the holiday enthusiast from giving to who they want, but you don’t have to require everybody do the same. Voluntarily given gifts are far more appreciated and in-line with the holiday spirit anyways. 

The last thing the stressed-out family person needs is more presents to budget and buy for. Making it more difficult is the time that this project requires. Buying a gift, especially for someone you don’t know well, is tricky and thought-involved. 

Encourage Conversation with Patients

Encouraging your employees to engage more deeply with their patients about their holiday stressors, histories, or traditions is beneficial. It will do two things: boost patient morale and lessen the stress of your workers. 

Patients will benefit from knowing that they’re not invisible in your hospital’s system. A daily conversation with an employee beyond their medical treatments or status will infuse spirit where it’s needed. 

Your employees can alleviate holiday stress by talking about them with somebody who might be interested. Having conversations about what they’re going through, even if in passing, will add some positive perspective. 

Prevent Illness

Before the rush, make sure sanitizing stations are full and clean-handling procedures are reviewed. Nothing takes the wind out of an already ragged sail like a bad cold. Not only will sickness be personally detrimental, but it could also present a danger to your patients. 

Ensure Employee Comfort and Safety

High-quality uniforms and materials that protect and comfort can make the difference between a pleasant and stressful shift. Your employees should have properly fitting, water-resistant scrubs, coats, and uniforms for any possible job. The best way to ensure your supply of comfortable, safe uniforms is to rent them from a reliable, service-oriented provider.

The thing is, all of that only works if you’re working with a medical linen service company that fulfills their promises. Plenty of medical linen providers make claims that they can’t follow through on just to sign a new client, then leave them to suffer from poor customer service, missed or incorrect deliveries, and low-quality products.

At Medico, we place a high value on providing excellent services. We wouldn’t have succeeded in this business for more than 80 years if we weren’t meeting and exceeding our client’s expectations. We call it the Medico Difference. Here’s what that means:

1. Textile Excellence

Medical linens and uniforms need to be tough and durable – able to withstand the intense washing and disinfecting process that is needed to fully remove all blood, bodily fluids and bacteria. That’s why we only provide high-quality products for rental. We use high-performance fabrics and sturdy construction to ensure that you get the most out of each lab coat, sheet, and towel. Your uniforms and linens will last longer and hold up better throughout the day when you rent from Medico Professional Linen Service. 

2. Efficient Services

Your medical facility runs on a tight schedule, so your linens should also. Without a linen service company that delivers and picks up your linens and uniforms when they say they will, you could be left without crucial items on any given day. In the medical industry, that’s simply unacceptable. 

At Medico, we work hard to provide your facility with all of the items you need in a timely manner. After all, the point of a medical linen service is to remove stress and responsibility, not add to it.

3. Responsiveness

Finally, responsive customer service is integral to the Medico Difference. It might sound overly simple and even old fashioned, but we value a tradition of honest and sincere customer service. Our customers return to experience the customer care that we provide. Honest communication is the foundation of any good partnership. Whenever you have an issue with our customer service or even just a question about the way we do things, just pick up the phone and call us! We will always do our best to resolve your concerns as quickly as possible.
