​Giving Staffing a Good Name

Like a Family? What Kind of Family?
 
Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing (and hiring) another therapy professional. This person is coming from an employer that, during the initial interview, told him/her they were like a family. And, after I heard his/her story I thought to myself, well it sounds like they are a dysfunctional family.
 
Want the details? Here they are in his/her own words to the best of my recollection.
 
"I always got a lot of recognition from my patients about how happy they were with me. I don’t want to be cocky, but my patients always had good things to say about me. After so many compliments, my employer would pass that recognition on to me and I would get acknowledged and rewarded. One day, we had an in-service that taught us (licensed people only – no techs were there) how to do transfers of bariatric patients and totally dependent patients by ourselves. One of the techniques even had a patient ‘s head pointed toward the floor so that the patient’s head would hit the floor first if the gate belt broke or had a malfunction. I said out loud that I would not be doing any transfers of totally dependent patients or bariatric patients by myself - and they wrote me up for that! I got an official write up just for speaking up for what I thought was right. In addition to that, I never again got any acknowledgment or rewards for patient satisfaction. I could see that place was not for me, and I resigned."
 
Well this got me to thinking. I guess all companies are like a family. However, the real issue is: what kind of family? From now on if I say “Stambush is a family or like a family," I will try to remember to stress we are a good or a great family. That’s because we take care of each other, and everyone is respected. Most importantly, we let truth, law, and ethics guide our decisions. I told my thoughts to the applicant and he/she said, “Yeah. I guess I should have dug deeper and found out just what kind of family they were."
 
While this story bothers me on one hand, it also makes me happy on the other hand. Why? Because, Stambush Staffing family, we just got another brother/sister/soldier on our side to help us show the world that a company can be successful without being bossy, mean, shallow, or unethical. Today Houston, tomorrow the world! (figuratively of course)
 
PS: I asked this person why he/she chose Stambush and this was what he/she said, “I’ve always heard Stambush has really good therapists. That’s what everybody says."
 
What Should Our Next Flyer Say?
 
It has been a while since we sent out a flyer. We have been pretty busy hiring people by word of mouth, and it seems we constantly rehire folks. Nevertheless, I do not want to leave one stone unturned when it comes to hiring competent, experienced, reliable, nice people. As much as I hate to admit it, other agencies probably have some therapists they do not deserve to have. You know, therapists whose competence, experience, reliability, and personality is more in line with our Stambush Family. Those are the people we need to bring in. Below are some ideas on what our next flyer should say, and I would like your input.
 
Could you copy/paste your top three (or fewer, if you like) favorites and send them back to me via e-mail? Thank you!
