Re: Change to Scanning In / Shift Reporting Process
Earlier this fall your People and Culture Team (P&C) shared that, for consistent practice with Menno Hospital, Menno Home and Menno Apartments would be implementing face scanning for shift reporting.
Employees without a face scan were asked to schedule time with our P&C folks to enroll in, and learn how to use, the face scanning machine.
1. What is the current status?
Currently, the majority of Employees are enrolled in, and successfully using, the face scanners located in Menno Hospital, Home, and Apartments. Thank you everyone!
2. What is the next step?
The hand scanners will be removed from Menno Home and Apartments on Monday December 18, 2023.
3. How does this affect Employees?
If you have not yet had a face scan completed, you must do so before 16h00 Friday December 16. Please contact Jessy Manhas at jessy.manhas@mennplace.ca or extension 2230 to schedule an appointment. A member of our Team will be happy to enroll you at the P&C office located in Menno Hospital.
4. What will happen if my face scan doesn’t work, or if I miss my opportunity to enroll?
Missed scan forms will remain available for exceptional use. These will be available for pick up from the Menno Home/Apartments and Menno Hospital Staffing Office(s) to avoid clutter at the scanning stations.
Employees will remain able to enroll in face scanning on a scheduled basis by contacting your P&C Team.
Thank you everyone for your support! Post-implementation feedback is most welcome!
All staff are invited to join us for a sit down, come and go turkey feast (& prizes!) to celebrate the season. The party will be in the Menno Hospital Chapel on Thursday, December 14th.
