Every claim counts — prevention protects everyone.

When an injury happens, the impact goes beyond the individual. WorkSafeBC claims affect staffing levels, morale, and even funding that supports programs and care delivery.

Here’s what happens when we reduce claims:

• We keep premiums lower, meaning more resources for staff wellness and equipment.
• We maintain consistent care for residents and clients.
• We protect our reputation as a safe, supportive employer.

Here’s what you can do:

• Work safely every day, follow policies and use equipment correctly.
• Support coworkers who return to modified duties.
• Keep communication open,  ask for training if you’re unsure.
• Be proactive: prevention is the best cost savings strategy.

Let’s make every shift count:  for ourselves, our residents, and our community.

Re: Submission of Second and Subsequent Vacation Choices

Menno Home, Hospital and Apartments staff,

This is a friendly reminder that all second subsequent vacation requests must be submitted by December 1, 2025. This includes ALL remaining vacation hours with the exception of 5 days.

Only a maximum of (5) days may be left unscheduled, BUT must be booked by August 1, 2026 (if not, Staffing will assign, and no changes will be made).

If the Staffing Department does not receive your second and subsequent vacation requests, they will randomly assign vacation dates.
