Fully Vaccinated Staff – Get your name badge

If you have received a 2x sticker showing you can remove mask and goggles, you can now get a permanent name badge that indicates your FULLY vaccinated status! Wipeable and ready for each shift!

Here is what your name badge will look like when you put it together:

If you have already received a large 2x sticker, you can bring your name badge to Reception Home, Reception Hospital or Terrace East Reception to get the smaller version with your name on it.

Once you get your smaller 2x name-sticker, here is what you do:

1. Separate the clear plastic front of the name badge from the back
2. Take out your current name badge. Keep it.
3. Use the plain white side to stick the green sticker with your name. You’ll need to flip it back when this stage of COVID re-start is over.
4. Snap your name badge back together.
5. Put your name badge on! Wear it at all times.
6. That was easy!

Wear your nametag in a visible location at all times – why?

1. It helps the residents know who you are – it personalizes their experience here. Hearing your name is one way to provide name-recognition. Reading your name reinforces name-recognition.
2. It signals family members and visitors that you are more than a “worker” – that you are a person who loves and cares for their loved ones. There are numerous times that we have asked families to provide special recognition to the caregivers at Menno Place and they had to resort to describing you by your features and where/when you work. They didn’t know your name and were too embarrassed to ask you, even to give you kudos for a job well done.
3. It shows residents, co-workers and visitors that you are fully vaccinated. This gives us all confidence that Menno Place continues to uphold the highest safety standards.
4. It helps your co-workers know who you are. Our names are personal identifiers that remind others that we are a PERSON. We matter. Having your nametag on gives others confidence to refer to you by name, which promotes belonging and inclusion. As we continue to grow in diversity, it gives people confidence to hear names pronounced that are not from their culture and makes diversity in our workplace normative.
5. Acknowledging individuals for who they are is the MENNO WAY! We are all about caring for individuals and co-workers with compassion, with interest and with personalization.
6. Have you ever had someone forget your name? What if they do it more than once? Have you ever wondered why it is so offensive to you? It’s because forgetting your name signals to you that you are less important and less valued. If we all wear our nametags, we can build the confidence to use each other’s names, and show each other that we are all important and valued.

What do I do if I lose or forget my 2x name badge that shows I’m fully vaccinated? For a short while, we’ll have stickers that you can use for a shift. After those are gone, you’ll need to don your mask and goggles for your shift. If you lose your 2x name badge, you’ll need to purchase another one ($10). Going without a mask or goggles without displaying your 2x sticker/name badge is disciplinary. Sharing a name badge or 2x sticker may also be disciplined.

Below, you can watch a video of Carissa showing you how to put your nametag together with your 2x sticker.

What do you do if you don’t have the name badge? Fill out the form (to the right). In the meantime, please continue to wear your 2x sticker. You can put it on your ID badge, keeping your face visible. This is a temporary solution. We will try to get you a name badge as soon as we can.
