Guest guest Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Maureen - We have a 45 minute staff meeting every month and all staff are expected to attend, however, we also have part-time staff who are not always available. We type detailed minutes of the meeting in the " pillars " format (Service Excellence, Clinical Excellence, People, Growth, Finance) and these minutes are emailed to every staff member and a hard-copy is placed in a binder located in the staff offices. We have an accountability in the Professional Growth section of the annual performance appraisal that addresses " Takes responsibility for content presented at all staff meetings and applies information to daily activities as directed. " Staff understand the expectation that they are responsible for knowing and applying staff meeting information whether they are present at the meeting or not. This eliminates the cop-out response - " I wasn't at the staff meeting so I didn't know.................

I struggle with this due to many part-time staff. It seems that we don’t have them often enough because not everyone is ever in the office together. How do you deal with this hurdle? Thanks much, as always! Maureen =================================== *Maureen Whitney* *Business Manager* Essex Physical Therapy Essex, Vermont maureen@...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 We as well have minutes in a binder available to all staff not present, it is the staff responsibility to update themselves with what is going on, if there is anything really requiring immediate attention, we e-mail and leave notes in their mail box.
