Minneapolis, MN -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/28/2016 -- ImageFIRST, the healthcare laundry specialists who provide bed supplies, uniforms, patient gowns and other products and services to St. Paul, MN, medical facilities (as well as facilities across the nation) puts their associates first. In order to fulfill the ImageFIRST Purpose - "to build a great company by positively impacting the lives of [their] associates, [their] community, [their] customers and [their] patients" - ImageFIRST embeds the expression of gratitude for associates in their daily operations.
One example of this expression of gratitude is the "Think Positive" game, played weekly by the ImageFIRST Ft. Myers production staff. Designed by the ImageFIRST Ft. Myers office manager, Wendy, the "Think Positive" game consists of team members writing one positive thing about a chosen associate.
Once the notes are gathered, the chosen associate for the week reads them, and writes a response to their team members, which is then read aloud. One recent associate wrote, "I'm so happy to work with you guys. Not only do I have awesome coworkers but a family. You guys are the best team ever. I love you guys."
In addition to the "Think Positive" game at ImageFIRST Ft. Myers, ImageFIRST locations nationwide regularly participate in activities and programs designed to express appreciation for associates. Associates are encouraged to recognize their colleagues on an ongoing basis by filling out "Leading the Way" cards that take note of exceptional efforts.
Once a year, ImageFIRST leadership team members nominate exceptional associates, about eighty of whom receive the ImageFIRST All Star Award. The top All Star winners are invited to the Council of Excellence, which includes attendance at the annual Pinnacle Trip.
Those interested in becoming an associate at the leading medical uniform supplier in St. Paul, MN, are invited to visit the ImageFIRST Careers page to learn more about open positions and benefits.
