Radiology Idea Guides

October 5, 2012 | By Christie Skelly

Place an “Radiologic Technologists: See The Inner You” wallet with key ring and other items in boxes of various sizes. Have your radiology staff draw numbers. Let Number 1 select and unwrap a gift first. Give Number 2 the option of taking that gift or selecting a new one. (Anyone whose gift is taken gets to choose another box to open.) Number 3 can take a gift from 1 or 2, or pick a wrapped one, and so forth.

Add a challenge to your next drawing. Start with tickets from the Radiology R affle Pack. Hide some of them in your facility, using the “Keep This Coupon” part of each pair. Put the “Ticket” parts in a container. Invite staff members to look for the hidden tickets. Repeat this every day for a week. Then draw tickets out of your container. Award raffle pack prizes to the people with the matching numbers.

Order “10 Reasons Radiology Is The Eyes Of Medicine” T-Shirts for all of your staff. Then plan a special recognition luncheon. Hand out invitations and distribute the T-Shirts at the same time. Let everyone know the “ticket” to get into the event is wearing the shirt that day. Place stars on the underneath side of a few of the luncheon chairs. Surprise whoever sits in the specially marked chairs with Full-Zip Fleece Jackets.

Remember the Earth when you plan a radiology appreciation banquet. Save paper by sending emailed invitations instead of printed ones and in them tell your guests, “You Have Made A World Of Difference To Our Patients.” For tablecloths, use brown paper that is recyclable. Feature as centerpieces trees, shrubs, and other greenery still in pots that eventually can be planted in the ground. Send everyone home with “Think Green” Eco-Friendly Gift Sets.

Reward hard work all throughout the year. Stock up on gifts from this catalog as well as an On The Spot Recognition Starter Kit. Whenever you see a staff member going above and beyond for a patient or to make your facility a better place, present a button and a token from the kit. Let employees exchange two tokens for the kit’s pens or wristbands. Also give them the option of saving up their tokens for larger gifts.
