Why do staff use their phones at work?
Have you seen the staff using their phones at work?
Don’t worry… they are working!
Menno Place has been moving away from paper and toward electronic work tasks, care tasks and recording of information. This means that many of the care staff, laundry team, maintenance workers and others carry a phone with them that tells them their tasks for the day.
This has resulted in an increased level of efficiency and quality of work. The care staff will be using new software with phones to easily access resident’s care needs and provide the care they need with accuracy, ease and clarity.
If you see someone using their phone at work, be assured, they are probably working!
If you have any questions or concerns, please ask a nurse or receptionist. They will be able to answer your questions or guide you to the person who can!
