The Ceca Award: A Caregiver Recognition Solution
The Importance of Recognizing Your Teams
Burnout and turnover have long been a challenge for healthcare organizations. But motivating and retaining your team members is about more than providing competitive compensation—it’s about honoring and appreciating them.
The Ceca Award program is a comprehensive and customizable recognition solution for healthcare communities. Ceca provides its partners with an innovative online platform and managed program services that allow organizations to leverage the power of recognition and achieve their quality of care and patient experience objectives.
Centered around the idea that positive reinforcement and engaged employees are imperative to improving the human experience in healthcare, organizations can partner with Ceca to honor the work of their exceptional team members.
The Ceca Award platform is comprised of technology and tools that make it easy to share experiences and stories about extraordinary caregivers, and to celebrate these acts of care, anytime, anywhere.
It is unique in that:

Our recognition model is essential to the success of the healthcare organizations we partner with, and has proven effective at increasing employee engagement, reducing turnover, and improving quality of care. The more engaged your employees are, the more satisfied your patients will be–which ultimately affects your bottom line. And recognizing your employees the right way is one of the best ways to get them more engaged.
How It Works
A team member, patient/resident, family member or guest who is moved to recognize a caregiver visits the Ceca Award site or mobile app.
They write a short story about the caregiver they wish to recognize, explaining the act of care they received or witnessed.
They click a button to submit, and the recognition is shared both publicly and with the caregiver!
All caregivers recognized through the platform are eligible to receive their community’s Ceca Award, which includes a $250 monetary prize and public recognition during an award ceremony and on CecaTV digital signage.
