Respect Care

**** COPY OF OUR HR AND OPERATIONS LINKEDIN POST****

Joining the care industry nearly 7 years ago was a big move for me, I did not know a huge amount about what went into "care" in the community or within Care Homes, the 7 years I have spent within the sector has taught me so much, I left momentarily but I realised it was part of me now. I liked caring for people, providing a safe space for people to work and also to live yet I still remain speechless about the recent events reported by the Guardian.

The majority of care providers try endlessly, everyday to ensure that those we provide care to, are safe, happy and protected from any form of abuse- behavior like this needs to be taken more seriously. I understand that there *may* be criminal charges, but two carers have just simply resigned and to date have walked away, with the only penalty being they are unable to work for the same agency, one has been dismissed and one has been "re-trained" and allowed back to work.

Utterly shocking. In these circumstances, from a care and a HR perspective, I am a firm believer that a harsher penalty should be issued. Heartbreaking. Do you agree?

After recently appointing a new Coordinator, Chris, who has is a qualified Personal Trainer, we wanted to incorporate his outside interests into the workplace and help get our employees more active and fitter.

We have a very active side of the workforce- those in the community moving constantly day in, day out to different Service users homes however for those based in the office who spend many of our days based at desks and looking at a computer screen, we wanted to encourage this “get moving initiative” to both the physical and mental well-being of the team.

Currently 6 of our staff members are on an 8-week plan training with Chris twice a week before work, to set them up for the day ahead and then Chris has been setting some “homework”. There has been a mixture of high intensity workouts, boxing, running and yoga helping to get those endorphins released.

As an incentive the Company has sponsored this initial 8-week period and the craze seems to be contagious as many other members of the team who have witness the workouts and the positive energy post workout, want to sign up for the “January Jumpstart challenge”. This challenge will be aiming to jumpstart our employees into the new year with a new outlook and work towards our team building event in April 2020- Rough Runner.

In line with our sister company Axela Innovations, the 6 staff currently on the 8-week plan have been given a Fit-Bit and agreed for their data to be used to assist with the development of cAir ID, our very own app. cAir:ID is a smart, real time system that assists professional health and medical care providers in understanding, managing and caring for the individual. It allows monitoring and real time health and fitness data to be viewed in one place and benchmarked against whats normal for you, giving helpful information and support to manage and conditions you might have - Find out more about cAir:ID here

Our HR and Operations Director who is taking part in the challenge said:
“I have recently returned from maternity leave and this fitness challenge at work was the kick start I needed. As we are doing our workouts before work, I am motivated to get in earlier and get ready for the day ahead which is usually back to back, so having that 45 minutes of “me” time is so important to me. Chris has been so supportive of all our needs and goals and has really encouraged us all to give this challenge 100%. Having the Directors back us and even take part has also been really motivating for the staff.”

Axela and Respect Care do Cupcake Day 2019 in order to raise money for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Our staff baked or purchased, and we raised £300.

The fight against dementia is an important one as this is the most significant cause of death among people who live in England and Wales. Unfortunately, no cure for dementia has been discovered yet and research continues, while the large number of people who suffer from this disease means that the cost of care is very high. Since 2016 Cupcake day has raised £2.7million pounds and we are proud that today we were able to contribute again. Well done and thank you to all who took part.

Kat, our HR advisor said “We tried to liven up the bake sale today, so we were split into teams and some went to each business around our business complex and some went out on the high street. Despite the rain it was a success, some passers-by even asked if they were from the famous “Lola’s cupcakes” however we were proud to say they were homemade. Some team members were even approached by salons and shops when walking along the High street as they could see the cupcakes and asked us to pop inside to see their staff. People donated generously especially given the cause it was for and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.”
