All hospitals strive to provide their patients with the best care possible. Aside from hiring talented and intelligent doctors, hospitals look for staff that can empathize with the sick patient and their family and most importantly provide TLC, or some tender, loving, care. They look for this type of employee because they know that creating a warm and caring environment in the hospital can go a long way in helping the sick recover.
Moods are “infectious”. If someone smiles at you, you’ll feel better and pass that goodwill around as well. As such, it probably makes a lot of sense to ensure that all hospital staff, including maintenance staff and orderlies, are in excellent spirits.
For these employees, an honest day’s work involves pushing and pulling heavy linen and laundry carts, garbage carts, food carts, medical supply carts and more. There is a tremendous amount of physical strain that these employees need to bear and of course it can impact their mood. Additionally, all the pulling and pushing can cause staff charged with these tasks, significant back pain or even injury. This will definitely not bring a smile to their lips, and at best will produce sullen and unfriendly workers.
Imagine if they were not as tired or achy from all their strenuous labor. They would likely be more cheerful, sharing smiles and “hellos” with the doctors, nurses and patients they pass in the hallways. This will lift the mood in the hospital making everyone feel better.
