“Med” Hatters

Put a new spin on “Casual Fridays” by asking employees to wear their favorite hats the Friday of National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week. If you want, give the day a theme, such as Las Vegas, and ask everyone to wear a hat associated with it. At the end of the day, put staff members names into a hat and give those whose names are pulled an item from the 5-Piece Raffle Prize Pack. Then have everyone who wore a hat feel like a winner by providing each with a “Lab Professionals Are Smarties” Treat Pack.

Make Your Selection

Use National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week as a time to have a little fun with your staff. Come up with five random categories such as “Person Most Likely To Become A Hermit” or “Individual Most Likely To Marry A Millionaire”–one for each day of the special week. Print the categories on a worksheet in advance. Then ask staff members to write down the top three employees for each category. When employees have made their selections, tally up the results and create a certificate for each category’s top winner. Present one certificate each day of the week, along with a “Behind Every Great Lab Is A Great Team” Embroidered Hooded Zipper Sweatshirt. Pass out “Behind Every Great Lab Is A Great Team”
T-Shirts to all other staff members.

Show Off

Every person has a special skill, be it magic tricks or playing guitar. Let National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week provide an opportunity for employees to share their talents. Inform everyone that you’re organizing an event during the week. Create a “stage” at your facility, and give each person a short amount of time to perform. Allow observers to vote on their favorite act. Present the winner with a “Behind Every Great Lab Is A Great Team” Deluxe Duffel Bag & Water Bottle Gift Set. Give every participant a “Behind Every Great Lab Is A Great Team” 3-Piece Stationery Set.

The Best Medicine

April is also National Humor Month. Lighten the mood by inviting a comedian to poke warm-hearted fun at your profession. Or challenge staff to come up with work-related jokes of their own. Inspire them with “10 Reasons Why I Love Being A Medical Laboratory Professional” Clipboards or Mouse Pads.

Safety First

One can never underestimate the importance of safe practices in the lab. As part of your National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week observances, hold a special meeting on safety. Use it as a time to reinforce proper procedures for your staff. At the beginning of the meeting, pass out Deluxe Padfolios that your medical laboratory professionals can take notes in. Also give them a “Behind Every Great Lab Is A Great Team” Lapel Pin With Presentation Card to show their professional pride.

“Tote”-ally Rewarding

If work is busy and there’s little time to acknowledge National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, plan a quick way to recognize the efforts of your employees. Give each person a “Behind Every Great Lab Is A Great Team” Tote Bag Gift Set. Or personalize our Double Pocket Tote Bags and put your own goodies in them. Healthy snacks, office supplies, scented candles and chocolates make great tote stuffers!
