Winning Attitudes

Show dietary service staff you think they’re number one! Kick off National Healthcare Food Service Week with a food service “pep rally.” Hang a banner that says, “(Your Facility’s Name) Thinks You’re #1!!!” (Have nonfood staff members sign it the week before.) Begin the pep rally by playing Gary Glitter’s “Rock And Roll (Parts 1 & 2),” also known as the “Hey!” song that is commonly heard at sporting events. Distribute “Food And Nutrition Services: Excellence Is Our First Ingredient” Apron & T-Shirt Combos to all of your employees as well as “Food And Nutrition Services: Excellence Is Our First Ingredient” Badge Holders. Encourage them to wear these items to show their food service pride!
