description: Everyone needs to feel that his or her efforts are appreciated. The Exemplar Employee award picks up where a paycheck and a "thank you" leave off. It targets direct care workers--the employees who leave their jobs most often. It tells workers who go beyond the call of duty, and stand out because of their caring and dedication, that they are appreciated without reservation. It also places them in a select group. Peers who are also exemplars elect the new exemplars, bestow them with a ring, and invite them to continue to be role models for others. Art Dykstra and Deborah Gustafson explain the nomination process, how to inform employees, and the costs and benefits of an exemplar program.
