title: How about a lollipop? A peer recognition program.
abstract: A staff recognition program produces a chain reaction. Receiving the award increases self-esteem and social gratification. Giving the award fosters autonomy and leadership qualities. Through staff participation and recognition, morale and job satisfaction increase, which in turn raises the quality of patient care.
