Last year on Pink Shirt day staff and physicians joined together for a ‘Respect Starts Here’ movement to celebrate how far we’ve come in taking a stand against bullying in the workplace.

Win shirts and a party for your team

February 24, 2016 is Pink Shirt Day and the theme is “Team Respect.”  Work with your team and manager/supervisor to submit a team respect statement for a chance to win a pink pop-up party (team celebration) and 2016 VCH pink shirts! Your team’s respect statement could be selected to appear on this year’s shirts!

What’s a team respect statement?

Examples:

• To the [name of your team] respect means that we acknowledge when another person contributes to our work.
• To the [name of your team], respect means that we show up on time to scheduled meetings.

Enter soon; deadline is January 18!

1. Talk to your teammates and manager/supervisor about what respect means on your team.
2. Ask your manager/supervisor to submit your team’s respect statement contest entry form by January 18, 2016.
