1. Spotlight your technicians. "Last year, we put technician's pictures on our monthly client education board in our lobby," Allen says.
2 . Throw a party. During their weekly staff meeting, Allen says the team recognized their technicians with a cake and cards for all of the technicians that everyone signed.
3 . Give a gift. Olathe Animal Hospital has rewarded technicians with gift certificates to restaurants and stores.
"We try to acknowledge the wonderful work they do and let them know how much we appreciate them," Allen says.
