Accountability & appreciation · Nail & Scale Your Home Care

Accountability & appreciation

Last week was intense. We had more starts of care than any other week in the history of my company (all one year of it 😅). On top of that, we held our bi-annual training, pushing my team into overdrive.

My accounting manager was overwhelmed, too, and I had to coach her through some challenges and teach her what a healthy way communication is between managers and clients.

But despite the pressure, we never felt beaten down—because accountability and support went hand in hand. I stayed close to my team, holding them to high standards while ensuring they had the support to push through.
