Recognition Programs

Recognize and reward those who set and maintain the highest standards of excellence. -The BAYADA Way
BAYADA Home Health Care believes that our employees are our greatest asset. As such, many companywide recognition and reward programs have been developed to show our gratitude for the compassion, excellence, and reliability of our dedicated employees.

Hero on the Home Front program

Something extraordinary is happening at BAYADA, and we want to honor those who make it happen each day. We set high standards for our employees, and those who unselfishly meet or exceed our ideals are heroes to the clients they serve. Our Hero on the Home Front program is designed to honor our Heroes and provide them with the recognition they deserve. We recognize employees at the office, division, and national level.

Ann has served as a director of BAYADA Home Health Care for over twenty years; she is a true role model who is committed to excellence, especially in the area of clinical leadership development.

The award celebrates and acknowledges a clinical leader who exemplifies Ann's legacy to empower, inspire, and support those whose lives they touch at BAYADA, and embodies our core values of compassion, excellence, and reliability.

BAYADA Bucks Program

At BAYADA, we are constantly creating new and exciting ways to recognize and reward our field employees for the meaningful work they do. Bucks are vouchers that can be redeemed though our BAYADA Bucks catalog for items such as Tiffany & Co. jewelry, GPS devices, digital cameras, designer handbags, BAYADA branded apparel and much, much more.

Employees receive BAYADA Bucks, for example, in recognition of perfect attendance, call-out coverage, employee referrals, Office Hero nominations, years of service awards, completion of high-tech skills courses, or for receiving special praise from a client. View the BAYADA Bucks catalog.
