Maintenance Recognition After a REAC Inspection

Now that your REAC inspection has been completed and you breathe a sigh of relief, how do you go about recognizing the job well done by your maintenance team? Many times we’re so flustered and then relieved that we forget about the people who have served us well, especially if our rating was over 90.

Here are some ways that you might want to recognize your maintenance team:

Tell them that you appreciate all their efforts, and note some specific things they did well.

1. Say “thank you” when they’ve done a good job.
2. Bring donuts to the maintenance team the next morning.
3. Provide a gift card to a local eatery or coffee place.
4. Bring in lunch (their favorite).
5. Recognize their efforts in the community newsletter.
6. Give them an hour off early with pay.
7. Provide them with business cards of their own.
8. Write a letter of appreciation and place it in their files, along with a copy to them.
9. You know your team – now it’s your turn to think of something great.
