Hello team!
Here’s your weekly update—grab a coffee and enjoy the read!
Sweatshirt Update
We want to start off
to address the Sweatshirt Order. We
would like to apologize for the quick decision to remove the Seven Sundays logo
from the recent sweatshirt order. In hindsight, we recognize that we should
have paused and consulted staff on whether to proceed without the logo or
cancel the order entirely.
The initial sweatshirt order occurred before the social media
incident, and the second order was placed shortly afterward. The decision to
remove the logo was made in an effort to distance our organization from the
situation.
We did not anticipate that the teddy bear design would also
be removed. Going forward, we will aim to be more thoughtful in both our
decision-making process and in selecting branding for staff apparel.
We sincerely apologize for any frustration or disappointment
this caused💛
Cybersecurity Reminder
A quick nudge to keep everyone on track:
- If
someone missed the training, have them email SHADigitalHealth@saskhealthauthority.ca
and the team will help get things sorted.
- If you
haven’t completed your module yet, keep an eye out for an email from noreply@terranova.com
(sent to your work email). That’s your access point—give your inbox (and
maybe junk folder) a quick search and get it done!
ICRA Protocol
Update
The ICRA protocol is now live on the unit—great work
everyone!
- Check
out the huddle board and blog for details.
- If you
haven’t completed the eLearning yet, please do so as soon as you can.
You’ll now find a purple folder in each EPP box,
complete with all the tools you need (sleeves, indicators, and forms). If
supplies run low, just give the UA team a heads-up so they can restock.
PPE Cart Refresh
A small but important change: PPE cart tops should now stay
clear, with only wipes and hand sanitizer on top. This applies both inside
rooms and when carts come out of droplet/contact+ rooms. Let’s give it a try
and keep things streamlined!
Staff Safety
Survey (2026–27) 2026 2027
Annual Staff Safety Survey
Deadline: May 8
Your voice matters! This short survey is all about your day-to-day experience
and how safe and supported you feel at work.
Your feedback will directly shape future staff safety
priorities—so please take a few minutes to share your perspective. Every
response helps make our workplace better for everyone.
Payroll FYI
There have been a few questions about stat pay on Saturday April
4th. Here’s the scoop:
This will be an issue with the cut off for the pay period being at the same
time as the start of the Stat time on Sat. NX staff on the 4th will
see the after midnight stat hours on their next pay as it is applied to the 5th.
