This weekend, my oldest son tested for and received his Yellow Belt in Karate. We are all so proud of him. I was listening to his sensei tell the class "put your old belt behind you because we never go back. We only go forward."
This weekend was also the Army:Navy Football Game. Being part of a family with 2 West Point Football player graduates means that the Army Navy Football game is a mandatory watch even if you could care less about Football. I was looking at my cousin Tom's Facebook page and noticed that he has Major posted as his rank in the Army. Yep, Navy won again, but we never give up hope.
These ranking systems got me thinking. Ranking systems are really cool things.
1) It lets everyone know what your skills are
2) It lets everyone how much training you've had
3) It gives you humility (there's always someone above you)
4) It gives you something to work towards
5) It reminds you where you came from
So as I read Facebook and see several of my work-mates complain about caregivers who have called in sick, I wonder if a Caregiver Ranking would help caregivers understand the professional nature of our job. I wonder if it would help me to hire higher quality caregivers. So, what ranking system do we use?
Lord of the Rings Ranking
Start with ranking of Hobbit and move up towards Wizard? I would so be working to being known as Mack the Wizard.
Harry Potter Ranking
Start at Muggle. Then each new ranking is a different Spell. Once you learn a little bit, you can become Wingardium Leviosa. The higher ranks would be spells that are 3 sentences long and take longer to pronounce than your name.
Twilight Ranking
This would be a short ranking series. Human - HTKAC (Humans That Know About Creatures) - Werewolves - Vampires - VV (Vegetarian Vampires) - Dhampir - Volturi. There can only be 3 Volturi at a time, so to become a Volturi, you have to wait for 1 to retire?
What rankings would you use for caregivers? Would a ranking system work?
