onitoring hand hygiene compliance need not be a bore
of a chore. No, you can make it fun. I gave our man-
agers "Presidio Police" badges and water guns filled
with alcohol gel so they can "shoot" (more like "squirt") staff
members who fail to practice proper hand hygiene. Managers
shout, "Caught red-handed" or "Hand hygiene police" before
pulling the trigger.
