SIERRA VISTA — Two local employees of a home health care provider will be featured on a nationally televised reality series Sunday night after the owners of the company worked secretly beside them earlier this year.
Each week, “Undercover Boss” features the executives of companies working incognito beside their employees to gain a better appreciation for the impact the decisions they make have on others, and “get a up-close look at both the good and the bad while discovering the unsung heroes who make their companies run,” according to the show’s website.
Sunday’s show will follow Shelly and J.D. Sun, the wife and husband co-founders of BrightStar Care, as they work with two employees of the franchise in Sierra Vista.
The format of the show necessitates some degree of secrecy, said Michelle Nock, co-owner of the local BrightStar franchise.
When Shelly Sun began contacting BrightStar locations to film the episode, “she said they were doing a documentary on home care,” Nock said.
The show’s network, CBS, then sent a small camera crew to a select number of franchise locations to conduct interviews with employees to determine who to feature on the program.
Three caregivers in Sierra Vista were selected to participate, though the version of the episode set to air Sunday will only feature two, she said.
At the end of each show, each participating employee is presented with a special prize or gift inspired by their time with the executives.
After the Sun’s arrived, the discreetness continued with the local employees being told they were to show them how to perform their typical duties, and that later they would be given the chance to try out the Sun’s jobs, which were never specified to them.
“They were told that it was a reality show that swapped jobs,” Nock said.
Filmed over two days in February, the show will take place at locations including Fort Huachuca, where the employees help the family of a deployed soldier with quadruplets, and at the Mountain View Gardens retirement living community, she said.
“Undercover Boss” is scheduled to air Sunday, April 17, at 8 p.m. on CBS.
Alright! Gotta watch it tomorrow night!
..... along with a Pink Slip for making the fake newbie clean all the bedpans and for griping about "that idiot CEO who runs this place".
