Departmental Recognition
Supervisors are encouraged to recognize employees for their achievements whether through day-to-day positive feedback or through more formalized means of recognition for a 'job-well-done,' as well as through the annual Performance Review process. HR Business Partners are available in the Office of Human Resources to assist supervisors in exploring methods of recognizing and rewarding employees.
