Recognition Policies/Resources

We recognize staff with several awards and recognition events throughout the year. Consider nominating a deserving colleague for one or more of the awards listed below. Recognize them for their exceptional contributions, their commitment to the ASPIRE values, and for collaborating with others across departments, units, or schools.

Recognizing and rewarding your team is important for employee engagement. Engaged employees are happier, more productive, and committed to their organization. Review Manager Toolkits and recognition policies for tips and guidance for low and no cost ideas for rewarding your team.
