The mission of the Employee Appreciation Program is to acknowledge the importance of county employees to the organization's success and to give employees the tools needed to promote that success. The Committee holds monthly meetings to discuss functions which can be held for employees and, on a semi-annual basis, votes on the nominations received in the previous six months. Appreciation awards are presented to the recipients at the Annual Dinner Dance which is held every Spring. The other annual function held is the Employee Appreciation Picnic which is held during the summer. In between, the Committee may plan and hold various functions to give employees and their families a means to gather and socialize with fellow County employees from all departments.
All employees are eligible to submit nominations.
Any time a co-worker or fellow County employee performs an action which you feel deserves special recognition is the perfect opportunity for you to submit a nomination for that employee. Nomination forms are available from the Human Resources Department and completed nomination forms should be returned to the Human Resources Department in a sealed confidential envelope. When nominating someone for an award, please be as specific and include as much detail as possible. The Employee Appreciation Committee members vote on each individual nomination received and their votes are based on the content of the nomination form, not on the number of nominations one employee may receive. Therefore, the more information you include in your nomination stating the reason for the nomination will assist the Committee in their voting process.
