Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Carol Christ lauded the award winners at the noon-time ceremony for creating work environments that help staff juggle life's many demands. The creativity, sympathy and listening skills of these managers have enabled their staffs to fill both roles successfully. As award winners accepted their certificates, Kathleen Valerio, chair of the Excellence in Management Committee, read excerpts from their nomination letters. She added that employees who feel respected and cared for are loyal, committed and eager to give back to the workplace. According to La Dawn Duvall, BSA coordinator, the awards were developed to formally recognize the best managers and supervisors on campus.
Employees are often the best judges of what is considered an ideal working environment.
