Do not nominate individual supervisors or managers who are doing a good job in performance management. Be sure your nomination addresses each of the award criteria specifically. While nominations must show the alignment of the nominated program with strategic goals and objectives, this award recognizes effective employee performance management. Nominations that focus only on organizational performance measurement and fail to show a substantial link to the appraisal or recognition of employees will fail to meet the award criteria. Please consider carefully the volume of attachments to your nomination.
Voluminous material can be a distraction to the panel of reviewers.
Examples of extraneous materials might be long department or agencywide strategic plans, extensive organization charts, etc. Do include attachments that will focus reviewers on the key award criteria. Although voluminous material can be distracting, be sure to include enough information to permit reviewers to assess the nominations. It is not enough to complete only the nomination form. If your nomination, along with attachments, is more than 20 pages long, please submit 6 copies.
