Resources for Faculty & Staff
Employee Recognition
Employee recognition can be given in many ways—through saying thank you, giving praise, providing opportunity, or showing respect. Many studies on the work place have shown that being recognized for achievements, knowing that one's contributions matter to the organization, and the opportunity for growth and professional development have a considerable impact on employee satisfaction and commitment.
The Leadership, Community and Values Initiative (LCVI), in partnership with UW Human Resources, provides resources for managers to create and sustain meaningful employee recognition programs.

Recognition is most effective when it takes place on a regular basis and in a variety of different ways. It is also important that recognition activities be aligned with the culture of your unit or department. The Employee Recognition Program provides you different opportunities for acknowledging staff members, peers and colleagues.
