Staff Recognition Program
The greatest resource of any organization is its personnel. In Administration & Business Affairs (ABA), a division of over 400, establishing a sense of community is essential. ABA is committed to communication across the division whereby every employee's ideas are heard, and where common goals and values are shared.
Our Annual Event
ABA is committed to the full engagement of its staff and is proud to recognize those whose leadership, service, professionalism, and performance exemplify ABA's values and help the division and the University succeed. We also like to get together, socialize and give out prizes!
Started in 1995, the program was one of the University's first staff recognition efforts. In fall 2005, program enhancements included two new categories and a winter awards ceremony. The new Leadership and Valued Staff awards introduced a way for managers to recognize their peers and to appreciate the performance of staff within their own units and departments.
In 2006, ABA launched a staff peer award, with criteria recommended by ABA staff professionals. ABA managers and staff are continually making changes to improve the way we acknowledge the good work of employees.
In 2024, ABA revamped the recognition program and aligned it with the division's new Strategic Plan. This plan was formed with colleagues from across the division through thoughtful stakeholder discussion across campus, review of data collected, and formulation of goals and objectives. We look forward to sharing our updated plan soon!
