As we start another academic year, we think it is a great time to recognize those hard working employees in your department!

Do you have an outstanding employee that deserves recognition? Perhaps you have a member of your staff that consistently demonstrates excellence in their work. Then nominate them for the Employee of the Month award.

The Employee of the Month, Recognition Program Award is an esteemed accolade bestowed on an employee who epitomizes the University’s core values in his or her daily work. These employees are engaged in accomplishing the mission of the University, upholding our University’s values and routinely exceed the call of duty.

Faculty, staff or students can make nominations, but the immediate supervisor must support the nomination. Employees in their current position for two years and who have not received the award within the last five years are eligible for nomination.

Nomination forms and additional details are available online at siue.edu/human-resources/faculty-staff/employee-recognition-program.

We encourage you to nominate your valued staff members and recognize their hard work and dedication to SIUE.

For more information, please contact Jen Oates-Blair at joatesb@siue.edu or 650-2127.

Thank you in advance for your time and nominations!
