Human Resources is now accepting nominations for the 2016 Outstanding Employee Awards to recognize and honor officers of administration and classified staff. Nominations will be accepted through Thursday, Nov. 3.

Human Resources holds the annual employee recognition program to celebrate and acknowledge OAs and classified staff who demonstrate excellence on the job, exemplify the university mission, foster admiration among colleagues and model high performance standards.

To be considered, nominees should exhibit on-the-job performance that builds community, promotes inclusivity, demonstrates leadership qualities and supports the university mission. 

The Outstanding Employee Awards webpage provides more information about this recognition program including the full descriptions of the award criteria and nomination instructions. Any UO employee can nominate an OA or classified employee for an Outstanding Employee Award through the online nomination process. The nomination form and links to submit a letter in support of a nominee are available on the awards webpage listed above.

HR will announce this year’s award recipients in mid November. The 2016 Outstanding Employee Award Reception will be Nov. 30 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
