Human resources is now accepting nominations for the 2017 Outstanding Employee Awards to recognize and honor officers of administration and classified staff. Nominations will be accepted through Tuesday, Oct. 31.

The Office of 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 information about this recognition program including the full description 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, which includes a nomination form and letter of support.

HR will announce this year’s award recipients in mid-November. The 2017 Outstanding Employee Award Reception will be Nov. 28 from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the Ford Alumni Center ballroom.
