Human resources is now accepting nominations for the 2023 Outstanding Employee Awards to recognize and honor officers of administration and classified staff. Nominations will be accepted through April 28.

The Office of Human Resources sponsors this employee recognition program to acknowledge and celebrate OAs and classified employees who demonstrate excellence on the job, exemplify the university mission, foster admiration among colleagues, and model high-performance standards. It is a peer-nominated, peer-reviewed program. An employee committee reviews nominations and selects the award recipients.

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

The HR website 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.

HR will announce this year’s award recipients in mid-May with a reception celebrating the honorees to follow.
