Employee Appreciation and Recognition

Employee Recognition at BGSU

The Office of Human Resources strives to foster a culture of appreciation and recognition for our employees. Every day is an opportunity to recognize a colleague, supervisor, direct report, or co-worker for their contributions to the University. We know how easy it is to get focused on the tasks at hand – the emails, the meetings, the projects, and to-do lists – and forget to say, “Thank you!” or “Well done!” It is often those simple, timely gestures that have a profound impact on the attitude, productivity, and feelings of belonging of our employees.

Individual and team achievements can be celebrated every day through informal, timely recognition of a job well done either by supervisors, peers, or both! Taking time to applaud valuable contributions builds community and stronger teams. Recognition that comes from a supervisor, peer, co-worker, direct report, or department head are all important. When staff demonstrate excellence, integrity, innovation, diversity, and respect, it’s time to congratulate them on a job well done!

Review the resources available for various ways to recognize your employees as well as the events hosted by the Office of Human Resources and other campus partners that are centered around recognizing all of the accomplishments and service towards creating public good.
