 In order to publicly recognize and thank City employees for their exceptional achievements and service, the Personnel Department and the Mayor's Office developed the Mayor's
Employee Recognition Program in 1996. Each year the recipients of the following awards programs are honored at a special banquet.
Mayor's Awards for Employee Excellence This awards program recognizes City employees for superior performance. Individual employees or employee groups are nominated for their
achievements by other City employees. The award categories are as follows:
- Team Player:
superior ability to work with employees
and assist in an extraordinary manner.
- Exceptional
Customer Service: sustained superior performance or specific action
that gives attention to members of the public or other City employees.
- Specific Project Accomplishment: exceptional completion of
a special project assigned in addition to normal job responsibilities.
- Overall Performance: sustained superior performance for at least
12 consecutive months.
- Extraordinary Contribution: an exceptional
act associated with a non-routine or unique situation
- Exceptional Productivity: sustained superior performance
or a specific action that resulted in a significant cost savings
or increased efficiency
- Career Contribution: superior on-the-job
performance for a period of eight or more years
- Distinguished Contribution: sustained superior performance
of an exceptional or unique nature that strengthens and/or brings
credit to a specific profession
- Development: superior improvement in performance.
Any City employee
can submit a nomination. The Department of Personnel screens
all submissions to verify nominee eligibility and accuracy. Award
recipients are selected on the basis of their achievements by an
impartial panel that has no affiliation with City government.
To help ensure fairness, the selection panel is not aware of either
the names of the nominators or nominees during the process.
