Recognition Tool Kit

The UAMS Office of Human Resources (OHR) recognizes that the recognition and support given to employees is important to retain the highest level of employee satisfaction here on campus. In an effort to further support current recognition at the department, division or campus level we have developed a toolkit for use by any interested area.

 The Toolkit contains the following:

• Principles of any recognition plan

• Template for recognition components

• Criteria for any recognition plan

• Tips for developing recognition plan

• Template for communication of plan

• Suggested awards or rewards

• Sample recognition ideas

A recent survey on campus conducted by OHR revealed that employees are open to many different programs, peer to peer, department focused and campus-wide.  The most popular type is individual (80%) with team recognition (65%) second.
