Staff Employee Service Recognition
The University of Cincinnati's staff service anniversary recognition program is an important component of our overall recognition process. We encourage managers to take this excellent opportunity to express appreciation and gratitude for his/her employee's dedication, commitment and accomplishments associated with years of service.
Staff Service Recognition Program - What can you expect?
Anniversary dates are identified using the employee's Recent Hire Date. With the Staff Recognition Program, two emails are sent out from our vendor, Michael C. Fina.
- Email notifying the manager of an employee's anniversary
- Email to the employee to congratulate them and give details to select a gift online. If the employee does not respond to this email and select a gift, a default gift will be sent to the employee.
Milestone Anniversaries
If an employee is celebrating a milestone anniversary - 10 years, 25 years, or 40 years - he or she will also receive a framed certificate.
Staff Anniversary Recognition Resources
Managers can use the UC-branded certificate to present to their employee, in addition to the certificate the employee receives from the recognition program.
- Employee Recognition Certificate (UC Branded)
There are a limited number of pins from our previous program available upon request from the manager or employee being recognized. (Some quanitites are low and there is no implied guarantee of availablity.) Contact Sharon Burks, Human Resources, at sharon.burks@uc.edu.
We ran out of the 5, 10 and 25 year pins so they are not available.
On-the-Spot Recognition and Reward Resources
Managers can recognize and reward employees throughout the year in various ways, such as taking them to lunch, giving gifts or gift cards, etc. There are many resources within the university that will not only allow you to recognize your employee, but also support the university.
