Purpose
Blue Ridge Community College appreciates the efforts of its employees to achieve goals and to fulfill its mission, vision and values. Outstanding employees deserve to be recognized both as a reward for exceptional performance and as a model to other employees.
Eligibility
All full time employees are eligible to participate in the employee of the month program. An employee may be designated as employee of the month only once during a calendar year.
Procedures
The employee of the month program recognizes one employee each month. Nominations for the award (including self-nominations) may be submitted by any employee using the nomination form available from Human Resources (HR). Nominations are based on exceptional job performance, promoting a pleasant working environment, dependability, and/or innovation during the calendar month for which the award is to be given.
Completed nomination forms may be submitted to HR between the 1st and 20th of each month for the next month’s award. Before the end of each month, the employee of the month selection committee, including both faculty and non-faculty selected annually by HR, will meet to review the nominations and to select the employee of the month. The selection will be announced on the first day of the next month.
The selected employee of the month will be recognized on the College’s intranet and other media, and will receive use of a reserved parking space for one month. Additionally, the selected employee will have their name added to a roster for recognition in the lobby of the Patton Building.
