Awards and Recgnition

Your recognition of an employee's performance is a key factor to reaching and sustaining high levels of support excellence. The President's Management Agenda and the Office of Personnel Management's Human Capital scorecard include the value of this key factor in attaining outcomes of mission goals and objectives.  Both encourage Agencies to use awards to retain a high performing workforce and especially of those employees whose contributions significantly meet mission goals and objectives.  As a daily best practice, your recognition can be as simple as a genuine "Thank you."  Other practices include a variety of formal and informal, monetary and non-monetary awards. The following sections provides details of these awards.
