Employee Recognition
Employee Recognition Survey
(Adapted from the University of Iowa)
People are individuals. How one person would like to be recognized for their efforts may be different from their co-worker. Our unit would like to know how you would like to be recognized and what you are willing to do to make our workplace a more supportive environment. Please remember that financial rewards are not a possibility at this time. All responses will be shared only with your immediate supervisor.
