Hi All,

This is for all employees. So please feel free share your ideas or even if it is “Please don’t put me in a spotlight!” (Which is my response) I will not be passing on any names or personal information when I compile the ideas to share with the committee.

I have recently been assigned to participate on the Employee Benefits and Social Planning committees. I was asked to gather input from my fellow library staff regarding employee recognition and social activities.

In particular:

• How would you most like to be recognized for the time you have spent as an employee?
• When do you think recognition should begin?
• How often should it occur?
• What social activities would appeal to you?

I appreciate any input you are willing to provide. Please feel free to email me or stop by my desk for a chat.
