UMW Employee Recognition Programs

Have you experienced excellent customer service from another employee while working on a project?  Has a co-worker gone above and beyond to help you on an assignment? The #1 Fan Program is available to all employees to reward someone for a helping hand. You do not need to be a supervisor to utilize this program. If you are a supervisor you can reward your employees with a Yellow WOW card (classified employees only) or Green WOW card (classified or wage employees only).

Please visit the Human Resources webpage for more details on these two programs and other recognition programs:  http://adminfinance.umw.edu/hr/employee-relations/employee-recognition-2/employee-recognition/

If you have any questions or suggestions for ways to recognize our UMW employees, please contact Jennifer Cooper, x1046 or jcooper4@umw.edu.
