Employee Recognition Scheme
Nominate a council employee or team
The Employee Recognition Scheme recognises and celebrates the dedication, effort and positive difference employees make every day. The scheme allows colleagues, managers and members of the public to recognise individuals or teams whose work has had a meaningful impact on services, communities or the people they support.
The scheme has been created to highlight the contribution employees make across the council and to promote a culture where great work is recognised and valued. It is designed to celebrate people who go the extra mile, show commitment to public service, support others, improve the way we work, or make a real difference for residents and communities.
Who can nominate and who can be nominated
Colleagues, managers and members of the public may submit nominations. Individuals and teams working across the council can be nominated for their contributions that demonstrate commitment, teamwork, innovation, excellent service, or a positive impact on others.
What to include in your nomination
When making a nomination, please explain what the individual or team did, why it stood out, and what difference it made. The strongest nominations usually include specific examples, describe the impact on colleagues, services or communities, and show why the contribution deserves recognition.
How to nominate
- choose the person or team you want to nominate
- think about what they have done and the difference it has made
- complete the nomination form and provide clear examples to support your nomination
