Nominations sought for 2021 Employee of the Year awards

Every year, UNC Charlotte awards and recognizes exemplary employees for their hard work and dedication to the campus community and beyond. In a year unlike any other, the Human Resources Department is asking employees to nominate their teammates, colleagues, those they supervise and other University employees for the 2021 Staff Employee of the Year awards.

All permanent staff employees (SHRA and EHRA) with two or more years of continuous service at UNC Charlotte are eligible for consideration. Individuals can be nominated in any one of the five categories

  • Devotion to Duty
  • Innovation
  • Human Relations
  • Community/Public Service
  • Safety/Heroism

One award may be given in each of the listed categories, but multiple winners may be chosen in the category of safety/heroism.

Nominations can be submitted either online or as a hard copy to Rebecca Behner in Human Resources by 5 p.m., Friday, March 12.

Recipients will be acknowledged at a virtual recognition event tentatively being planned for April.

More information about the Staff Employee of the Year awards can be found on the Human Resources website or by reviewing University Policy 101.11. Additional questions concerning nominations, the selection process or other aspects of the awards, can be directed to Rebecca Behner at rbehner@uncc.edu.
