WHALE Employee Recognition Program

The WHALE Employee Recognition Program will now select winners on a quarterly basis rather than on a monthly basis.

The purpose of the program is to establish a university-wide recognition program that allows every faculty or staff member the opportunity to recognize another faculty or staff member for exceeding the expectations of one another and our internal and external community.

Reflective of the six C’s of the University’s mission statement and named after the Walking Whale.

  • Willing: Inclined to lend a caring hand with good intentions and without reluctance
  • Helpful: Exercises competence and unselfish treatment to one another
  • Altruistic: Desires to strive for a caring work community
  • Loyal: Thoughtfully demonstrates character, dependability, and curiosity in all actions
  • Enthusiastic: Executing collaboration through spirited and respectful communications

The purpose of the program is to establish a university-wide recognition program that allows every faculty or staff member the opportunity to recognize another faculty or staff member for exceeding the expectations of one another and our internal and external community.

Fill out the WHALE Employee Recognition Form and include a specific instance that merits the special recognition. Human Resources will then take care of making sure that the recognition form is sent to the faculty or staff member that you are nominating and their immediate supervisor. It’s that easy! Each quarter, Human Resources will choose one winner out of all nominations received that quarter. Nominees and quarterly winners’ names will be published via different University publications.
