Campuswide Staff Recognition Practices and Programs
Want to nominate one of your staff members for a campus-wide award? Interested in knowing more about campus-wide recognition events for staff? Here's where you'll find information on a variety of campus programs.
Berkeley Campus Spot Award Program
The Berkeley Campus Spot Award allows supervisors, managers, and other campus individuals to recognize special achievements for non-represented staff employees as they occur. The objective of this program is to create role models and communicate the type of noteworthy accomplishments that the campus appreciates. This award lets employees know that someone has noticed their outstanding work. At the same time, it recognizes and reinforces the behaviors and values that are important at UC Berkeley.
