Staff Employee of the Quarter

The Staff Employee of the Quarter Award Program was developed to encourage recognition of the contributions made by the OUHSC College of Nursing staff employees who go beyond the expectations of their employment.

Award

The recipient of the Staff Employee of the Quarter will receive a Certificate of Appreciation and a $50.00 gift certificate.

Eligibility & Rules

To be eligible for this award, the employee must be a full-time permanent, non-faculty staff member at the College of Nursing for at least two (2) consecutive calendar years.  Nomination forms must be accompanied by at least two (2) letters of recommendation, one of which must be from the employee’s direct supervisor.  There is no maximum number of letters that can be submitted.  Incomplete or anonymous nominations will not be considered.  Those nominees not receiving the Staff Employee of the Quarter award will be held and reconsidered each quarter for one (1) year from the date first received.  If no nominations are received and therefore, there is not a recipient, the award money will be placed back into the account.  The award amount will not double for the next quarter.

Nominations will be considered and voted upon by the Staff Employee of the Quarter Committee.  This committee is made up of a group of College of Nursing staff members representing all campuses.  In case of a tie, the Chair of the committee will break the tie.

Staff Employee of the Quarter recipients cannot be considered for new nominations for a period of two (2) years after receiving the award.
