Nominations are being sought for the Council’s 2018 STARs Awards, our Special Thanks and Recognition scheme for employees. Once again there are again two categories for the public to nominate a Council employee or team for demonstrating that they go the extra mile.
Joint Council Leader Andrew Polson firmly believes in recognising employee excellence. He said, "Our annual STARs Awards are designed to recognise outstanding contributions and to celebrate employee success. The Council has faced a challenging financial climate and continuous transformation agenda for many years now and it is ever more important to formally recognise those that go the extra mile in their role."
Joint Council Leader Vaughan Moody added, “Our Employees do amazing jobs, often in challenging circumstances. STARS awards enable us to recognise outstanding performances and demonstrate the value of our workforce. We want to hear from those of you who have received excellent service, that goes above and beyond, from a Council employee or team that deserves this recognition.”
Two of the five STARs categories are open to nominations from the public:
- Employee Award - Going the extra mile – internally nominated
