Nominations are being sought for the Council’s annual STARs Awards, our Special Thanks and Recognition scheme for employees. Once again, there are two categories for the public to nominate a Council employee or team that they feel goes above and beyond what is expected of them in their role.
Nominations are being sought by Friday 15 November and the short-leet will be announced at the end of the following week. Those short-leeted in each category will be invited with their nominator to the STARs Award 2019 celebration in the War Memorial Hall, Bishopbriggs on Thursday 12 December were the winners will be announced.
Joint Council Leader Andrew Polson believes in the importance of recognising employee excellence. He said, "Our STARs Awards are designed to recognise outstanding contributions and to celebrate employee success. The Council continues to face a challenging financial climate and it is ever more important to formally recognise those that go above and beyond what is expected of their role."
Joint Council Leader Vaughan Moody added, “Our Employees do amazing jobs, often in challenging circumstances. Our annual STARS celebration enables 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 the extra mile, 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 – externally nominated
- Team Award – Going the extra mile – externally nominated
