CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION

In the CHS, we believe that it is important to reward and recognize staff. Reward and Recognition is the “extent to which employees feel rewarded and recognized for their performance, feel satisfied with their employment benefits and development programmes and feel satisfied with their career progression so far.  Management has decided to embark on a two-fold process to promote an environment where staff are continuously recognized for outstanding work.

Firstly, we have created a “Certificate of Appreciation” whereby an individual can be nominated by their line manager or colleague for outstanding service. Please send your nominations with a summary of why the individual has been nominated for this certificate to francism@ukzn.ac.za.  You can then print out the appropriate certificate below and have it signed by the relevant Dean or Director: Professional Services.

Secondly, the CHS Public Relations Unit will collate all nominations into a list which will be published on the notice system and website. Staff will then be able to vote, towards the end of the year, for the “Employee of the Year” in each School and in the Professional Services Unit.

So start nominating your colleagues who perform outstanding work; are respectful, courteous and professional in their behaviour and emanate excellence in all that they do. Note that no certificate will be signed without a summary of the nomination.
