Nomination Process

The Employee of the Quarter recipients of the previous year will be considered. The Recognition Committee will examine the potential candidates. The committee chair will ensure that all of the nominations follow the process guidelines and that there are no descriptors used that compromise anonymity.  The committee, not including the chair, will narrow the choices down to two candidates by using a 7-point likert scale and tallying the results.

The committee will post the nomination information for the final candidates online. UW employees will be eligible to vote on which nomination they believe best describes UW's Employee of the Year. The individual with the most votes at the end of the voting period will be selected as the next Employee of the Year.

Selection Criteria

The selection process will be based on the following information:

  • Quality of work

  • Initiative and desire for improving work methods and working conditions in his/her environment

  • Impact within the department/division/University as a whole
