Outcomes Report 2019-2020
Employee Recognition
Employees receive recognition every 5 years. In 2019, we awarded 37 individuals with service awards. The award consists of a certificate and letter acknowledging the years of service along with a cheque, for which the amount increases every 5 years. After 25 years of service, employees also receive a specialty plaque with our agency colors/theme. Managers are encouraged to present the award publicly, and individualize the presentation of all the service awards.
The figure below shows the number of service awards given out from 2013 to 2019.
In 2019, Options had 4 individuals celebrate 15 years and 1 individual celebrate 20 years of service. It is remarkable to comment that we also had 9 people reaching between 31 and 39 years of service!
Employees at Options are also encouraged to publicly appreciate each other’s efforts, and has several initiatives that increase appreciation and recognition. These include: • Regular potlucks and events celebrating the diversity of cultural backgrounds • Children and Staff Christmas Parties • Kudos at Leadership Team meetings
