These small sheets of paper offer a new and additional way to recognize our colleagues for great work. It’s quick and easy to write a simple thank-you note to someone who’s helped you out in a jam or done an especially good job that you’ve noticed.
The recognition notepads are being distributed across the agency, including to regional offices.
How does it feel to receive a “you’re awesome” note? Here are three reactions:
Ashley Blowers, Administrative Services: “It made me smile. We all do lots of work each day that oftentimes seems to go unnoticed – the note was a nice reminder to keep on keepin’ on. I like that there's now a less formal way to recognize people.”
Paige Beck, Emergency Management: The “note was a fun and cheerful way to be thanked for a small, every day task that would normally go unnoticed. It was exciting to get a little colorful note on my keyboard as I started the morning.”
Vanessa Martinez, Financial Services: “Receiving a personalized thank you is a wonderful feeling. Taking a moment to acknowledge a coworker is something we should all do on a regular basis.”
Remember, QUICK Awards are another way to recognize someone whose work performance goes above and beyond. Fill out a QUICK award here.
