It is not only the corporate world that honours its employees with the employee awards and staff awards but the institution of education does too. Almost every college and university has its own repertoire of awards given to honour the hard work of faculty, teachers, professors and the administrative staff. Distinguished Faculty Awards Part time and full time faculty who demonstrate the following are awarded with these employee awards - Exemplary teaching, taking steps to enhance the student’s experience and dedication to the learning and development of the student - Leadership skills exhibited in learning, teaching and scholarship - Demonstrated contributions to the mission of the university which is a learning community focusing on instructions - Practices teaching innovatively, creatively and reflectively - Is committed to academic integrity Distinguished Teaching Award This is generally given to credit-free faculty demonstrating the following: - Professional performance and ability - Commitment to the values and mission of the University - Service to community - Committed to lifelong learning Amongst the staff awards the three major ones generally given away are distinguished administrator or manager award, distinguished support staff and effective team award. Distinguished Administrator or Manager Award and Distinguished support staff awards are given to staff in the administrative section who demonstrate - Excel in performing their duties and responsibilities pertaining to that particular position - Interact beyond the workplace - Demonstrate and support a respectful and healthy work atmosphere - Is a role model to their peers, colleagues and subordinates - Is focused on development - Is committed to the values and mission of the university The effective team award is given to groups of staff and lecturers who collaborate with the different departments in the university to work beyond call of duty, that is more than the regular workload. The overall achievement of the team should benefit the university in terms of enhancing their image or building a sense of community. The accomplishment of the team should be consistent with the vision of the university and the work outcome should add to general well being, happiness and satisfaction of the employees. For a team to get awarded it is important that the accomplishment should have come through cooperative and collaborative process. These employee awards and Staff awards aimed at honouring, encouraging and motivating the teachers and staffs are given during prestigious functions held annually at the universities. Some of the awards are given in form of cash but for most part plaques and trophies are common. Selection of nominees is generally done by the department heads and the final winner is selected by a committee mostly consisting veterans of the university.
