    1. A Staff Recognition Award Scheme Michael Marsh Office of Technical Services (OTS) Griffith University

    2. 2 Objective of presentation Outline the development, implementation and effectiveness of the current Griffith University OTS Staff Recognition Award Scheme and provides rationale for award criteria in addition to guidance for organisations wishing to implement a similar scheme.

    3. 3 Background During 2002 a number of discussions took place during managers meetings and through staff forums to determine the level of support for a Staff Recognition Award Scheme. No consensus was apparent during discussions at group level so OTS formed a working group with the following objectives and scope:

    4. 4 Objectives of working group Primary: Determine whether staff want a staff Recognition Award Scheme, and if so: Secondary: Develop through a consultative process with staff the appropriate selection criteria for the awarding of staff recognition awards. Determine how staff can be nominated for a staff recognition award. Determine how often award is to be provided. Provide advice regarding disseminating information about award recipients.

    5. 5 Scope of Working Group Working Group members to comment upon this scope definition and amendments made accordingly. If staff wants this scheme Working Group shall determine what they believe to be an appropriate Staff Recognition Award Scheme in consultation with staff.

    6. 6 Scope of Working Group Contd Each Working Group member to focus on a single campus. Proposed Staff Recognition Award Scheme ideas to be collated and re-distributed to staff. Working Group members to determine which Scheme is preferred option after consultation with staff. Preferred option given to OTS Director for comment. Finally, Decision made and implementation date established.

    7. 7 Preferred option Should be based upon the existing QUT High Performance Computing and Research Support Department scheme within the Information Technology Services and modified to meet OTS specific needs. Prevent re-inventing the wheel.

    8. 8 In summary, the recommendations of the working group were as follows: OTS should design and implement a Staff Recognition Award Scheme based upon the QUT model. The scheme should provide for awards other than certificates, but certificates can accompany an award. The award can be issued to teams, not just individuals.
