Mason Appreciates Its Employees
By Sarah McGurk
Encouragement, positive feedback, and support are important in an employeeís
relationship with his or her employer. Martha Reiner, awards coordinator in Human
Resources at George Mason, understands the benefits of such a relationship. ìIt
is so important that supervisors and department heads take the time to say thank
you for a job well done to their outstanding employees,î she says.
George Masonís recognition program, which began in 1996, has grown into one
of the best awards programs in Virginia, says Reiner. Part of this reputation
comes from the variety of awards supervisors have at their disposal. Currently,
the university provides nine recognition programs.
ìTo me, recognition is crucial to the maintenance of morale in the workplace,î
says Reiner. ìThe awards program is designed, by means of the different types
of awards, to recognize those unsung heroes who, by their dedication and effort,
make the programs of the university function smoothly.î
For more information on the universityís recognition programs or to obtain
forms and materials, please contact Reiner at x32739 or visit hr.gmu.edu/forms.
