Show a staff member your appreciation

Peer to Peer Logo

The Peer-to-Peer Appreciation Award offers an opportunity for employees to recognize their colleagues’ hard work and dedication to furthering the mission and success of HLS, whether it is through accomplishing tasks, deepening our community, or brightening our day to day. We encourage our employees to nominate their fellow co-workers who make a difference in everyday work life.

Anyone can nominate a colleague for a Peer-to-Peer Appreciation Award to recognize and celebrate their great work, and they no longer need to be limited to just one category.  We hope that this process change encourages more participation and easier recognition for our staff and the great work they do!

About the Peer-to-Peer Award Program

In the 2006 employee engagement survey, HLS staff asked for a way to feel more valued for their contributions. In response, a committee of HLS staff volunteers was formed to create a more formal means for acknowledging great work, beginning with a Peer-to-Peer Reward and Recognition Program.  In 2021, we changed the name to the Peer-to-Peer Appreciation Award.
