UVAFinance Reward & Recogniton Program Unveiled!

You told us in a recent survey that we needed better paths to recognize team members.  After lots of work by your colleagues, we're glad to unveil the UVAFinance Reward & Recognition program!

The program is designed to provide timely and transparent recognition that is consistently applied across all UVAFinance areas. Team members are recognized for demonstrating the UVAFinance core values as they perform their daily work and/or for participation on special projects. Selected employees may receive a monetary award.

It's not just for managers! This program is for peer recognition as well.  

Keep using the Shout-Out board -- this program is not intended to replace informal recognition of our peers.

How It Works

Starting June 24, you can find the UVAFinance Reward & Recognition tool here: https://fawkes.uvafinance.virginia.edu/app-portal/app-portal.php


Any UVAFinance team member can submit a nomination using the Nominate menu option.

Nominators must select the applicable core value and describe the accomplishments of the employee. Nominations are not dependent on special project work! Employees can be recognized for everyday exceptional work as well.

The VPF leadership team plus two UVAFinance team members will review the nominations monthly to ensure timely communication. All nominated individuals will be celebrated at a quarterly event.

Future Plans

Future plans for the site include images and the ability to recognize teams.

Thank you to UVAFinance employees for their grassroots idea and the original R&R workgroup: Lori O’Connor, Lorie Strother, and Patty Marbury, and Jay Gallimore for his technical expertise!
