Human Resources Update

NEW!! Appreciation Portal

We are very excited to announce that the University is launching a new campus-wide Appreciation Portal. Please watch for the official announcement in the February 22 edition of PawPrint. The portal enables the community to recognize staff successes or milestones the moment they happen! Areas to celebrate could include extraordinary behaviors, high impact project completion, exceptional innovation, outstanding performance and substantial work effort.

The portal can also be used by the entire Cornell community to send personal and private messages of appreciation to colleagues. The messages are tagged to show how behaviors link to Cornell’s Skills for Success. The Portal is a great way to introduce a new CVM employee to Cornell’s culture of recognition by sending a welcome greeting during their first 30-60 days.

CVM supervisors may recognize their staff with tokens of appreciation in the form of points (dollars) awarded in amounts from 10 to 75, which are redeemable at Amazon and The Cornell Store. Supervisors may also send non-monetary kudos and thank you messages to staff as well.

The portal is live now.  ou are welcome to log in, look around to get a feel for the tool, and send your staff a message! We would appreciate hearing your feedback!

Appreciation and Recognition

The many ways we say, “Thank you!”  At Cornell, we are committed to cultivating a culture of appreciation that celebrates our employees’ achievements and contributions throughout the year. Success relies on all of us!

It is easy to get focused on the tasks at hand – the emails, the meetings, the projects and to-do lists – and forget to say, “Thank you!” or “Well done!” And yet, it is often those simple, timely gestures that have a profound impact on our attitude, productivity, and feelings of belonging.

Appreciation Portal

An easy-to-use appreciation portal that allows for quick, just-in-time messages to peers across the university. It's a thank you note, without having to pull out a card! The system empowers our employees to recognize a colleague’s success or milestone the moment it happens. Simply sign in and share your message privately with the individual.  Please see below for additional information.

Informal Recognition

It's easy and meaningful to recognize the efforts and accomplishments of employees and peers for their work every day, as well as after the completion of projects both large and small. Check out ideas for low cost and no-cost individual and group recognition.

Events

Special events such as High Five RED Days and Employee Celebrations are a broad campus-wide informal show of appreciation for our hardworking employees.

Awards

The university stewards several award programs intended to formally honor our employees for outstanding performance. Some are campus-wide recognitions, while others are specific to colleges, departments and units. Recognize an exceptional employee, supervisor or fellow colleague by nominating them for a variety of campus awards.

Service recognition

This tradition of recognition is a grateful celebration of the staff milestones of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 years of service to the university.

Degree recognition

Each year, dozens of Cornell staff members graduate with degrees from Cornell and other colleges with the help of the Employee Degree Program and the Tuition Aid program offered by the University.
