KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY Board of Regents

BACKGROUND: Strategic employee recognition fuels an environment that inspires new ideas and gives its communities victories to celebrate. At Kentucky State University, when an employee or a team achieves outstanding results — big or small — we must shine the spotlight on brand champions and their great work — the big finish with entry into the Winner's Circle.

SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES: Our goal is to build a culture that thrives and understands the relationship between great customer experiences and Kentucky State University's brand reputation. The program aims to encourage constant workplace improvements, including evaluation of processes, work flow, communication, and ways to inspire enthusiasm for victories in the hearts of our employees, believing true success happens from the inside out.

The campus community and others will be encouraged to nominate employees who deserve special recognition for going above and beyond the call of duty to impact the customer experience while advancing the brand reputation of Kentucky State University. This program will recognize individuals whose service to the University provides exceptional benefits in the furtherance of the goals and mission of the institution.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC GOALS: It is our goal to position Kentucky State University among the nation's most visible post-secondary institutions and as an effective force for progress in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, working collaboratively and efficiently to boast its position of providing the highest quality education for the highest return on investment while improving the quality of life and driving economic growth in the Commonwealth.
