Recognition Programs

Golden Palm Award
The County Administrator’s Golden Palm Award which started in 1994 is the highest level of recognition for employee and work group accomplishments and is a complement to departmental Employee Recognition Programs.

Incentive Leave
Incentive Leave provides Department Heads with an additional tool to reward employees with paid leave of up to 20 hours per year for contributing significantly to achievement of department or county government goals, customer service improvements, cost savings initiatives, or a project of importance to the organization. (See PPM CW-P-58). This office is responsible for changes to the program and for tracking usage as a recognition tool.

Breakfast with Bob
The County Administrator periodically holds breakfast meetings with a small group of employees from various departments to inform them about current County government issues and to learn about their concerns or suggestions. Some significant changes have been made as a result of these interchanges.
