Wanted: Team HISD hat nominations for central office employees
Submit names of central office employees who go above and beyond
During each quarterly central office staff meeting, HISD gives out Team HISD hats to central office staff members who go beyond their normal day-to-day job duties to ensure our students receive a rigorous, high-quality education in a safe environment. The district’s next central office meeting is Thursday, Jan. 28, and you can help decide who from the central office should be recognized.
In the past, we have left the hat nominations up to department managers, but now we want to hear from fellow employees.
Who on your team deserves to be recognized? Who is making a difference in the lives of children each and every day — even though they may not be in the classroom?
The following criteria should be considered when employees are nominating someone for a Team HISD hat:
- Employees cannot nominate themselves
- Nominees should be of good character, and have a good, positive attitude toward their jobs as well as their department and the district
- Nominees must demonstrate excellence in overall work performance
- Nominees must arrive to work on time and have a good attendance record
- Nominees promote positive morale through a congenial, supportive attitude, and by providing excellent customer service to others
- Nominees enhance the image of their department and/or the district
