  • All FP&M employees are eligible to be nominated and receive an award.

  • Supervisors can nominate employees or fellow co-workers
  • Employees can nominate fellow co-workers, teammates, or supervisors.

What are the awards?

The FP&M Employee Recognition Awards highlight FP&M employees for their outstanding contributions. Employees who receive an award have demonstrated their excellence time and again. The awards program showcases diverse, noteworthy contributions and recognizes FP&M employees for teamwork, creative solutions, customer service, innovation, commitment to excellence, and exceeding the expectations of their position.
