Tips for a Winning Nomination

Employees are more likely to be chosen to receive an award if you include details such as numbers, quantities, names, buildings, projects, and impact in the nomination.

Is there more than one reason why they should receive an award? Add multiple examples of work efforts.
What has changed as a result? How much, or how many?
What is the impact of their work? What larger goals or programs does the work support? Who does their work help?
It’s okay if you don’t know everything about their work — but include all the detail that you do know! The selection committee will not reach out for more info.
