22 CELEBRATING OUR SUCCESS The College values the hard work and dedication of its employees. It is important in a College community for employees to feel valued, recognized, and appreciated. The Employee Recognition Policy and Procedures provides a framework for individuals and teams to be recognized for their outstanding work and contributions. In addition to ongoing positive feedback to employees by their supervisors, it is important that teams and departments celebrate the achievements of individuals. Throughout the year, supervisors are encouraged to hold informal, special staff/department gatherings to recognize individuals or groups for their outstanding work. In addition to informal ongoing recognition, the College also has several formal celebrations. Annual Celebration of Excellence at the Spring Convocation The Celebration of Excellence Spring Convocation for all employees in January or February (based on the approved College calendar), recognizes and celebrates the dedication and achievements of employees. Regular full-time administrators, regular part-time administrators working 50% or greater, regular full-time support staff, regular part-time support staff working 50% or greater, Children’s Center full-time teachers, and full-time faculty are recognized for their years of service in five-year increments. Years of service begin upon assignment to the regular position. Service in an interim, PTVS, limited term, or adjunct position is not eligible for years of service. Employees who separate from regular full-time or regular part-time employment and return to an eligible position within three years from the date of separation shall receive full credit for prior eligible service. Individuals who are being awarded Emeritus and Distinguished Status are recognized and a number of employees receive excellence or special awards. A monetary award may be provided for each excellence and special award and for years of service depending on the FCC annual budget and FCC Foundation funds.
