The Staff Excellence Awards will honor those who support and advance the university’s mission and role in higher education. The nomination period is now open through Nov. 4.
The university’s human resources team is relaunching its Staff Excellence Awards, which honor staff members who are instrumental in building the Northeastern experience across the global system.
The awards, last given in 2021, celebrate staff achievements, while empowering them to succeed and strengthen the university community.
Winners will be invited to a celebration hosted by Northeastern senior leadership in the spring.
The nomination period is now open through Nov. 4.
In reimagining the awards, organizers wanted to keep the focus on innovation, inclusion and belonging, according to Michele Grazulis, vice president and chief human resources officer at Northeastern.
The university is committed to fostering an engaged employee experience, Grazulis says, and a big piece of that is feeling recognized for the work that is accomplished.
There are about 6,000 staff members at Northeastern across the global system and all are eligible to participate.
Finalists will be selected by review teams that include about 22 fellow staff members who have been selected based on their expertise of the award areas. Each committee will then forward one or two people or groups, along with supporting materials, to senior leadership who will pick the winners.
