Recognize Stow Employees for Going Above and Beyond

September is Workforce Development Month and the is encouraging Stow companies to nominate exemplary workers for the Goodwill Industries Employee of Distinction award.

Have someone in mind? Nominate members of your staff by July 31 for the public recognition Sept. 7. 

Everyone who is nominated will be recognized and get a free lunch during the 10th annual Employee of Distinction Luncheon at Guy's Party Centre in Akron at 11:30 a.m.

All nominees will also get two free tickets to a performance at Akron’s historic Civic Theater.

Five nominees will be selected for additional recognition and will receive a gift from Shulan’s Jewelers and Akron Aeros tickets.

“To prevent choosing favorites, our employees vote for one person to nominate to represent our company," Randy Katz, co-owner of City Scrap and Salvage said. "This process creates great companionship each year with our employees promoting themselves to each other. A great event to look forward to in September.”

Nominations are free and forms may be downloaded here, or print off the form attached to this post. The deadline is July 31. There is no limit to how many employees one person nominates.

Questions on the nomination form include, "What special contribution has this employee made to your business?, What are the employee’s best work qualities? and What has the employee done above and beyond their call of duty?"

Lunch is $25 for those who would like to attend but aren't nominated.
