EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM

The Employee Recognition Program reinforces ASU's culture and supports its objectives. This program promotes and perpetuates our shared values of creative expression, continuous improvement, peer recognition, innovation, individual excellence, collaboration across departments and disciplines, use-inspired outcomes, social embeddedness, and community spirit.

These awards and celebrations provide the University and employees with opportunities to recognize and celebrate the commitment and contributions of ASU employees.
