The Employee-of-the-Month Program recognizes one Island County employee each month. Any employee may be nominated by another employee or by a member of the public for this award.  Nominations should be made in writing with an explanation as to what the employee has done that merits them Employee of the Month status.  Nominations for the award may be submitted by anyone using the Employee of the Month Nomination form, available from the company’s intranet forms database or from Human Resources.  Nominations are based on

1. Initiative
   
2. Reliability
   
3. Teamwork
   
4. Service to Citizens
   
5. Going Above and Beyond Normal Duties

Completed nomination forms may be submitted electronically or in hard copy to Human Resources starting the 20th of each month until the until the last working day of the month for that month’s award.  During the first week of the following month, the Employee-of-the-Month Selection Committee, a cross-section of Island County employees selected by Human Resources, meets to review the nominations and to select the Employee of the Month.  The Human Resources office announces the selection and the award is presented at the Board of Commissioners meeting scheduled for the second Monday of the month.

The selected employee of the month will receive use of a reserved parking space for the month and an Island County t-shirt.
