Dear Managers and Supervisors,
Staff Appreciation Week is set for June 12 - 16. I would like to encourage you to plan a way to appreciate your own staff during that week. Even a small effort on your part is very meaningful to those who work for you. Finding a fun way to say thank you, celebrating their successes, simply giving them the time to attend events that week, or even volunteering at Summerfest yourself, all show that you appreciate them.
You are also encouraged to approve release time requests from staff to participate in the week’s events as your department’s business needs allow. Staff Appreciation Week has community building events throughout the week to choose from. Our Wednesday Summerfest event goes from 11:30am - 1:30pm so that managers have flexibility to stagger staff lunch hours and allow more people to attend. The more staff able to attend, the more inclusive our community becomes.
Thank you for your support of our staff!
Jo
