BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background: The goal of the Baldwin County Commission’s Employee of the Quarter Program is to publicly recognize outstanding employees and acknowledge their accomplishments and contributions to the Baldwin County Commission as a whole. It also offers an opportunity for all employees within the County to recognize their peers for their exceptional job performance as well as offering the citizens an opportunity to recognize county employees who exhibit exceptional customer service. The Baldwin County Commission has implemented a program to recognize outstanding employees. Each quarter, an employee will be selected based on factors such as: significantly improving customer/employee service or increasing customer satisfaction, significantly improving work processes or increasing implemented procedure efficiency, taking initiative to reduce organizational barriers through activities such as mentoring, voluntarily assist in cross-functional teams, works to foster collaboration, communication, and cooperation among peers, management and staff, and performs at a level above and beyond normal job requirements.
