Recognition Programs

The Department of Corrections believes that consistent use of recognition is a key in inspiring employees, creating a positive work environment, and reducing turnover. The Employee Recognition program was established to provide DOC employees with opportunities to recognize coworkers for their outstanding achievements. Bestowing honor on our coworkers helps recognize the merit of our most valuable asset - employees. The process of recognizing someone by remembering their outstanding accomplishments is a great way to acknowledge everyone's efforts at DOC.

The following are some of the ways in which DOC employees are recognized:

  • Secretary's Leadership Award
