Rationale:
As of today, I am introducing our new "District First" award program. I believe recognizing and acknowledging outstanding employee attitude and performance is crucial in developing and maintaining a positive and productive employee culture. A "District First" philosophy is one that recognizes the Lower Platte North NRD is more than just our employer, it is our Profession, our Passion and our Pride. I will be relying on each of you to keep me informed of the great work, attitude and professionalism our staff is displaying on a regular basis so I can recognize their contributions to our district.
I believe this "pay it forward" approach will help us all become better stewards of the Lower Platte North NRD and provide us all an opportunity to promote and acknowledge our "District First" culture. Thank you all for the work you do and please let me know if you have any questions. E |
