At the City of Ottawa, we are committed to recognizing and honoring employees who contribute to the success of the organization. Recognition of peers and colleagues is one of the most effective ways to reinforce our culture, support objectives and celebrate top performers. Employees who know they are appreciated create an energy that is invaluable to any organization. Showing our employees that they are appreciated and valued for their contributions and how they work every day to exemplify excellence through their actions, behaviours and achievements, builds a more supportive and positive workplace.
Our program is designed to recognize employees in three ways: Daily Recognition (BRAVO Program, Peer Recognition Awards), Service Recognition (Anniversary Pin Program, Long Service Awards, Retirement Awards) and the Excellence Program (Individual and Team Achievement Awards, Special Commendations, Award of Heroism, Lifetime Achievement Award, City Manager’s Award of Distinction, Environmental Excellence Award).
