Public Service Recognition Week, established in 1985, is celebrated annually during the first week of May. This dedicated week serves as a heartfelt tribute to the tireless individuals working within the public sector—encompassing federal, state, and local employees—who selflessly champion the common good.
Our devoted public servants are the unsung heroes of our communities, ensuring that essential services are available and accessible to all. Everyday, residents rely on your invaluable contributions, from the dependable transportation systems that connect us to the maintained roadways and sidewalks we traverse. Residents depend on local government for the upkeep of our beloved parks and playgrounds, which offer us spaces for recreation and relaxation, as well as the vital public health and safety measures that protect our well-being.
Without the commitment and hard work of public service professionals, our daily lives would be markedly more challenging. During this week, inspire your staff by taking the time to recognize their dedication and shine a light on their remarkable efforts.
Here are a few simple ways to promote your staff’s dedication:
- Highlight an achievement(s): feature an employee’s work and achievements using social media and include in your City/Town monthly newsletter.
- Use Local Access TV: have your local cable channel film workers in action – it can be as simple as filming the upkeep of Main Street or the set up of a flu clinic accompanied with a short interview with involved staff.
- Employee Recognition: set up an employee recognition program.
Your staff’s work is fundamental to the fabric of our society, and they deserve our gratitude and acknowledgment. At Capital Strategic Solutions, we recognize the importance of inspiring our staff and can help you inspire yours.
