MISSOURI STATE EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION WEEK
May 28 – June 1, 2012

What is State Employee Recognition Week? (SERW)

State Employee Recognition Week [SERW] is a time set aside to better inform people about the wide variety of services provided by state employees.  It is a time to show appreciation to the employees who ensure that our government is the best in the world. State Employee Recognition Week is an occasion to recognize every agency’s involvement in the local community – the innovative programs that enhance the quality of life, and all successful efforts to improve customer service for Missouri citizens.

It is also a time to notice the outstanding state employees we work with every day – people who have chosen to make a career of public service.

Even when times are tight it is still important to show appreciation to employees. In fact, it is more important than ever. Be sure to take the time to tell employees who continue the important work of their agency that their dedication and sacrifices are noticed and appreciated.

Each manager, supervisor and employee – whether behind the scene, or out in front – is the face that someone turns to for help and assistance every day. State Employee Recognition Week reminds us of the dedication it takes to fulfill each agency’s mission, and the pride employees take in the work they do.

During SERW the annual Missouri State Employee Awards of Distinction are presented to state employees for outstanding accomplishments. Click here for information regarding past winners.

To find out how each state agency recognized their state employees during SERW contact the state agency coordinator.
