Staff at the Great Service Week breakfast
Auxiliary Services Great Service Week

Group: Auxiliary Services

From the group: 

Auxiliary Services Great Service Week is an annual event that takes place one week out of each year. This year each Auxiliary Services department selected a week between mid-January and mid-March 2022 to celebrate Great Service Week. The focus of the week is to highlight the great customer service that the 2,000+ Auxiliary Services employees provide throughout the year. A highlight of Great Service Week is the annual Exceptional Service Breakfast event where 43 employees who were nominated by their peers received an Exceptional Service Award. The 43 recipients of the award were honored at the breakfast event where they were presented with a certificate and gift of appreciation. Another highlight of the week for all employees is the departmental recognition events. Each department hosts an event during Great Service Week to focus attention on the purpose of the week and recognize all employees for the customer service they provide throughout the year.
