The DePaul Shining Star Employee Recognition Program highlights the many “Shining Stars” of our organization, recognizing and celebrating employees who continuously exhibit the following:

• Positive “can do” attitude

DePaul employees can be nominated for recognition by DePaul clients, residents, client/resident family members, visitors, other DePaul staff members or community members on nomination cards which are collected at DePaul sites in a nomination card box labeled with a sign.

DePaul employees receive various forms of recognition depending on how many valid nominations have been received. Recognition may include:

• Celebrating the employee’s achievement in an all-staff meeting
• Presentation of either a bronze, silver, gold or a Shining Star pin depending on the number of nominations accrued
• Displaying completed nomination forms on-site/department bulletin boards
• Having recipient names listed in the DePaul employee newsletter

Employees receive a monetary award each time they achieve a new star level to commend their outstanding work:

• $25 for a bronze star (5 nominations)
• $50 for a silver star (10 nominations)
• $75 for a gold star (15 nominations)
• $100 for the Shining Star level (20 nominations)
