Pine County HR introduces 'Kudos' employee recognition program funded by a $1,500 seed grant
Summary
Human Resources Manager Jackie Cuivosto described a new county‑wide employee recognition program seeded with $1,500 from the Initiative Foundation; the program allows staff nominations by email and selects two monthly prize winners (up to $50 each).
Human Resources Manager Jackie Cuivosto presented a new 'kudos' program to the board designed to increase employee recognition across departments.
Cuivosto said the program was created from the county's 2024 strategic planning work and is staffed by an employee recognition committee. The Initiative Foundation provided a $1,500 seed grant to fund monthly drawings; each month two winners will receive up to $50 in prize funds purchased with grant dollars.
"And every month, we will have a drawing and select 2 names from those employees that have received kudos," Cuivosto said, describing how nominations will be collected via email and used to highlight staff contributions.
Why it matters: the program is a low‑cost effort to boost county employee morale and recognition; commissioners were asked to recommend employees for the program.
