Rewarding Outstanding
Work Performance
Successful leaders understand that employees perform best with the proper motivation. Beyond the standard monetary compensation that employees receive,
most employees also require a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment to boost
job satisfaction and stay motivated on the job. Fortunately, our District has in
place a formal method for employees to receive an official commendation for high performance on the job:
the Notice of Outstanding Work Performance.
Notices of Outstanding Work Performance are a useful employee recognition tool for LACCD supervisors.
They provide an opportunity to acknowledge the exceptional contributions of staff members while giving
recipients motivation to keep up the good work. It will also give other employees a goal to work toward.
These notices can be awarded any time throughout the year and ideally should be granted soon after an employee’s exceptional performance. They may be issued as often as the supervisor considers it appropriate.
There are two major reasons for awarding this commendation to an employee:
Outstanding day-to-day performance by an employee
Outstanding work performance in unusually difficult and/or emergency situations
Outstanding work performance on a special or difficult project
The Notice of Outstanding Work Performance should be completed by the immediate supervisor of the employee who is receiving recognition. When preparing a notice, supervisors should provide specific examples
or explanatory comments that illustrate in what respect the employee has clearly exceeded the supervisor’s
standards for satisfactory work. The examples or comments provided should demonstrate the employee’s
outstanding work performance on one or more of the following factors:
Quantity of work
Quality of work
Dependability
Relationships with people
Work habits and attitudes
Supervisory ability
If you would like to submit a Notice of Outstanding Work Performance for a member of your staff, the form
