Background:
More than a year ago,the Health Services Department implemented a Service Excellence initiative to
achieve positive end-user outcomes and positive employee experiences and improve quality
processes. The department has created a certificate program to recognize outstanding Service
Excellence behavior and has issued a Rewards and Recognition policy to encourage supervisors and
managers to reinforce Service Excellence behavior. A toolkit is being ideveloped to assist in that
effort and a variety of low-cost awards are needed to support that program. Currently,the Auditor-
Controller does not have the authority to pay for expenditures for awards, food or events in
recognition of the department employees and/or volunteers who demonstrate outstanding Service
Excellence.
Fiscal Impact•
These expenditures are coded to the appropriate funding source and reimbursed with county funding.
