AB Recognition
AB Recognition is our approach to recognising the fantastic contribution council employees make. Employees nominated for recognition, either by their colleagues, managers or members of the public, will receive a letter of recognition from their Executive Director and be highlighted in Cascade each quarter.
Please email us if you need any further guidance before you make a nomination: abrecognition@argyll-bute.gov.uk
Thinking about making a nomination?
Anyone can nominate an employee or team by completing an on-line nomination form.
Nomination details should be as accurate as possible and include relevant information that highlights the contribution made by the employee or team – not just the tasks they do but also what their contribution or impact has been.
Team nominations can be for cross-departmental teams that have worked together on a joint project or task.
The following information will help you complete your nomination form and align it to the council’s Connect for Success Principles and The Way We Work Together.
