"G" Thanks! Program
"G" Thanks! is a recognition program to help recognize and show appreciation for colleagues and employees at U of G.
How does it work?
Each month, employees are invited to post a note of recognition or appreciation on the "G" Thanks! Kudoboard for that month. At the end of each month, nominated individuals will randomly be selected from the monthly Kudoboard to receive the "G" Thanks! gift. The winner will have a visit from two members of the GREAT at U of G team, the nominator, and their Manager.
The monthly winner will receive:
- A "G" Thanks! water bottle
- Gryphon Socks
- U of G Honey
- Beeswax lip balm
- Plantable wildflower seed paper
Nominate a colleague or team today
Know someone at U of G who deserves to be recognized for something they have done? Or a team who you really appreciate? Post a note on the "G" Thanks! Kudoboard to enter them into the monthly draw! If a team is randomly selected as the winner, each name will be entered into a draw to determine one prize winner.
The "G" Thanks! board will be open monthly and the winner will be awarded their prize the following month.
Submit your "G" Thanks! Nomination(s)
If you have sent a private Kudo message to a colleague who is GREAT, consider nominating them here as well for the monthly "G" Thanks! draw.
