2017 PUBLIC EMPLOYEE Public Employee Recognition Week
RECOGNITION WEEK
(PERW) is a time set-aside to honor the

thousands of dedicated individuals who

make up the State of Georgia’s workforce,

and make a difference in the well-being of

10 million Georgians every day. Public

Employee Recognition Day is an excellent

opportunity to express appreciation to

state employees at a time when their

dedication is even more valued and

appreciated. Recognition is a powerful

motivator, and it contributes to higher

employee morale, increases

organizational productivity, and aids in

recruitment and retention.

Agencies across the state planned
activities to show appreciation to their
employees for their contributions to
public service and to recognize their
achievements in the workplace and in our
communities.

Throughout the country, mayors,
governors, agency leaders, communities
and public service organizations
participate in Public Service Recognition
Week (PSRW) by issuing proclamations;
hosting award ceremonies and special
tribute events; and delivering messages
about the value of public service.
