The Annual Recognition Awards allow employees to nominate their peers to be
recognized for excellence by demonstrating continuous improvement, going above and
beyond their usual role, building trust with their coworkers and working to develop the
next and best practices.
There are awards for individuals and for teams. In the past, individuals have been
recognized for excellence in innovation, learning, research and leadership. Teams
have been acknowledged for outstanding innovation, exceptional teamwork and
interprofessional collaboration.
In addition, Baycrest recognizes staff for their years of service. An Annual Long
Service Luncheon is organized for those who have worked here for 5, 10 or 15+ years,
as well as retirees. In September 2019, 235 employees and their managers were invited
to an off-site event hosted by the Executive Team to celebrate their years of service at
Baycrest. Each staff member received a pin to commemorate their milestone. Retirees
and employees with more than 25 years of service also received gifts.
