In December, 2002 the cooperative efforts of the Board of Selectmen and the Personnel Board established the Town of Walpole Employee Recognition Program. Each month the Town will recognize an employee(s) for the vital role they play in the success of our organization and in promoting the Town's commitment to operating in an efficient, customer service orientated manner.

The Employee Recognition Committee has been formed to recognize employees who make exemplary efforts in the pursuit of the Town's customer service ideal and/or who go above and beyond the call in the course of their daily duties. Supervisors, co-workers, customers, or anyone else (i.e., residents, customers, vendors, etc.) who can testify to the exemplary efforts of any Town employee can make nominations. The committee will select one award recipient each month who will be recognized through this website, posting at the Town Hall, and who shall also be awarded with a paid personal day to be used within thirty (30) days from date he or she is so proclaimed "Employee of the Month."

Nomination forms can be obtained at the Town Administrator's office or at the Human Resource's Office. Nomination can also be made directly to the Assistant Town Administrator by letter.
