Below is a list of employees who have earned Vital Pins in November as part of the UNMC Vital Thank ‘U’ program.
The program recognizes employees who demonstrate UNMC’s brand values of Leadership, Team, Resource and Excellence. Employees get 12 “Thank ‘U’s” to send out each year — there’s still time to send one to a co-worker in 2013.
The employees listed below received Vital Pins because they earned six Thank ‘U’ awards for a particular brand value. (Multiple winners’ names are followed by the number of times they have received the award.)
