Nomination Form

At Workforce Solutions, we help employers meet their workforce needs and help individuals build their careers.

We all work hard to make a difference in our community. And, in some instances, staff members go beyond the basics of their job to do more for our customers.

Our leaders on the Gulf Coast Workforce Board recognize that a dedicated staff that serves the needs of our customers effectively and efficiently is key to the success of Workforce Solutions.

Outstanding work deserves to be recognized.

The Honeycomb award recognizes staff members who exemplify customer service excellence in one of the following categories:

The team included at least two of the following Workforce Solutions segments — career office, employer service, financial aid payment office, child care quality. As a result of the teamwork from Workforce Solutions staff, the customer experienced good results.

The award begins with you.

In order to recognize our outstanding staff members, we need you to tell us who’s gone above and beyond expectations to provide outstanding customer service.

Only current Workforce Solutions staff may submit a nomination. Self-nominations are not accepted. Tell us whom you know that goes above and beyond the call of duty and deserves recognition!

A committee of eight peers determines winners in each category. The committee will have one member from each of our six major contractors, one member from Board staff and one member from among the previous winners. Half the committee members will rotate off each year and new members will replace them.
