University Services Star Performers
In University Services, our job is to make the University work. Our employees are exceptional
individuals, and the Star Performer Award is your chance to help us recognize the most
outstanding among them! All University Services employees are eligible to be nominated.
Star Performer Awards are given out each Fall to University Services employees and teams
of employees who have delighted their customers over the past year. We invite Star
Performer nominations from faculty, staff and students on the Twin Cities campus.
Award recipients are honored at the University Services Leadership Forum in November
and receive a personalized Star Performer plaque.
Who is a Star Performer?
University Services Star Performers are those people who demonstrate the values of University Services in the way they do their jobs. In University Services, our values are:
- Excellence in our products and services;
- Integrity in our actions with those we serve and with each other;
- Accountability in the value of our work;
- Stewardship of the University.
In addition, we look for Star Performers who demonstrate these criteria:
- Exceeding Expectations – Star Performers go above and beyond their day-to-day
tasks. They pay attention to details, seek solutions to problems, and provide a high level of commitment when they perform their work.
- Customer Service – Star Performers take the time to understand the needs of students, staff, and visitors to the University and to meet their needs consistently and effectively.
- Initiative – Star Performers find innovative ways to save time, money, or other
resources, either through new ideas or new ways to do ongoing tasks. They often
act to solve a problem before it becomes a larger issue.
- Reliability – Star Performers demonstrate a consistency in getting the job done
right, on time, the first time. Star Performers don’t let their customers – or their coworkers
– down.
