Davis Productivity Awards Nomination Process Kicks Off

Kathy Albekord, Training and Awards Coordinator

The Davis Productivity Awards offer a great opportunity to recognize the efficient approaches employees in your areas have taken to a project or job.

Presented annually, these awards honor individuals and work units in Florida state government that have significantly increased productivity in delivering state services and products. The program provides cash awards ranging from $100 to $2,500 to state employees who have shown exemplary performance or whose creativity has led to new cost-saving approaches.
