By: Orange County Communications Department OC Employees Celebrated at Annual Appreciation Event
Last month, Orange County celebrated its annual employee appreciation event, known as the J.U.I.C.E. Event, at Booster Park! This celebration brings together team members from across the organization, helping to break down silos and reinforcing that we’re all working towards the same goal: serving the public. At the event, staff enjoyed fellowship, lunch, games, and recognitions for employees who have gone above and beyond. One way we recognize those staff is through “J.U.I.C.E. Awards.” Submitted by coworkers who notice an employee doing something awesome, these awards began as part of our Culture Initiative several years ago, and continue to be a very popular way to give kudos among our team members.
Some of the most-recognized staff members include Julia Lindsay of our Development Services Department, Amanda Znamierowski of the Treasurer’s Office, Cindy Hawkins of General Services, and Rashad Robinson of Information Technology. Rashad holds the distinction of most “J.U.I.C.E. Awards” received by any employee , which is even more impressive when considering his relatively short tenure. For (just) the past two years, Rashad, has helped keep Orange County connected by troubleshooting hardware, software, network, and system issues. Sometimes the solution is as simple as restarting a computer; other times, it takes serious troubleshooting skills. No matter the challenge, his goal is simple: put a smile on the County’s face, and he always makes it happen.
His example, and that of the many other recognized team members, is demonstrative of the hard work, dedication, and can-do attitude of Orange County’s public servants.
