NOMINATIONS are now being accepted for Inverclyde Council’s Pride of Inverclyde Awards 2024.
The awards recognise public service employees and teams who go above and beyond to improve the lives of Inverclyde residents.
Residents and fellow employees can nominate an individual or team they feel deserves special recognition.
The awards are open to staff working across all council services, including those delivered by the health and social care partnership (HSCP).
Louise Long, chief executive of Inverclyde Council, said: “All our staff –- council and health and social care partnership -– work hard to support residents and make a difference in our communities every day.
“The Pride of Inverclyde Awards are a chance for the council as an employer to celebrate the dedication and professionalism of our employees but also for the residents we serve to acknowledge an individual or team that has gone above and beyond.
“I invite colleagues and members of the public to nominate any service or individual who they feel deserves some special recognition for the work they do.”
Four awards categories are open to staff and the public. There will also be special awards chosen by the chief executive and provost plus long service awards.
Councillor Stephen McCabe, leader of Inverclyde Council, said: “Staff right across the council and HSCP are delivering the highest standard of service possible while facing increasing pressures.
“They regularly go beyond the call of duty to help support residents and help make Inverclyde the best possible place to live, work, visit, and do business and these awards are an opportunity to celebrate those dedicated and hard-working employees.”
