Rewards and Recognition Initiatives
Rewards and recognition in the NHS are vital for boosting staff morale, enhancing retention, and fostering a culture of appreciation and excellence. Celebrating contributions not only motivates individuals but also strengthens team cohesion and patient care outcomes. Here is a selection of CWPTs initiatives focused on rewarding and recognising the excellent contribution you make.
Quality Awards
Each year we like to recognise excellence in the workplace. Staff are nominated by their peers and patients/service users and carers for a variety of awards.
Visit our Let's celebrate success page for more information or contact the Staff Engagement Team on staff.engagement@covwarkpt.nhs.uk.
Long Service Awards
Lots of our staff give many loyal years of service to the NHS and our Trust. In recognition of this commitment, we hold a Long Service Award ceremony each year in celebration. In addition to a certificate, staff receive the following high street shopping vouchers:
- £100 after 20 years' service
- £200 after 30 years' service
- £300 after 40 years' service
- £400 after 50 years' service

Values in Action
The Values in Action scheme recognises staff who live by our values of: Compassion; Respect; Integrity; Collaboration and Excellence. Anyone can nominate a colleague who they believe has shown they live and work by one of our values. This is submitted either via online or a paper form. Individuals receive a thank you recognition card, a bookmark and a badge, to celebrate the value they have been recognised for.
Recognition Awards
In addition to the Awards outlined above, we also offer staff recognition awards to capture and celebrate any further work-related education or training obtained by staff. Our educational awards are celebrated 2-3 times a year, where individuals are invited to an awards recognition lunchtime event. Adhoc awards are also held by the QI and research teams in recognition of achievements.
Professional Awards
There are several professional Awards hosted throughout the year, including awards specifically for doctors, and AHPs. For more information, please contact your professional leads.
