Positive Workplace Service Awards (2025)

Objective

The 'Positive Workplace Service Awards' ('the PWS Awards') Scheme, launched by the Committee on Positive Workplace and Staff Development ('the PWSD Committee'), is a biennial initiative. There are both PWS (Individual) Awards and PWS (Team) Awards under the Scheme, which aim to enable staff recognition not only for the exemplary work outcome but also the individual behaviour and team practices that are conducive to nurturing a positive work culture and climate, as well as achieving 'Positive Performance Management' (PPM) and 'Workplace Courtesy and Civility' (WCC) at work. It covers all staff of different jobs and departments/ units. Nominations can be made by staff or students. Self-nomination is accepted for the PWS (Team) Awards only.
