Exceptional Team Award
February 2020 Recipient:
Meet February’s Exceptional Team. This crew from Building Services, Zone Maintenance and Plumbing Services stepped into swift action when part of the UT Conference Center experienced flooding issues back on January 7.
Building Services worked to fight the rising water until a host from Utilities and Zone Maintenance could get the drains to flow. This crew worked through lunch until the water was under control making trip after trip to empty hoppers full of water. Their quick action is a reflection of their value to #UTFacilitiesServices, not to mention the costs their quick response spared. Join us in thanking them for their service and congratulating them on receiving this well-deserved honor!
The Exceptional Team Award is presented to a Facilities Services team whose performance has extended beyond expectations and has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to help achieve the University’s mission.
A team can be designated as a particular subunit or unit, portion of a subunit/unit, or a combination of employees from a number of subunits/units.
Anyone can nominate a Facilities Services Exceptional Team. You can submit your nomination for Exceptional Team by using the online form or https://fs.utk.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/exceptionalform.pdf.
