The Human Resources Division coordinates the annual Commonwealth of Massachusetts Performance Recognition Program.
This program gives formal recognition to Commonwealth employees who make meaningful contributions, which distinguish them from their peers. These special awards focus attention on consistent, positive achievements by both individuals and teams of state employees, and recognize those who demonstrate: innovation and dedication to their work, concern for the public trust and a commitment to excellence.
Awards are given in four categories:
- Commonwealth Citation for Outstanding Performance
- Eugene H. Rooney, Jr. Public Service Award
- Manuel Carballo Governor's Award for Excellence in Public Service
- Commonwealth of Massachusetts Workforce Mentoring Award
