Miami encourages the recognition of excellent performance among employees. The Miami P.R.I.D.E. Award Program (which stands for Performance Resulting in Distinguished Excellence) is a monetary-bonus program for classified and unclassified staff.
Any employee can nominate another employee for a P.R.I.D.E. award, with departmental approval. Mostly commonly, managers nominate their employees for the award program.
A department that wishes to recommend an employee from a different department for a P.R.I.D.E. Award should contact HR or Academic Personnel for more information.
The P.R.I.D.E. Award Program budget is determined by the Senior Vice President for Finance and Business Services each fiscal year. Each division receives notification of their P.R.I.D.E. budget, which includes separate funds for classified and unclassified awards (i.e., funds from one pool may not be transferred to the other).
In regards to processing a P.R.I.D.E. Award for the Academic Affairs division, please see the Academic Personnel P.R.I.D.E. Award guidelines.
