The Employee of the Year was chosen from a pool of outstanding employees who had received individual recognition as Employee of the Month throughout 2009. A committee headed by the HR Manager and including representatives from both buildings and all departments chooses the staff member from anonymous nominations. Any full-time staff member can nominate or be chosen for these awards. Williams was the inaugural recipient of the monthly award when the program began in January 2009.
