In response to the 2023 Employee Engagement Survey, we are thrilled to announce the launch of two new recognition programs, designed to celebrate and honor the exceptional efforts and achievements of our staff.
Kudos: Recognizing exceptional contributions
The first program, aptly named "Kudos," is a platform to highlight those individuals who consistently go above and beyond in their roles and make a positive impact internally or externally. Whether it's delivering outstanding results, demonstrating exceptional teamwork, or embodying our core values in every task, Kudos aims to acknowledge and celebrate those who truly make a difference.
Recipients of Kudos will be featured in a monthly InsideJMP article, highlighting their accomplishments and the positive impact they've made on our organization. This program is open to all – interns, contractors, and full-time employees – with the aim of fostering a culture of appreciation and recognition across every level and department. Anyone can submit a nomination using this link: Kudos Nomination Form
Spotlight Award: Honoring individual and team excellence
The second program, the Spotlight Award, takes recognition to the next level by inviting managers to nominate individuals and teams who exemplify outstanding performance and contribute significantly to our business objectives. These remarkable individuals and teams not only excel in their respective roles but also embody our organizational core values, driving innovation, collaboration, and excellence every step of the way.
Winners of the Spotlight Award will be celebrated during our quarterly company webcasts, where their achievements will be applauded by the entire organization and featured in an InsideJMP article. In addition to public recognition, recipients will receive well-deserved gift baskets as a token of our appreciation for their invaluable contributions.
All employees and year-round interns with at least six months or more of service are eligible. We will target up to four individuals and one team per quarter for a Spotlight Award.

A culture of recognition and appreciation
At JMP we understand that our success is driven by the dedication and passion of our people. These new recognition programs are just one way of demonstrating our commitment to fostering a culture of appreciation and support for every member of JMP. Also note that there is one more recognition program that we will be communicating at the Q3 company webcast. Stay tuned for more details on that program.
We encourage all employees to actively participate in these programs, whether it's by nominating a colleague for their exceptional efforts or by embodying the qualities of excellence and dedication that these programs seek to recognize. If you have any questions or would like more information about these programs, please don't hesitate to reach out to the JMP HR team. Together, let's celebrate the outstanding achievements of our team and continue to make JMP a great place to work.
@maria_astals thank you for asking! The Kudos nomination is open continually as we will highlight employees every month throughout the year. The Spotlight nomination process will be open to managers for two weeks every quarter. We will be accepting nominations for Q2 winners from now through June 14th, there will be a vetting process, and winners announced at next month's business update.
@Paul-Mastropolo is there a deadline to nominate?
