The revision of this policy is part of a continuous improvement process initiated by an engagement survey conducted in 2023.
Brossard’s municipal council officially adopted a revised workplace recognition policy at its November 12 meeting. This new policy aims to value the work of municipal staff and cultivate an environment that recognizes their daily contribution to maintaining the quality of life of citizens and the dynamism of the City.
Recognition as a lever for growth and well-being
Brossard’s mayor, Doreen Assaad, said: “Brossard is a growing city, and that’s thanks to the invaluable work of our employees. Every day, their commitment and professionalism help build a welcoming and supportive community. By adopting this recognition policy, we are affirming our desire to highlight their essential contribution, because our collective success also depends on their well-being.”
A policy based on employee values and needs
The revision of this policy is part of a continuous improvement process initiated by an engagement survey conducted in March 2023, where recognition was identified as a priority. This, combined with the selection of “recognition” as one of Brossard’s five core values, motivated the city to thoroughly review its approach to human management and employee recognition.
During consultations held in May, representatives from each department shared their ideas and vision for a policy that reflects the current realities and needs of Brossard’s teams. The final proposal, enriched by feedback from employees and the management team, enabled us to build a policy rooted in listening and collaboration.
Recognition policy objectives
This policy aims to establish management practices that encourage a culture of recognition that is inclusive, humane and engaging. It is based on the following principles:
- Support a culture of recognition that values individual and collective success;
- Create a strong sense of belonging through formal and informal recognition initiatives;
- Promote a quality of work life that recognizes career milestones and individual achievements;
- Encourage all members of the organization to actively participate in this culture of recognition, whatever their role.
