Court Employee Appreciation Toolkit

 

Courts throughout the nation rely on the dedication, professionalism, and service of court employees to ensure the effective administration of justice. To recognize their invaluable contributions, we encourage courts to implement Court Employee Appreciation Week to celebrate and honor court personnel. By implementing Court Employee Appreciation Week, we aim to: Emphasize the value of court employees and their essential role in the justice system. Foster a culture of appreciation and recognition within the court system. Strengthen public awareness of the dedication and hard work of court employees.

 

This toolkit provides a variety of appreciation activities and recognition ideas for courts to implement and customize based on their workforce.
