PAWS TO YOU

Paws to You is an employee appreciation program designed to offer gratitude to a fellow coworker. Maybe they helped you complete a task or project and it made a large impact on the outcome. You can show them thanks and appreciation by sending them a Paw they are able to display for all to see in their email signature, and a running total of all Paws will be displayed here on the Paws to You website. So what are you waiting for?

Caitlin, I am sending you a PAW because of your persistence in this time of uncertainty. I am aware that most times things do not transition in this way however, I recognize how tough it is for things not to be clear and to continue to push forward. I can share that I appreciate you showing up, being introspective, and continuing to make UWP better. I look forward to the impact we will have and thank you for what you have done and continue to do. Keep up the GREAT work!!!
