The King County Employee Giving Program Department Achievement Awards recognize departmental milestones in 4 categories: participation rate, overall dollars pledged, most improved from previous year, and the number of “new connections,” a.k.a new donors, that were made in a year.
The EGP is excited to recognize the following departments with 251 to 600 employees for their achievements:
Participation ( 2-way tie): Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS)
This is the eighth year in a row DCHS has had the highest participation in their departmental category. DCHS leads the way in making workplace giving an opportunity to build stronger teams, foster creativity, and engage employees. The extraordinary results speak for themselves. Way to go DCHS!
