B+A Awards Top Employees
OHIO STATE STAFF RECOGNIZED BY BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATION
COLUMBUS -- Forty-one staff members of The Ohio State
University have received awards for special achievement and
exemplary performance in the seventh annual Business and
Administration Staff Recognition Program. The announcement was
made by Janet G. Pichette, vice president for business and
administration.
The Business and Administration Award for Special
Achievement was presented in recognition of outstanding and
unusual achievements, performed for a special project or in
unique circumstances not likely to occur on a regular basis.
The Vice President's Award for Exemplary Performance was
presented to individuals setting examples for staff performance
every work day of the year. Qualities considered were skill,
dependability, consistent high performance, respect for co-
workers, and commitment to achieving the department's goals.
Business and Administration employs more than 1,200 persons
at Ohio State.
Group awards for special achievement were presented to the
Recognition Program Committee in the Office of Physical
Facilities and to the Online Wage/Software Development Team in
University Systems.
The Recognition Program Committee used Continuous Quality
Improvement principles -- a form of Total Quality Management --
to develop a program to recognize employees for their work
through meaningful awards. The program is expected to result in
employees taking extra steps to insure customers are satisfied
with the services provided by the Office of Physical Facilities.
Members were:
=FE Charlotte M. Hamrick, CIRCLEVILLE, supervisor, asbestos
abatement.
=FE Jane A. Tucker, COLUMBUS (43211), personnel technician.

The Online Wage/Software Development Team developed a system
to electronically enter and edit the university's payroll for
several thousand hourly students and intermittent staff members.
The shift from paper to computer eliminated hours of work for
many university staff in recording time sheet data onto wage bill
forms and transporting them to the Office of Human Resources and
eliminated the burden of paper handling by administrators there.

=FE Richard A. Hennacy, COLUMBUS (43212), programmer/analyst
senior.
=FE Gerd M. Ziermaier, COLUMBUS (43229), programmer/analyst
senior.

A group award for Exemplary Performance was presented to
members of the Reprographics Program Implementation Staff. The
Cop-ez Division of Reprographics implemented printing services
for the colleges of Business and Education and the Office of
Human Resources which enabled them to take advantage of a wider
range of printing, binding and other services than they had had
on their own. Together, the two colleges and the office lowered
their costs by more than $100,000 a year. The increased business
resulted in a 40 percent growth in volume for Cop-Ez.
Members of the group were:
