CSS Employee Owner Receives National Institutes of Health Award
Congratulations to CSS Employee Owner Hannah Mazurek on receiving a Core Values Award for her support to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research and Services. The NIH recognizes Hannah “for her advocacy for use of the Lab Archives chemical inventory system, thus strengthening chemical safety and compliance.”
The Core Values Award at the NIH Office of Research Services awards ceremony is an employee recognition award that honors individuals or teams who exemplify the organization’s stated core values in their work and service to the NIH community.
The Office of Research Services core values include:
- Safety and Security
- Excellence
- Innovation
- Collaboration
The award is typically given to employees who demonstrate exceptional professionalism, customer service, leadership, teamwork, mission support, innovation, or dedication to NIH operations and research support.
Historically, Office of Research Services recognition programs and town halls have highlighted employees who embody organizational values and make significant contributions to NIH operations and customer support. Awards of this nature are rarely given to individual contractors and are typically given as part of a group. This distinction highlights the exceptional nature of the honor bestowed upon Hannah this year.
Great job to Hannah! CSS is honored to have such dedicated employee owners supporting our clients and their missions.
