Human Resources

What defines innovation? Often, it means coming up with solutions to maneuver tight corners, navigate tough situations and overcome boundaries. Each year, UNC Charlotte recognizes an employee who has done just that: initiated research or successfully established new and outstanding methods, practices, plans or designs benefiting the University and the community. For this year, it was the efforts of not one individual but a cross-functional team recognized as recipients of the 2021 Employee of the Year Award for innovation.
