Employee Recognition

Introduction

The Georgia Department of Corrections strives to recognize employee's commitment, service, and personal and professional accomplishments through scheduled award ceremonies during the year. GDC also recognizes outside agencies and partners that are instrumental to the success of the agency.

The various programs utilized to honor these employees and outside entities are the Central Office Quarterly Awards Programs, Public Employee Recognition Week Programs and the Departmental Annual Awards Program. There are also various programs at GDC locations across the state.
