Faculty of Health Professions Employee Milestones
At the Faculty of Health Professions, we know that our success is based on the skills, knowledge and commitment of our faculty and staff. We quite simply couldn鈥檛 operate without them. That鈥檚 why, in 2013, the Faculty launched the Employee Milestone Recognition Program. This program recognizes employees with 10 and 20 years of continuous service with the Faculty. Announced annually in December, award recipients receive a gift card to the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Bookstore.
