Your Recognition
RECOGNITION: CELEBRATING YOU AND YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS
Every achievement matters. When your hard work is recognized and your contributions are celebrated, you feel more connected to your team, more motivated in your role and more satisfied with your career. OU Health’s recognition program honors exceptional achievement and service – acknowledging the dedication of individuals who go above and beyond in their roles. By recognizing these efforts, we foster a workplace where each employee feels valued, appreciated and inspired to bring their best every day.
OU Health’s recognition program offers meaningful ways to recognize and celebrate each other’s accomplishments and milestones. Connection and appreciation strengthen our culture and remind us what teamwork is all about – working together toward shared goals.
Ways to Recognize Your Colleagues
EGreetings
Send fun and thoughtful messages to acknowledge your peers’ achievements and special moments – because a kind word can make someone’s day.
Ovation Points
Leaders may award points to team members who demonstrate OU Health Way values. In addition to leader-awarded points, you will automatically earn points for the following:
- Welcome Points the first time you login to Ovation.
- Onboarding awards at 90 days and six months after your hire date.
- Birthday recognition on your special day.
- From time to time during specified company-wide celebrations or other events.

Redeem Your Recognition
Ovation points or service milestone credits can be redeemed to purchase merchandise as well as physical or virtual gift cards. Ovation points do not expire; however, points will expire upon separation from OU Health.
The OU Health Way Champion Award honors those who embody our OU Health Way values and make a strong impact on the lives of our patients and team members.
Each month, two OU Health Way Champions are recognized: one physician and one team member. These individuals inspire us all and demonstrate what it means to put Patients First while exemplifying Integrity, Relentless Excellence, Inclusion, Learning and Teamwork. You can nominate a colleague by visiting the OU Health Way page on The Hub.

Honoring OUr team
You deserve to be celebrated. OU Health annually recognizes employees for their commitment to continuous excellence and prioritizing patient care. Appreciation events such as OU Health Week, Holiday Week, Nurses Week and more serve to formally acknowledge and celebrate staff for their outstanding contributions. These moments remind us that we’re part of something bigger — a team dedicated to exceptional care and to each other. When you feel appreciated, you thrive — and when you thrive, our patients receive the exceptional care they deserve.
