Employee of the Month Nomination Form
Make it easy for teams to recognize great work — and make sure the right people get credit.
Recognition programs only work if the nomination process is easy enough for people to actually use. This form gives managers and peers a quick, structured way to nominate a colleague — with enough context for the selection committee to make a meaningful decision.
The template covers the nominator's name, the nominee's name and department, the recognition category or criteria, a description of what the nominee did and why it deserves recognition, specific examples of the impact, and an optional supporting quote from a colleague or client.
A good nomination form captures stories, not just names. When the selection committee can read why someone deserves recognition rather than just that they were nominated, the decision is more thoughtful — and the recognition means more.
The broader the pool of nominators, the more representative the outcome. Peer nominations often surface recognition that managers miss. Allow anyone in the organization to nominate, with clear eligibility rules.
Tie criteria to your values or specific behaviors you want to reinforce — initiative, collaboration, customer impact, innovation. Include these criteria in the form so nominators write to them.
Rotate eligibility rules (previous winners can't be nominated again for 3 months) or create multiple recognition categories so different types of contributions get acknowledged.
Most programs don't allow self-nomination, but peer or upward nomination (nominating your manager) is worth considering. Add a question asking the nominator's relationship to the nominee so the committee has context.
The specificity of the example, the impact on the team or company, how well the nomination aligns with the stated criteria, and whether the recognition is new versus recognizing accumulated tenure.

Work From Home Request Form
A Slack message asking to work from home on Thursday isn't a request anyone can track, especially once the same employee has asked five different ways over a month. Collect the request type, dates or schedule, and manager approval in one place, so HR isn't reconstructing who's working where from a scattered inbox.

Return of Property Form
A property checklist stapled to an exit interview packet isn't a record anyone can rely on when a laptop turns up missing three weeks later. Collect itemized equipment details, condition at return, and a signed acknowledgment before an employee's last day, so IT isn't chasing down a laptop that already walked out the door.

Early Retirement Form
A retirement mentioned to a manager in conversation doesn't give HR anything to actually process, and if there's an incentive deadline attached, the date that conversation happened can matter more than anyone realized at the time. Collect what your HR team actually needs, employee information, requested date, and benefit elections, before a window closes.

Nationality Verification Form
A self-certification buried in a stack of new account paperwork isn't the kind of record a compliance team can rely on for a regulatory filing. Collect nationality, tax residency, and a signed declaration before an account opens, so compliance isn't chasing down a customer's citizenship status after the fact.

Policy Cancellation Form
A cancellation requested over the phone doesn't leave a clear record of exactly what date the policyholder actually asked for, and that date matters more than it sounds like it should. Collect what your agency actually needs, policy details, identity verification, and the requested effective date, before coverage actually ends.
