After a years-long hiatus of one of Texas Children’s most beloved events, long-tenured team members and recipients of special awards will receive the red-carpet treatment in February when the Employee Recognition Celebration (ERC) returns with the largest number of honorees in history at a new venue.
More than 2,200 team members will be honored at the 2024 ERC, held on February 27 at Minute Maid Park for employees who reached a significant career milestone of 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 years of service in 2020, 2021, 2022, or 2023.
Team members who received a special award in 2020, 2021, 2022, or 2023 will also be honored at the ERC this February – including Best of the West, Caught You Caring, Shining Star, and Super Star recipients system-wide.
‘We’re planning a celebration unlike any other our team members may have seen, heard about, or experienced in the past, filled with the same warmth and appreciation that has always made the celebration so special,’ said Executive Vice President and CHRO Linda Aldred, who has participated in nearly every ERC since the event began at Texas Children’s more than 30 years ago.
Additional information about the ERC, including the full list of honorees and program schedule, will be provided to participants and shared via Connect as the big day approaches.
‘As our system grows to serve more communities and families, it is more important than ever to cherish the values and traditions that have made Texas Children’s an incredible place to give and receive care for generations,’ Aldred said. ‘The Employee Recognition Celebration has always reflected the best of who we are.’
