The procedure we will be using to track each employee(s) point is through an online database. We trust the employee to honestly fill out all the information on the Points Request Form before submitting to the WRC front desk. An employee of the WRC will then enter each individual’s points into the database.
Incentives- the point system is a way for the employees to track and be rewarded for their progress throughout the semester. Reaching certain milestones will grant the opportunity for individuals to receive incentives for their accomplishments.
Tier Incentive System
- 10 points – Free Item from the Juice Bar
- 25 points – WRC Goodie Bag Item
- 50 points – WRC Spirit Gear Apparel
- 75 points – Gift Certificate

Special events- Employees are allowed to have fun too. Come out and enjoy an event that is designated specifically for the employees of Delaware State University. Focused around health and wellness, the WRC will host an event sure to get your blood flowing, but keep you smiling at the same time.
