DBRs, please review and respond accordingly to the information below.  Do not reply to this email.  Please
send a separate email with questions to benefits at ucr.edu<mailto:benefits at ucr.edu>.

The UCR campus will introduce new Retirement Gift Program vendors, MTM Recognition Awards and Corporate Traditions Gift Card services who will replace OC Tanner services for the retirement gift program effective April 1, 2025.  Additionally a new campus Retirement Gift Program policy will be implemented on April 1, 2025 which will be discussed after the Corporate Traditions training session. This change is based on new policy surrounding employee recognition options and vendor supply challenges.

In preparation for this transition, the new vendors will offer a training session to view and learn about the new administrator's site and processes on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.  We must also create a Master List of authorized administrators and request each department representative responsible for managing the retirement gift program and assisting retiring employees with gift selections to please send an email with the Name, Department and Contact information to benefits at ucr.edu<mailto:benefits at ucr.edu> by Wednesday, March 12, 2025 to be added to the Master List.  Once department representatives' information is received, we will send a ZOOM calendar invitation for the training sessions.

We ask that you save the dates below to attend the important training events.


     *   MTM Recognition  will host training on Wednesday, March 19, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.


     *   Corporate Traditions will host training on Wednesday, March 19, 2025 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

 Your assistance and participation is greatly appreciated
