A “Beyond Excellence Award” is a recognition program that honors individuals or teams who have gone “above and beyond” in their roles, demonstrating exceptional performance, dedication, and contributions. The specific criteria can vary by organization but often include outstanding service, teamwork, innovation, and positive impact on patients, customers, or the workplace. Examples include recognizing lawyers for commitment to diversity, nurses for patient care, or employees for going the extra mile in service and teamwork, as detailed by the Florida Justice Association
