Five randomly selected Duke employees are eligible for "golden ticket" prizes, including men's basketball tickets. To see if you're a winner, check your personal data through the Duke@Work self-service website.

Are you who you think
you are?

Beginning this week as part of a new "Check Yourself" campaign, all Duke
staff and faculty are asked to go to the "My Profile" section of the Duke@Work
self-service website
to review and update personal data and information.

Those who check their
personal information - including work and home addresses, phone numbers,
race/ethnicity, county of residence and dependent information - may learn
they're one of five lucky "golden ticket" winners. Winners can redeem golden
tickets for prizes, including a pair of tickets to a Duke men's basketball
game.

"Faculty and staff
who haven't looked at their personal information in the Duke@Work self-service
website may be surprised to find that some of their information may be
inaccurate or incomplete," said Kyle Cavanaugh, vice president for
administration. "Over time, home and work addresses or phone numbers change and
are not always updated in our system. For example, last year, about 10 percent
of all open enrollment packets were returned because of bad addresses."

As part of the
campaign, which runs through Sept. 20, a golden ticket has been added to the
personal information for five randomly selected individuals. The prizes are the
men's basketball tickets, a $200 gift certificate to a show at the Durham
Performing Arts Center, a 50-minute deep-tissue massage at Duke Integrative
Medicine, a night's stay for two and breakfast at the Washington Duke Inn &
Golf Club and a piece of basketball floor from the 2010 NCAA Championship. 

Individuals must
check all of their personal data fields to learn if they have one of the five
golden tickets. Those who find a golden ticket should call the Human Resources
Information Center at (919) 684-5600
to redeem the ticket for one of the
available prizes. Golden ticket holders are offered prizes on a first-come,
first-served basis.

As faculty and staff
review their information, they're also encouraged to review and include
information for two new fields for "work cell phone" and "other cell phone" to
receive a text message in the event of an emergency. Numbers for all
Duke-purchased cell phones and those previously registered for emergency text
messaging have been transferred to Duke@Work. Cell phone numbers will not
appear in the online directory, unless staff or faculty members list that as a
primary work number.
