GreenSquareAccord has announced receiving 254 nominations for their Gold Star Awards, describing this as an impressive 42% increase over last year’s entries. However, this claim seems somewhat underwhelming, especially considering their workforce size and the upcoming expenditure for the awards ceremony. To put this in perspective, with an employee base ranging between 1,000 and 5,000, the 254 nominations represent only about 5.08% to 25.4% of their total staff. Last year’s nominations, calculated to be around 179, indicate a low participation rate. Moreover, it is important to note that these nominations are solely from staff members, with no input from customers or residents. This exclusion is disheartening, particularly considering the crucial role that customers and residents play in the organisation’s operations. Their feedback and recognition would provide a more comprehensive and authentic measure of performance and service quality. When considering the costs associated with organising and hosting an awards ceremony, including logistics, venue, awards, and lost productivity, one must question the efficiency and impact of this exercise. The expenditure seems extravagant and not necessarily reflective of broad recognition across the organisation. Given these figures and the lack of customer/resident involvement, it's crucial to consider whether the awards genuinely enhance morale and recognition or if they simply serve as a costly tradition with limited reach. In light of these numbers, the resources allocated to the Gold Star Awards might be better invested in more impactful employee and customer engagement initiatives, or better yet spent making the homes of their residents safe, warm and dry.

Hall of fame

Uncomfortable is how I would describe myself as it pertains to speaking about myself or my accomplishments. That is why I would like the focus of this post to be about my colleagues and organization as a whole.     During my time at Top Hat, I have always felt appreciated and that my contributions to the organization, my colleagues, and our partners have received more than ample recognition. My accomplishments can be attributed just as much to my team, colleagues, and leaderships as they can to me. Last week, I was surprised and humbled to receive the Top Hat Unsung Hero Award for our Customer Success Team.     Receiving this award speaks to the amazing culture at Top Hat. To recognize someone as an "unsung hero", who feels that they are thoroughly appreciated is a testament to how much Top Hat cares about its people.     Find a company that appreciates its people so much that they recognize someone who already feels highly valued. Find a company where your CEO records the award presentation to send it to you, your VP gets you to climb a fence, and another VP lends you their extra glasses (or other random items you forget). Find somewhere that a friend says such nice things about you that you are embarrassed while your other friends celebrate for you. #TopHatProud

Reminder: the winners are often the last ones standing. 🏆 It isn't always about being the best ALL the time. Whilst it's important to provide value, it's also important to show up consistently. Winners aren't one-hit-wonders, they're the ones who were able to show out regularly. Don't be discouraged by a lack of uptake, engagement or recognition. Eventually it will come if you're able to stay standing the longest. The 1% you can complete every day will eventually add up to 100%. Keep going! #ThoughtOfTheDay #HighPerformance

🌟 What an inspiring reflection from our CEO, Harold Landers! 🌟 It's truly uplifting to see our leader prioritize the success and growth of others amidst a world often focused on individual achievements. Harold's recent encounter with one of our Directors beautifully highlights the essence of effective leadership – it's about empowering and uplifting those around us, rather than seeking personal accolades. As this Director so eloquently expressed, true fulfillment is found in witnessing the progress and achievements of our team members. It's a powerful testament to the impact leaders can have on their teams' growth and success. Harold's post serves as a poignant reminder that our life's purpose often lies in the positive influence we have on others. Creating an environment where everyone can thrive and succeed together is key. Let's take a moment to reflect on how we, too, can prioritize the success and well-being of those around us. How can we contribute to fostering a culture of support and empowerment in our own spheres? Thank you, Harold, for sharing this insightful perspective. Here's to embracing a mindset where being a winner means lifting others up! 🚀 #Leadership #Empowerment #Success #Teamwork #RosieCares
