Why we celebrate success

Excellence awards & why we celebrate

 

For the last 3 years, we have celebrated outstanding teams and colleagues who have been recognised for consistently demonstrating our core values. These colleagues act as role models for us all and  create the positive environment that we all enjoy to work within.

All the time we are seeing how a business develops by means of 'reward and recognition' which is essential if we are to succeed to the next level.

The ultimate companies are the ones where the staff feel personally part of that company, that's why it's essential we engage our teams with this concept.  Ultimately, this is achieved through recognition, respect and acknowledgement of a job well done.

This leads me to our excellence awards 2017: 

The awards recognise outstanding achievement where First Bus people have excelled over the last year; gone above and beyond and done a fantastic job.

They  recognise people and teams who live the company’s values: committed to customers, dedicated to safety, supportive of each other, accountable for performance and setting the highest standards.

Anyone in First Bus can nominate colleagues for an award across 15 categories. The nomination process couldn’t be easier: pick a category; nominate a colleague or a team; write a few words about why they should win; and click submit.

For each nomination received, First Bus will donate £5 to Prostate Cancer UK.
