Each year we conduct our annual, company-wide Kickoff event. Over the last six years, it has become the way we cap off the previous year and launch into the new year.
One of my favorite happenings of the year is what takes place at the conclusion of every Kickoff. It’s our annual awards ceremony that culminates in the announcement of our Achievers Club. These are Team Members who deliver the best results while at the same time demonstrating our core values on a consistent basis.
This year, we had seven recipients. Beyond the recognition in front of the rest of the company, each member of the Achievers Club, along with a guest, will go on an all-expense paid group trip to Las Vegas.
Beyond the Achievers Club, we recognized 11 others for additional awards, including:
- Top Team of 2009 – Development Team on DAXKO Accounting (pictured below)
- Impact Players
- Execution & Customer Focus
- Sense of Ownership
These recipients all had a choice of prizes:
- New Years Resolution package, including iPod Nano with Nike armband, gift certificate to our local running store the Trak Shak, personal training session at the YMCA, and a spa treatment at Ross Bridge Resort
- Foodie package, including gift cards to four of Birmingham’s top restaurants (Bottega, Highlands Bar and Grill, Hot & Hot Fish Club, and Gianmarco’s) along with signed cookbooks from local celebrity chefs Frank Stitt and Chris Hastings
- Pimp Your Office package, including a Samsung 25.5 inch LCD HDTV Monitor, around-ear-headphones from Bose, and an iTunes gift card – a popular choice among our engineers…
Friday afternoon, we distributed the prizes at a quick ceremony. It was great to see all the worthy award winners collect their spoils. Congratulations to those that were recognized, and thanks for what you do for DAXKO and for our customers!
