Auckland Business Awards’ Post

The Elites Awards did not disappoint 🏆 Here’s one thing they really promote. Always make time to recognise your success. Even if things aren’t going exactly to plan. It’s easy to think that when you’re not where you want to be. That everything is going wrong. To question your process, product and so on. But it’s important to find the parts that are going well. To acknowledge what is working. Stay consistent with that. Whilst working on the other aspects. Plenty of the winners mentioned this last week when taking their award. Acknowledging what is working, even when things are tough, isn’t toxic positivity. It’s not burying your head in the sand and ignoring challenges. It’s giving yourself the credit you deserve. Which helps you deal with the challenges you’re going through. Always make time to acknowledge your wins. No matter how big or small they are.

It is so easy to say "no" - Why not say yes? We have always strived to say YES whenever possible. Saying Yes is not always easy. For us it sometimes requires working late, rush shipping, and all kinds of stress behind the scenes. Why do we say yes? Imagine if you work hard to meet your goals and your employer is hosting a recognition ceremony to showcase all of the hard work of the top performers. What if they reach out to their awards supplier and were told NO! The deadline cannot be met, the item is out of stock, the production time is too long - and they are crazy for even asking. What if you are the one that shows up and does not receive that award? How does that make you feel? It's not always about the client, it's more about the receiver of that item. How will it make them feel? No matter how big or small, and sometimes the smaller orders, make the most impact, try saying yes! Now, I am not saying we can always say yes, but if it is remotely possible, maybe we should. We are not hero, the client is the hero, we are just the guide.

People often ask us why they haven’t won the awards that they’ve entered. We have a unique method of different types of award entrants and assigning them to different types of personas. Depending on which persona you are, will depend on the likelihood of you winning or not. We’ve put together 10 personas that relate to all different types of award entries and people that we’ve seen entering awards. Take the test to find out exactly which persona you are and let us know which one you got! https://lnkd.in/ebakm_gA

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.
