CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
At City, University of London we value exceptional service. Both externally to our students and stakeholders, and internally across departments and Schools, working together to consistently provide a positive and rewarding experience.The WOW! Awards is a great platform to help recognise the excellent service our colleagues provide. We have now embedded City’s core competencies into the recognition scheme and have started an annual ceremony to bring us all together and hear each other’s touching stories. This has created a really positive environment and is another celebratory event which brings the City Community together
Louise Woodward, Directorate Operations & Projects Manager
City, University of London
The WOW! Awards has been a huge success for us in engaging and celebrating our teams. It enables us to further embed our customer values by recognising excellence when it happens and feeding this back to our frontline staff. This feedback not only serves to build morale and bring a smile to people’s faces as they go about their day, but it is also a reminder to continue to embody these values.
It has grown into a positive circle of feedback which has helped us to retain, reward and strengthen our team in an effortless, yet meaningful way.
Gemma Layton, Customer Experience Manager
Morrison Utility Services
Here at Trust Inheritance we wanted to recognise the great work our employees do every day and let them see that what they do does make an impact. So, we joined forces with The WOW! Awards back in 2014 and have gone from strength to strength since then!! It’s great to see all the positive nominations and feedback from our customers every month with August 2018 being our best month so far this year.
The support we receive from The WOW! Awards team has always been fantastic and we hope to carry on receiving the recognition our employees deserve via customer nominations.
