The impact recognition has on teams and the amplification of their projects is hugely motivating, enabling them to achieve even more.
As Domenico D’Ambruoso, Growth Academy Director, Sodexo explains:
“August Recognition have done a fantastic job of getting our global learning programme recognised for its innovative success and outstanding return on investment for our teams, our organisation, and ultimately, our customers. They partnered with us to select the entries that would resonate with key stakeholders and crafting entries which clearly articulated our value and impact. August have enabled us to win some of the most prestigious awards in the world, and we can’t wait to continue our successful journey as we keep on innovating and setting industry standards.”
Supporting Samsung with Awards Impact Workshop
Donna was invited to deliver a bespoke Awards Impact Workshop to global tech giant, Samsung.
Like many businesses, they needed support to identify the great awards from the not-so-great, and for their international teams to be able to identify and communicate their impact through a winning strategy for business awards.
Annalyz Fraser, Senior CSR & Sustainability Manager, Samsung Europe, said:
“The Awards Impact Workshop was an energising and insightful session for our international teams at Samsung Electronics. It helped us understand how to recognise the true impact of our work and gave us a clearer strategy for leveraging awards to drive future growth and team pride. A huge thank you to Donna for guiding us through such an inspiring session.”
