661.0. "Awards for Excellence ... What is it?" by KBOMFG::POST (Veni Vedi Vinci) Mon Nov 14 1988 16:27

I have heard that Digital awards certain EXCELLENCE awards to employees
who have created something extraordinary. Can anyone explain what this
award system is about and what does it imply? Is it applicable to all
employees or only Product design engineering group. How does one nominate
a candidate?

Curios

661.3Excellence awards only for SWAS?KBOMFG::POSTVeni Vedi VinciTue Nov 15 1988 12:577
The entries in the mentioned notes conference were aimed at SWAS excellence.
Does the excellence award only apply to SWAS and FS? 

Could someone just post a simple answer without pointing to another
notes conference? Thanks.

    RE: .4
    
    	I like .4.   I remember when BM's got STOCK for performance,
    then it was branches, then units, now it's districts (in our area),
    next it'll be areas, then...well, I guess we'll ALL be good.  We
    got SOLID 10's in ALL catagories and, maybe the 1st unit(??) and
    well....nothing (even tho there's a McDonalds just 500 metres away!

    Victor,
    
    I suspect what you really want to know is if there is any typ of
    award (or reward) if you are "just" in marketing??? The answer is
    "No".

661.7Awards are irrelevant. It's the motivatorKBOMFG::POSTVeni Vedi VinciFri Nov 18 1988 15:1310

Heiri:

Nice to hear from an old friend. No it is not about the awards, nor for
marketing. If applicable, it is a great way to motivate people. I'm looking
more if it is applicable to storage systems, as I only saw indications about
Field Service and SWAS.

    I know that, within Storage Systems, Hans Gyllstrom has announced
    an Excellence program for Database Systems.  You might contact
    his secretary for information.

    WRONG!!
    
    The  Marketing  Excellence  Awards  exists  (at  least  in  the  US).
    Unfortunately I don't have with me the pamphlet  that describes them,
    but  of  what  I  remember there are three categories,  and  the  top
    category includes stock options as recognition.
    
    Do  feel  bad  about  not knowing about them, since I  have  been  in
    marketing for five years and I only learned about them this year when
    I changed jobs.

661.10Rewards & RecognitionWMOIS::A_STYVESFri Dec 16 1988 12:1925
    In the world of manufacturing here in Westminster, we in the OBU/CSMD
    have what we believe is the ultimate in award programs.  I am on a
    committee that is known as R & R which stands for Reward and
    RECOGNITION.  This committee is made up of 11 individuals representing
    various groups in the OBU.  Membership in this committee is open
    to ANYONE that is willing to represent their group.  It is requested
    that you agree to serve for 12 - 18 months.  Scattered around the
    are are located nomination forms and locked boxes.  ANYONE and be
    nominated except members of the R & R committee.  When we receive
    the ballots, one of us will interview whoever we feel we must in
    order to validate the accomplishments listed on the nomination
    papers.  We will then vote using agreed upon guidelines.  The 
    primary reward is in the form of cash but that is left to our
    discretion.  The beauty in this format is that when we have made
    our decision the form is submitted to cost center management only
    as an F.Y.I.  We have been given complete comtrol over the process
    and we take our responsibilities very seriously.  If I can be of
    any help to you please feel free to contact me.
