The second annual °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Recognition Ceremony was held on Friday 12 December as a way to thank the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ workforce for all the hard work accomplished during the year.
Hosted by Director-General Osamu Motojima and Carlos Alejaldre, Deputy Director-General for Safety, Quality & Security, the celebration go off to a start with a video that retraced the year's progress in pictures and celebrated the work, effort and commitment showed at all levels of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project.
To recognize specific improvement contributions made in 2013-2014 to the project, a total of 27 commendations were given in three categories: cross-functional teams, improvements through the Ideas Network, and nominations—a new category added following a suggestion from staff, in order to enable them to thank their colleagues.
Commendation awardees (people or teams) were selected in a transparent process aligned to project priorities, as agreed by the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization directors at the Organizational Efficiency Steering Committee (OESC) and approved by the Director-General.
The Recognition Ceremony concluded with an end-of-the-year celebration in the lobby of the Headquarters building, where refreshments and holiday treats were offered.
