22ND/December 2022, PFR organized & held a corporate Retreat with all staff from head office and field offices. It was an interesting and diverse way to bring together team members in an organization. A way to bring teams closer and build a strong cohesive culture within our organization. The party mood was high with an immense joy to see all staff merry with greater compatibility & camaraderie hence promising post-retreat improved productivity. Such an annual event result in many benefits like building connectivity for teams, boost morale and give the organization greater ROI through increased motivation, innovation and productivity.
In amid of the event, there came another occasion to select & reward the best employee of the year 2022 It is a title that Prison Fellowship Rwanda bestowed upon an employee (or multiple employees) to mark their exceptional work, contribution, behavior, and/or success.
There’s nothing better than having someone (especially your employer) take notice of your effort, it can make your day, put a smile on your face, and boost your sense of connection to an organization. That’s a big reason why having an ‘Employee of the Year’ or ‘Employees of the Year’ award makes so much sense. After all, an employee recognition event is designed to highlight someone’s outstanding contribution, which leads to myriad benefits for the individual, the team, and, importantly, the employer as well.
