recognition awards scheme.
The
B&Q Recognition Awards are designed to reward members of staff that have
shown dedication or excellence across the business.
The
awards are split into three categories: the Big Hero, the Best of the Best and
the Big Thank You to reward different attributes among the 30,000-strong
workforce.
The
winner of the top award was presented with a fully paid year off and £10,000,
while other winners were given £10,000 or £5,000 worth of home makeover
vouchers.
HR
director Mike Cutt said the awards ceremony was designed to provide a bigger
stage for the company to show its appreciation to employees.
