Right Thing Awards
You have heard our “Do the Right Thing” slogan countless times, and you might wonder at what point the slogan translates into action?
We are so adamant about doing the right thing and proving it to people, we have implemented a “Right Thing of the Month” award to the most deserving individual. In most cases, the award will go to one of our employees, because that’s where we see the Right Thing happening on a regular basis. But if we see it elsewhere – among our customers, partners, colleagues or anywhere in the community – we’ll recognize it as the Right Thing of the month. Here is a list of previous award winners.
