Service Group Recognition Card

The first level of the Finance Recognition Program is the recognition card. We have all experienced a situation where someone helps you and you think to yourself, "Wow! That was really nice of them to do that." A recognition card to acknowledge colleague-to-colleague assistance, a kind gesture, a good attitude, or going the extra mile is a great way to show your appreciation. Recognition cards are available with a number of titles from You Rock! to Kudos! and are available in each department.
