At Continued, we have built a team of dedicated, passionate individuals who keep excellence at the forefront of all we do.
In order to recognize team members who go above and beyond to exemplify our core values, we introduced an excellence awards program to highlight these individuals who help us thrive as an organization.
Excellence awards are given on a quarterly basis through a peer-nominated process.
Recipients are recognized based on project achievements, innovations, system improvements, morale-building, and going above and beyond.
Excellence award recipients are celebrated company-wide and receive a monetary award and custom memento.
“We are excited to recognize these award recipients, who were nominated by their colleagues for dedication to the values we all hold dear,” said Asher Primrose, vice president of human resources.
