Have you ever wondered how to recognize a colleague who went above and beyond to complete a project or the behind-the-scenes analyst who assisted the Sales team in closing a deal? We did too! We created the Spot Award program to “spot” these talented Genscapers and highlight them for their achievements and contributions. Through this program, employees are encouraged to nominate colleagues who are doing an exceptional job. Nominations are submitted to our Leadership Team, reviewed, and recipients are chosen through a unanimous vote. The recipients receive a public acknowledgement at the quarterly Town Hall. The cash award doesn’t hurt either!
Below is a sneak peek at a couple of our recent Spot Award recipients and the types of achievements that Genscape makes a point to recognize year round! Congrats to our recipients thus far and we look forward to highlighting our future Spot Award champs!
Recipient - Jason Fuchs
“When asked if he could “help” with the first ever Genscape 2015 Innovation Contest, not only did he agree to help, he ran the entire contest. Generously devoting his time and effort along with performing his day job, he designed the competition; provided resources and advice to the team; was the central go-to person for requests, inquiries, encouragement, timelines and resources; and organized the judging panel and presentations which ran to perfection. For your excellent organization and support of the Genscape Innovation Contest, and for putting up with Matthew and Deirdre’s “suggestions” all along the way, the Leadership team recognizes your effort and the entire Genscape Nation thanks you for your Contribution.”
Recipient- Reid Brown
“Since the start of his employment with Genscape, this individual “hit the ground running” and has gone above and beyond time and time again. Making sure the field agent equipment requests are processed without delay and to perfection: if something in the request looks unusual, he picks up the phone and calls the field agent to verify; after a request is processed, he calls to make sure it was received and is as expected; if there are problems with the equipment, he will educate himself on his own time and resources so he can assist the agent on site. In one particular instance, he worked with the field agent who was in a pinch, after hours, to assist with resolving RTU cell modem issues in Canada. He served to support him over the phone and then developed a guide on how to reprogram the modems in the field – something that is typically done only in the lab – so that the expense and disruption of shipping a monitor back the lab is omitted. And when asked to put together something that could illustrate the redesign progression of RTU monitors, he built the display himself and built another one like if for the IR/Visual monitors which are now used daily for training, testing, and sharing the Genscape story with customers and visitors. Simply put, this guys’ “tude” is amazing and for that we recognize your effort and the entire Genscape Nation thanks you for your Contribution.”
