At Morrison Hershfield, one of our most highly anticipated events and long-standing traditions is the annual Carson Awards of Excellence ceremony. This year marks the 25th anniversary of this internal recognition program!
Our dynamic duo, Alex Cuffie in Building Science and Kendall Hughes, from Mission Critical Facilities hosted the ceremony live via video conference, at the Atlanta office.
Staff nominated their peers in an open process. Due to everyone’s exceptional work and contributions, 165 nominations were received. A panel of judges made up of our external clients from the host office, chose the winners. Judges commented that it was difficult to select just one winner, given all the impressive nominations.
“The Carson Award winners are influential leaders who seek challenges and treat clients’ needs as a top priority, which is aligned with our culture of performance and growth. Providing employees with meaningful work and projects that challenge and inspire, makes them excited to come to work every day,” said Dennis Comand, Director, Human Resources. “We provide people with opportunities and tools that support their success and career ambitions. Morrison Hershfield’s accomplishments are a direct reflection of our staff’s hard work, dedication and shared values.”
We broadcasted the event live to all offices and announced the winners on our Twitter account. Here is a full list of the 2018 Carson Award winners.
