Rhodar 2024 IPOE Values Awards - Recognising staff contributions across the country
Posted on in Company News
Our annual IPOE Values Recognition Awards presentations took place last week, as we hosted 200 colleagues and special guests at Oulton Hall, in Leeds, for our 2024 Conference.
Rhodar’s ‘In Pursuit of Excellence’ (IPOE) programme sits at the very heart of our business … our seven key IPOE Values help guide our culture and how we communicate, interact and support each other.
Each year we recognise the contribution and the stand-out performances of our staff and teams through the Awards.
Open to all our 500+ workforce, the awards are independently judged by a panel of industry specialists, who also joined us at the Conference to present each award. This year we received a fantastic 213 nominations!
Following the success of our new format last year, we once again invited seven guest speakers to provide their thoughts on each of our IPOE Values before the presentation for each award. A big thank you to Kevin Webber, Holly Bentham, Simon Schofield, Faye Harrison, Ben Higgens, Don Slee and Roddy Smith for giving such a great range of insightful, inspirational and engaging presentations which really helped set the scene for each of our 7 awards.
… and special thanks to our judging panel, Graham Galloway, Simon Schofield, Angela Baker and Paul Shillitto, for selecting our winners and runners-up…..which proved a challenging task this year with so many excellent nominations.
