Has an employee or team accomplished work that falls outside of their normal role? Shown extraordinary effort and initiative? Performed with meticulous focus and follow-through in overcoming significant obstacles? Celebrate their achievements with a Platinum Award.

Honour the Extraordinary recipients can be nominated for Platinum Awards available in three levels: Platinum 1, Platinum 2 and Platinum 3. Each level represents a step up in insight, innovation and impact. A brief description of each level is found on the website.

Only managers can nominate an individual or a team. All employees are eligible to receive this prestigious award. However, unlike our other recognition levels of Bronze, Silver and Gold, these nominations are reviewed at a much higher level.

Nominations for a Platinum Award should be discussed with your HRVP, President and/or COO before the nominations are entered into the system. Once you gain verbal approval to proceed, you can enter the nomination into the system. Your HRVP has the authority to approve these nominations. The COO/COE of the business/function and/or country will also be informed of the actual nomination before approval is processed.

How to nominate for a Platinum Award: • Enter the employee you would like to recognise. • Select Recognition Type: Award Nomination. • Select Programme: Honour the Extraordinary. • Follow the on-screen instructions. You’ll answer a few questions about what’s being recognised and why, and the website’s nomination wizard will determine the award level (Platinum 1, 2 or 3). • Enter the Description of Achievement and Thank You message. • Select your business unit (for USA) or your country from the drop-down list, and the nomination will be sent to the appropriate HRVP for review.

You must add your RVP/business leader and HR Director to the CC (copy another person) field at the end of the nomination process. In addition, the employee’s line manager will automatically be notified of the nomination.

If approved by the HRVP, notification will be sent to the nominator, who will print a special Platinum certificate and present the award to the recipient. The recipient will have a choice of gifts from the Platinum catalogue, based on the Platinum level chosen.

How to view approvals and presentations (certificates) that are pending action from you: • Click on “Toolbox” on the home page. • Review any Pending Approvals that are listed. Note: You will also receive an email notification with a link to prepare the presentation certificate.

Here are suggestions for when to send a thanks and when to give a Spot, Achievement or Platinum Award: • Send an eCard when a co-worker’s effort makes you smile, or you want to say, “Nice job”. • Give a Spot Award when effort is above and beyond daily tasks. • Nominate for an Achievement Award when: • Critical deadlines are met in the face of a great challenge • Innovative ideas improve our business or operations • Achievements strengthen fiscal performance • Nominate for a Platinum Award when there is: • Successful completion of a large-scale, high-profile (i.e., press-worthy), -impactful event • Innovation or service excellence that has an extraordinary impact on our consumers, clients, workplace or the world around us (e.g., Cup Final) • Implementation of a several months-long initiative that significantly improves our operational excellence
