Employee of the month vs colleague of the month
What is the difference? It's big!
At Webamp, we have a culture where team spirit outweighs anything else.
That's why we gather every Friday for the Friday meeting, where everyone votes for a colleague they think deserves to be captain of the week.
At the end of the month, it's time to crown the Colleague of the Month - an honourable title that goes to the employee with the most votes during the month. So it's the other colleagues who decide who is the most valuable colleague - not management.
And that's where the difference between employee of the month and colleague of the month lies. That it's about who adds the most value to the team - and not necessarily about who's best at their job on paper.
