The purpose of the Success Contributor award is to give recognition to joint services personnel for contributions including high-quality work, use of new work practices, taking Aalto's values into consideration, cooperation, a focus on one's core tasks, and a sensitivity to the customer’s perspective. The award is presented twice a year. HR Manager Rita Heinrichs is happy to receive suggestions for the next award recipients.
