Share your thanks and appreciation for your fellow co-workers – including peers and leaders – in Bright People, Brilliant Solutions. Include photos and share your post with who you are honoring to make your recognition even more meaningful. Start posting at noon on Monday, October 28, 2024. For every post you create, you earn one entry into the daily random drawing for one of three $25.00 Amazon e-cards. Each daily drawing is held from all posts from that day only. Post daily and often for more chances to win. A co-worker can only win one e-card. We want to make sure we spread the fun around.
