Re: Advent calender
It's causing all sorts of unhappiness across the country. Imagine a scenario where on the same day one worker got £50 worth of vouchers and another worker got a water bottle.
Some workers are asking how this is fair. And what happened to the previous scheme that saw money being paid out to workers.

Re: Advent calender
We’ve had ours opened consistently. I won a £25 voucher on the first day. Prizes seem to have gone downhill from there though — the £10 voucher won by one of my workmates seems a bit stingy/insulting imho, the Christmas jumper won by someone else seemed so thin it looked threadbare, and the Bluetooth speaker my colleague won is laughable. Not sure if the value of the prize is somehow linked to how busy a day it really was on the day your performance (according to MyPerformance) was the office best?

Re: Advent calender
The advent calendar is very unfair . Most people are working to the best of their abilities and trying hard to get things done this time of year .
Everyone should be treated equally.
If someone suffers from anxiety and they are doing the best they can , how will they feel if someone eles wins prizes .it will probably make them feel they are not good enough.
This time of year we are all doing our best and working harder people should not be singled out . When we are all doing our best .

Re: Advent calender
It's a joke. The perennial sickie guy won the £50. I won a water bottle which to be honest I need a new one to pee in the back of the van.

It’s an unfair reward scheme with unclear targets.

I can't believe any of you even care. It's passed by almost unnoticed in our office.

Re: Advent calender
Is it true you can't be registered as the best performer to qualify for one of the prizes if you don't drive a van equipped with a Trimble tracking device, as there is no safety score recorded on your PDA data? If true, that is really unfair. The majority of the van fleet in our office is 15 years old and these vans were never fitted with Trimble.

Re: Advent calender
Our office has a daily draw, everyone's name in a bag and one picked out every morn, seems the fairest way, only down side is theres over 40 people in our place and just 24 prizes, so half will miss out completely..

Re: Advent calender
Ours is based on your performance and SISO. So if, for example, not naming names, you are not a driver and deliver to a really sh** area with no safe places to dump parcels and you were one of the half dozen in your office that a SISO glitch affected 6 weeks ago, you ain’t getting nothing.
