Montreal and New York City, May 3rd, 2010 — Rideau, leader in employee recognition solutions, was honoured at this year’s annual Recognition Professionals International (RPI) conference award ceremony with the Excellence in Education Award.
Rideau received the Excellence in Education Award for its belief and commitment towards the Certified Recognition Professionals (CRP) program. Today, almost all of Rideau’s executives and day-to-day recognition leaders hold recognition’s most prestigious professional designation.
Created by Recognition Professionals International (RPI), the four course CRP program teaches active recognition personnel how to design a recognition program ideally tailored to an organization’s specific needs. CRP also demonstrates ways to align recognition strategies to business objectives and culture, and focuses on measuring the impact of a recognition program as processes are improved.
“It’s such an honour and a great surprise for Rideau to receive the Education Award. It is thanks to all our employees that worked so hard to receive the certification. I am lucky to work with such an outstanding team!” said Peter Hart, Rideau President and CEO.
“Rideau is a great company whose commitment and leadership in the recognition field is outstanding!” said Lisa Massiello, President of RPI’s Board of Directors.
