Martin-Sulgan’s sentiment mirrors the company’s philosophy that “heart is more than something we have, it’s something we share,” the release said.
The company's senior manager – people business partner, Reneasha Simmons-Phillips said, “During the months of June and July, employees were encouraged to build on our culture of gratitude by showing their appreciation towards each other using the company’s online recognition platform, Celebrate You.

Also commenting on the initiative, Joanne Gay-Lord, manager – credit and collections said, “My team and I were very honoured to be recognised. We are thankful to our (vice president) for taking the time to motivate and encourage us to keep putting our best foot forward.”
