Last week, during our company's staff meeting, the winners for the company's MMXL award were announced. MMXL (Media Monitors Excellence Award) is my company's employee recognition award. It is held two times a year in each of the company's operating region (SEA, ANZ, China HK), and there are four awards given: best newcomer, above and beyond (best performance), best leader and best idea. By the end of the year, one global winner will be chosen for each of these award categories.
To my great surprise, I actually won the best newcomer last week! It was definitely a proud moment for me (and slightly embarrassing when one of the judges went on and on about the reasons I was chosen as the winner). I guess I was very luck to join the company just in time to be nominated for the award. Although I didn't think I should win given that I am still on probation, it was definitely a boost of confidence for me. I guess I must have done something right to be selected as the winner out of 5 nominees.
The global winners will be announced some time in December. I am not having high hopes in winning, again because I am really new to the company, so I don't think I have contributed enough compared to the other new but not-so-new employees. But I guess there is no harm in running that extra mile, just in case, if no decisions have been made yet, maybe I do stand a chance? If I really win the global award, that would be a super awesome way to end year 2011 :)
And then next year, I shall aim to win either the best performance or best idea award!
