Global winners
Working together Carla Strong
Inspiring colleague Natasha Gardner
Carla is the person you want to go to whenever you need some information or have a problem, or if you’re a fresh face at NCC looking for a little guidance. Along with mentioning her infectious positive energy, her nominators said that Carla is a fount of all knowledge on office administration, facilities management, delivery operations, and any other way she can support colleagues. Her commitment to ensure that everyone has support means she truly is an #NCCDiamond.
Beyond her role as a Technical Pre-Sales Engineer, she is chair of our Gender colleague resource group, a Mental Health First Aider, a member of the UK Colleague Forum, and host of our internal podcast series, NCC Untitled. As her nominators said, she manages each of these responsibilities with an unfailingly positive attitude and puts her heart and soul into everything she does.
Embracing difference Charlotte Tanner
Inspiring people manager Ben Mitchell
When her secondment to Sydney was prevented by the Covid-19 pandemic, she still took on the responsibilities of her new Business Partner role, despite being unable to relocate. This meant supporting the APAC team with long, unsociable hours across two time zones! Those who nominated her spoke of her appreciation of cultural differences and acknowledgement and respect of colleagues’ diverse perspectives on issues. This, combined with her flexibility, empathy, and commitment to going above and beyond, has resulted in several brilliant outcomes for her team.
Ben Mitchell was recognised as the global winner of the NCC Diamonds inspiring people manager award for his caring, positive and empathetic attitude. Those who nominated him mentioned his genuine care for those he manages, his extraordinary support and encouragement, and his willingness to go above and beyond for those who need his help.
Brand ambassador Tim Anderson
Being brilliantly creative aschmitz
Our brand ambassador award acknowledges those who love sharing the brilliant things people get up to across the business. Our global winner, Tim Anderson, kept his network in the loop on recent research, new partnerships, expert insights, and the latest NCC Group news with an unparalleled number of shares. His commitment to letting people know what’s going on at the Group makes him a true #NCCDiamond.
aschmitz was nominated several times for being brilliantly creative, but one example stands out in particular. When we moved to a new system in North America, aschmitz was quick to notice that colleagues required greater functionality than was initially built in. Realising that the data required for the functionality was available to them, aschmitz worked around the clock to develop a tool that would help colleagues use the new system and continue their work uninterrupted. This brilliantly creative idea is a great example of how they jump on opportunities to find solutions and help others.
In addition to colleague nominations, CEO Adam Palser selected Sourya Biswas as the recipient of the CEO choice award. Nominated by a significant number of colleagues for a variety of different reasons, Sourya’s impact is felt across NCC Group. Known for delighting customers through brilliantly creative solutions to problems, his expert insight is invaluable. He provides support and guidance for colleagues through guides on technical processes, by setting an admirable example, and by encouraging colleagues to be the best they can be through thoughtful feedback. His speaking engagements and publications demonstrate his great knowledge and provide new opportunities to engage with customers and prospects.
