Getting to know colleagues from various backgrounds will help you exchange knowledge and share different insights. (3) Taking risks: Always remember that you know a lot more than you think you know. You still need to be put in a situation to discover those skills. So, once you fail, embrace this failure and step up again. Fall seven times, stand up eight!

Employee motivation plays a vital role in the success of any organization as motivated employees tend to be more engaged, productive, and committed to achieving their objectives. One way to increase employee motivation is through recognition programs such as the Employee of the Month award.

According to a survey, 83% of employees are driven to work harder when being recognized for their job. It shows that rewarding employees for their efforts can efficiently boost employee productivity and self-esteem.

The TKI People Awards series features the employees and teams recognized by The KPI Institute (TKI) for going above and beyond expectations, excelling as team players, and creating a tremendous impact on the company.

The recipients of the TKI Employee of the Month award in December 2022 shared in an interview their thoughts about the recognition and their best TKI work-related accomplishments.

We always support each other and provide assistance when needed.

Recognizing excellence: The KPI Institute announces employee of the year

March 22nd, 2023 Posted by Awards, Employees 0 thoughts on “Recognizing excellence: The KPI Institute announces employee of the year”

The KPI Institute, a global research institute specializing in business performance, has announced the winner of the TKI People Awards for Employee of the Year 2022. The TKI People Awards recognize employees and teams who go above and beyond expectations, excel as team players, and create a tremendous impact on the company.

Teodora Gorksi, Managing Director – MENA, is the recipient of the Employee of the Year award. She has not only excelled in her job but also contributed significantly to the growth of the organization. She was praised by Adrian Brudan, Managing Partner at TKI, for her “relentless efforts, support offered to the team, and excellent results achieved.”

Let’s find out what her life and work principles are.

What does receiving the Employee of the Year award mean to you?

Teodora: I always like to tell a story about myself. Starting with my childhood, I was always trying to be one step ahead. It began with a story about finding Neverland, winning first prize in school, going to the math Olympics, and being captain of the volleyball team. Growing older made me realize that it is more than that. Being ahead means creating something great, trusting people, putting passion in what you do, keeping your family and friends near, learning from many, teaching more, encouraging everyone, and finally, never forgetting that when you were a child, you thought everything was possible. Well, it still is. This has always inspired me to bring motivation, passion for what I do, knowledge and an open heart and mind to what I do. I am a proactive learner, and I always feel the motivation and commitment towards personal and professional development while leaving my personal contribution and legacy in the things I get involved.

What’s your favorite accomplishment so far at TKI?

Teodora: I would include among them, opening operations in a new region and fostering positive work and personal relationships with my colleagues, a lot of which I can call my friends, and some are even part of my family. Together, we established a strong foothold in the region and created a collaborative work environment that led to remarkable results.

When you’re faced with a challenge at work, how do you find a solution?

Teodora: “Have a break, have a KitKat.” 😊

Or, if you want something more serious:

‘”Believe you can, and you’re halfway there.” – Theodore Roosevelt

What would be the three main career lessons that you have learnt thus far?

Teodora: I’d like to mention four based on Luthans’ four positive attributes:

Hope – Embrace hope as a driving force to set goals, create a roadmap, and stay self-motivated with willpower and waypower to reach your destination.
Efficacy – Develop efficacy by cultivating the conviction to execute tasks with excellence in any given situation. Believe in yourself, and let your confidence shine through.
Resilience – Cultivate resilience as an indispensable trait that enables you to bounce back and overcome any setback, disappointment, or success.
Optimism – Harness the power of optimism to propel you forward toward success. Optimism creates a positive outlook and a belief in the possibilities of achieving your goals. Let this positive energy fuel your happiness, perseverance, and success.

  1. What does receiving the Employee of the Month award mean to you?

  1. How do you find a solution when you are faced with a challenge at work?

  1. What would be the three main career lessons that you have learned thus far?

Shaza Bsat

Marketing Manager

ILMS

 

  1. What does receiving the Employee of the Month award mean to you?

Shaza: I will always remain grateful to my coworkers for considering me for the Employee of the Month award.  In light of the acknowledgment of my efforts, I am more committed than ever to contributing my full potential to the success of the organization. Working in ILMS, where every new idea is heard and nurtured, has been a wonderful experience for me.

  1. What’s your favorite accomplishment so far at TKI?

Shaza: One of my proudest moments as a Marketing Manager for ILMS and LMSL was participating in the rollout of both organizations, including all their centers and labs. I carried out market research, conducted interviews with potential customers, and developed an overall launch strategy.

In addition, my coworkers relied on me to manage several distinct marketing streams, each with its own unique set of tasks and responsibilities.

However, the greatest achievement I can think of is being part of the most incredible marketing team and getting to know all those wonderful people. Whenever their team needs them, marketers are always there to step up.

  1. How do you find a solution when you are faced with a challenge at work?

Shaza: Cultural differences make working at a young startup an intriguing experience. Working together over the past year has shown me that having a team with such varied cultural tendencies can be challenging. But it also has a lot of benefits and opportunities. Working in a startup is a fantastic way to gain experience in a variety of fields, discover your ideal working conditions, and launch a successful career. 

Something I have learned is to always remind myself that my efforts are serving a cause I care deeply about and believe in. I always have faith in my abilities and know that I have the support of my teammates.  Adopting a “growth mindset” has been the most effective way for me to overcome any obstacles and challenges.

  1. What would be the three main career lessons that you have learned thus far?

Shaza: As you might imagine, working at ILMS is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. The lesson I have learned is that education is lifelong and ongoing. Throughout your career, you will inevitably come across individuals with more relevant work experience than you do. The knowledge and wisdom of those more experienced can be invaluable to your own development. You can become a well-rounded, knowledgeable, and content person if you have a growth mindset throughout your life. 

I have realized that working and improving as a team is the key to professional success as well. Certainly, I am responsible for my own tasks but the progress of enterprises depends on the efforts of a dedicated team. In order to be successful, large-scale projects require input from multiple stakeholders.

One last thing I have picked up is faith in the strength of defeat. A new opportunity for self and career improvement is presented with every setback. Nothing beats experience to learn what doesn’t work. Successes and setbacks alike can be viewed as stepping stones on the path to eventual mastery. You get to decide the lessons you learn from setbacks.

 

 

Islam Salahuddin

Data Analyst

  1. What does receiving the Employee of the Month award mean to you?

Islam: I highly appreciate it as a sort of recognition and more importantly as feedback, which is essential to individual and organizational development.

  1. What is your favorite accomplishment so far at TKI?

Islam: My favorite accomplishment so far at TKI is working on TKI’s first global index for government performance. I had the opportunity to practice many of my skills and learn new ones. The project involved critical thinking and problem solving as well, two sets of skills that I always welcome to sharpen. 

  1. How do you find a solution when you are faced with a challenge at work?

Islam: I recognize that challenges are an integral part of the learning process. I give myself first the space to reflect on the challenge and find a way to overcome it. Also, I look for help! Whether referring to online communities or colleagues, asking for help when needed always has a learning benefit.

  1. What would be the three main career lessons that you have learned thus far?

Islam: First, it is okay to be uncertain. Second, it is normal to feel overwhelmed. Third, what may help with the previous two lessons is to be flexible, adaptable, and a little more resilient.

  1. What is your favorite accomplishment so far at TKI?

Soha: We are making huge progress in our startup so far. Having a full business created from an idea is making me more excited about my role at TKI.

  1. How do you find a solution when you are faced with a challenge at work?

Soha: Every time I face challenges at work, I always search for new techniques that would help me cope with a particular challenge, and this practice eventually helps me upgrade my skills.

  1. What would be the three main career lessons that you have learned thus far?

Shorouk Mohamed

Senior Graphic Designer

Biodigy

 

  1. What does receiving the Employee of the Month award mean to you?

Shorouk: I received it on time because I have worked restlessly for the past months on important projects that were totally out of my comfort zone. So, it feels good to know that my hard work through the last period has been noticed and appreciated and that I can achieve things that I thought I was not good at.

  1. What is your favorite accomplishment so far at TKI?

Shorouk: My favorite accomplishment so far, working at TKI, is designing the brand identity for ILMS and LMSL Centers and Labs.

  1. How do you find a solution when you are faced with a challenge at work?

Shorouk: I usually search for a solution first online if it is related to a design challenge and if it does not work, I contact my art director for his opinion and help.

  1. What would be the three main career lessons that you have learned thus far?

Shorouk: The three main career lessons I have learned so far are:

  1. No matter how experienced you might be, there will always be something new to learn.
  2. Sometimes accomplishing a task on time with an acceptable outcome is better than (and much needed) accomplishing a task with a perfect outcome but missing the deadline.
  3. A manager that is supportive, understanding, and believes in the capabilities of employees can definitely make employees do wonders and boost their self-confidence.
