Internal Awards and Honors
Our top-performing, Sales, Operations and Support management team members are recognized each year by our President's Club award. Senior managers nominate their top employees. The winners are a closely guarded secret until an announcement in front of peers at our Annual Planning Meeting.
Our Chairman's Award is designed to recognize exceptional employees throughout our companies whose performance reflects YRC Worldwide core values: exceeding customer expectations, valuing people, working safely, good citizenship, integrity and teamwork.
Additionally, our union employees are recognized through our annual Safety Award programs: Safe Driver, Safe Worker and Million Miler awards.
External Awards and Honors
At YRC Worldwide, we're on a mission to connect people, places, goods and information around the world. And when we accomplish that mission, there’s no better compliment than being recognized for outstanding service by our customers, our peers, government and the news media.
For the sixth consecutive year, YRC Worldwide in 2008 has been ranked number one in its industry on the "FORTUNE Magazine" annual list of America's Most Admired Companies. In addition, YRC Worldwide ranked number one in all eight categories, an exceptional recognition achieved by only 13 other companies. The reputation attributes are: Innovation, people management, use of corporate assets, social responsibility, quality of management, financial soundness, long-term investment and quality of products/services.
In September 2008, YRC Worldwide was named to the20th Annual InformationWeek 500, a list of the nation's most-innovative technology users. InformationWeek magazine has identified and honored the nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual listing, now in its 20th year, and has tracked the technology, strategies, investments and administrative practices of America's best-known companies.
The list is unique among corporate rankings because it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, instead of simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.
