January 22, 2018 — Co-op Colleagues
Nominate your colleague for a Thank you for Being Co-op award
We need your nominations! We’re on the hunt for those brilliant colleagues who spread a little Co-op magic wherever they go.
There are 12 award categories for our first ever Co-op-wide Thank you for Being Co-op awards 2018. Find out more about them in this information pack.
We want to thank those special colleagues for bringing Being Co-op to life and recognise their achievements.
No matter where you work, or what you do, you can nominate your colleagues for living the Ways of Being Co-op. So get going!
When do nominations open and close?
Nominations are open from today (22 January 2018) to midnight on 2 March 2018.
What will the winners get?
- A unique Co-op experience – each winner will have the opportunity to work with us to create a special experience that only our Co-op can offer. This could be anything from a five star chef cooking a meal in the family home to visiting one of our suppliers abroad. Whatever floats your boat! These experiences will take place between May and September 2018.
- Special AGM invite – you’ll be invited as a special guest to our AGM on Saturday 19 May 2018 where we’ll be celebrating our award winners.
- Afternoon tea – a celebratory afternoon tea will be held on the day of the AGM for those award winners who’d like to attend.

Hi
I have tried to submit an application but it timed out after sending, can this be fixed, given a few of us have experienced this. It said no activity after 90 mins but I was only working for less than 20 mins?

3 times I have tried to nominate each time when submitting error on page message
Hi Michelle. Sorry about that. I’ll let the team know and I’ll also check if your nominations have gone through. Let me come back to you. ^Rachel
Hi Michelle. Can you please email thankyouforbeingcoop@coop.co.uk and they’ll send you a manual form to complete? Thanks ^Rachel
Great idea. I do think however that HR / Leadership / Managers do not use the internal recognition mechanisms already in place to say thank you enough. Specifically, in the last year I can’t remember where this has been highlighted to people across the business to ensure that recognition is embedded in our culture on a smaller scale as well as these bigger gestures.
In case there are a few others out there like me, remember there is the Co-op Simply thank you page which allows you to send small “thank you” cards and/or chocolates / gifts / vouchers when you want to recognise someone who has gone the extra mile in Being Co-op. Link below.

Hi Reminders. We also introduced the Everyday thank you boxes which are about saying thank you in the moment. They’re going down brilliantly with colleagues across the organisation. ^Rachel https://colleaguestories.coop.co.uk/2018/01/09/update-on-how-were-going-to-thank-you-for-beingcoop/
