FROZEN'S GOT
TALENT The BFFF People Awards are the perfect way to recognise and reward the dynamic, innovative, hardworking, passionate and creative personnel who make the frozen food industry tick. The Bulletin catches up with 2019’s stars of the show to find out what the experience meant to them and how taking part can benefit your business. BFFF’s People Awards are all about celebrating the unsung heroes of frozen, the brilliant and hard-working staff who make this essential part of the food industry the dynamic and innovative sector it is. The awards, now in their third year, receive high calibre entries from across the entire frozen food landscape. Winners are selected from 11 categories that reflect the diverse nature of our vibrant industry including Commercial Team of the Year, Product Developer of the Year and Unsung Hero. Organisers are expecting the 2020 awards to be as
competitive as ever, with a plethora of entries shining a spotlight on the talented staff making waves in their field of expertise. HR expert Cheryl Bennett, who specialises in staff engagement and people development, was one of the judges on the 2019 panel. She says she cannot stress enough how beneficial the awards can be to employees and businesses alike. “Satisfaction and productivity levels increase when people feel appreciated and know their hard work is valued, which in turn boosts motivation to go the extra mile and continue being a star performer,” she explains. “If a member of your team delivers consistently brilliant results, there’s no better way to show your appreciation than by putting them forward for a BFFF People Award. “It’s a fantastic and effective way to inspire loyalty within your teams and improve employee engagement, as well as gain some positive PR.”
