Swan Rotary is calling for nominations from employers wishing to acknowledge dedicated employees at our Pride of Workmanship Awards event to be held in July 2023.

To promote Vocational Service.
· To encourage Pride of Workmanship in all vocations.

   those qualities which are worthy of an award.
· To encourage favourable employer/employee relationships and a sense of
   community pride in individual achievement.
· To provide an opportunity for Rotary to be involved in the community.
 
The origin of the programme
 
“Pride of Workmanship” was launched as a Rotary project in June 1975.
The aim was to encourage a much-needed pride in personal performance in the workplace and to help create a national attitude for the benefit of our country.
A plaque bearing the now familiar slogan - “Do it once, Do it well, Build a Better Australia”, for display in their workplace, will be presented to awardees.
The program has been adopted by over 600 Rotary Clubs in Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Malaysia, Canada, and the United States.
Guidelines:
1. The emphasis is on the theme: “Do it once; Do it well; Build a better Australia”.
2. The Pride of Workmanship Award is designed to acknowledge an employee, irrespective of age or vocation, who, in the eyes of their employer, displays out- standing qualities in terms of approach, attitude, dedication and commitment to their job.
3. The Award is intended to cover all aspects of work performance and ethics, inclusive of quality & quantity of output, safety, initiative, sense of responsibility, etc.
4. Pride of Workmanship is not a competition. It is a recognition of individual achievement and commitment.
5. Local businesses are invited to submit nominations to  secretary@swanrotary.org.au by 31 May 2023. Nominations forms and further guidelines are available from David Uhe (duhe@bigpond.net.au ) or 0419 904 010
