Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the Dundee City Council Annual Staff Awards 2013, the inaugural year of such awards. The awards ceremony took place in the West Park Centre.
Having a staff awards initiative has proved itself to be extremely worthwhile. All of the participants last night - not just the winners - are excellent examples of providing high-quality and innovative services and highlighted the commitment and professionalism of the City Council's staff.
It was a thoroughly inspiring evening and I have no doubt that the success of the 2013 Awards will ensure the initiative is repeated in future years.
