The Service Awards are part of a concerted effort to foster a positive, teamwork-oriented environment and to reward excellence on the job. Similar initiatives include Whaler’s Touchpoint Program, an innovative approach to supporting new hires throughout their onboarding process; and the Mastor/Mentor Program, dedicated to nurturing and rewarding both hard and soft skills.
“The sheer number of years amassed and the number of people being recognized today are a true testament to the culture of our company,” said Stickler, addressing the honorees. “Together, we uphold the spirit of teamwork and collaboration that helps keep us strong. Boston Whaler wouldn’t be the success it is today without your efforts. We appreciate all of your years of service.”
