The final step counts have been returned from our auditors, Ernst & Young. The results have been hermetically sealed in a #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall’s back porch since noon today. And the step-a-thon winner is the GREEN TEAM. Congratulations on a job well done. The prize for those who participated on the GREEN TEAM will be distributed by Sebally.
Purple Reign in Collaboration with the EPIC Amazing Race is taking SterlingRisk back to school!
Look forward to a month long of Purple Reign supporting and encouraging all colleagues to the finale of the Amazing Race!
Together, we will train and we will learn. It won’t be easy, and it will take time. But together, we will graduate from TAM to EPIC.
Fundraising proceeds will support Sunrise Day Camp

Today marks the first day of the implementation of the S.H.I.E.L.D VALUES Program, Stage1 – Values Care Card. Managers, Values Team Members, and Rewards & Recognition Members have been given the task of recognizing employees that are living any one of the five values on a day-to-day basis, by presenting them with a Values Care Card upon witnessing such behavior.
If an employee not listed above witnesses a great example of someone living any of the values, they are encouraged to bring this to the attention of a manager with specific details; such ‘referrals’ should be considered for presentation of a Care Card as well.
August 2, 2014 marked the 90-day mark of the Values rollout on May 2, 2014.
SterlingRisk employees met in the large meeting room on August 4th for a Values Meeting as well as updates from all of the sub-committees.
- Rewards & Recognition team announced the launch of the Values Care Cards to be awarded to any employee that exemplifies any or all of the values.
- Hiring Committee announced that as of August 2014, 2 employees had been hired through the new comprehensive values-driven hiring process.
- Communications Committee announced the launch of SterlingRisk Voice, with the inaugural issue available for all employees. Suggestions for content welcome.
- Performance Management Committee discussed the timeline for a new performance management system and process that will be available in a couple of months.
- Operations Committee presented the results of a recent survey. The results were positive with the majority of employees seeing internal progress with the values in place.
The values team also presented a 15-min video with photos from the values roll out event.
