Stoker Awards and Kudos
The Stoker Awards
The Stoker Awards were created at Facilities Management to recognize outstanding work in three areas – appreciation, innovation and safety. They are presented yearly at the annual FM Employee Appreciation luncheon. Each member of the team receives a certificate.
