TD has a rich culture of recognition. We acknowledge the contributions people make to achieving business goals, but not in a one-size-fits-all way. We have more than 30 recognition programs, including TD-wide (global) initiatives and business-specific programs. Some highlights:

• Act for Impact Award: To celebrate outstanding day-to-day contributions, People Managers in certain business areas can recognize 25% of our employees and provide them with a personalized congratulatory card and an award when they spot someone demonstrating one of TD’s Guiding Principles.
• Principles in Practice Award: This award recognizes employees in certain business areas who consistently exemplify at least three Guiding Principles. Ten per cent of our employees are recognized through this program, which includes a personalized certificate of recognition and an award.
• Vision in Action Award: Our company’s highest honour, recognizing the “best of the best.” It’s for our top 62 employees around the world who exhibit all of our six Guiding Principles. Recipients are invited to attend our Annual General Meeting, enjoy a weekend in the host city, receive spending money and a $500 donation to a charity of their choice.
• Service Recognition Program: This program recognizes employees at career milestones.
• Employee Appreciation Month: In June, each business area makes a concerted effort to recognize and celebrate their employees in ways that are meaningful to them.
• Business-specific Programs: Many of our individual businesses have their own unique employee recognition programs, such as spot awards, nomination-based awards and achievement-based awards. As one example, TD Banknorth’s Service Leadership Recognition program allows employees to recognize a colleague who has provided service excellence by positively influencing the customer experience. Nominated employees can receive gift cards, a paid day off and other rewards.
