Employee Recognition

Internal Recognition

We have a number of internal programs designed to show our appreciation for the outstanding efforts of our employees:

The All-Star Team Award is given quarterly to a group of associates nominated by their peers and managers and selected by a committee comprised of representatives from each of the venues. The final award selection is based chiefly on the quality of both customer service and teamwork delivered in the following quarter.

At our annual employee meeting, held each year in the fall, we present the following:

MVP Awards are given to a small group of associates who have had a superb year and whose contributions surpass even our high expectations. The award certificate presented to the annual MVPs reads: The Most Valuable Person Award is presented to … for being a model employee who demonstrates Commitment to Excellence at Every Level. You embody the cooperative spirit and dedication to others that makes Chelsea Piers a special place for all.
Coach of the Year Awards are given to a select group of teachers, coaches or instructors who, like the annual MVPs, have had an outstanding year of accomplishment. The award certificate reads: This Coach of the Year Award is presented to… for setting the highest standard of excellence in instruction and for outstanding commitment to inspiring and motivating our customers. You embody the cooperative spirit and dedication to others that makes Chelsea Piers a special place for all.

In addition, associates who have reached their fifth and those reaching their tenth year of employment in the prior twelve months receive 5 Year Service Awards and 10 Year Service Awards. The 10 Year Service Award recipients also receive a Chelsea Piers 10 Year Team Varsity jacket.

As of Winter 2009, we have over 361 currently employed associates who have received 5 Year Service Awards and over 168 active employees who have received 10 Year Service Awards.
