Shanghai Ken-Dao’s Second Quarter and Half-Year Employee Conference Successfully Concludes!
As time flows and the seasons change, in the scorching heat of early July, Shanghai Ken-Dao held its 2024 Second Quarter and Half-Year Employee Conference. The theme of the event, “Mid-Year Review to Foster Growth, Planning for the Second Half to Start a New Journey,” brought together all employees at the Baofeng Union Grand Hotel to reflect on the achievements and experiences of the first half of the year, while looking forward to the certainty and aspirations for the future.
Awards and Recognition
The employee conference began with an enthusiastic opening by the host, followed by all employees reading aloud the company’s core values and corporate culture.
Next, the executives took the stage to perform the company anthem, The Light of Ken-Dao, with newly written lyrics that reflect the company’s forward momentum and embody the spirit of each Ken-Dao employee striving for excellence.
●Personnel Appointments and Promotion Ceremony
The past six months were a blend of growth and busyness, of hard work and high spirits. During the meeting, the company announced a series of key personnel appointments and promotions, marking an important step in the company’s strategic development. This aims to motivate more employees to strive for success, injecting new energy and momentum into Ken-Dao’s continued growth.
●Anniversary Celebration
Holding fast to dreams, never lacking the passion for hard work. As time flies and steps rush forward, the achievements of those who strive will be remembered. The anniversary celebration segment followed, with the company specially preparing commemorative gifts for colleagues who have been with the company for one, three, and five years. These employees have weathered storms and embraced challenges alongside the company, contributing significantly to its growth and success.
●Top 10 Exemplary Employees
Chasing the wind and the moon, progressing steadily without slack. Tranquility leads to far-reaching goals, and hard work is rewarded by the heavens. A special new award for this quarter, the “Top 10 Exemplary Employees Award,” is the company’s high recognition and commendation for employees who have demonstrated exceptional performance in the past six months.
In these exemplary employees, one can see a passionate and dedicated work attitude, as well as a spirit of facing challenges head-on and taking on responsibility with courage!
●Outstanding Store Managers
Virtue outweighs gain, and in doing so, ensures greater rewards. A great leader is the cornerstone of a store’s continued success. The Outstanding Store Manager awardees—Wang Yunhu, Tao Min, and Wu Hengjiang—not only demonstrated excellence in business management and team leadership but were also highly regarded for their alignment with the company’s core values.
●Management Cadre
The establishment of the Management Cadre Award aims to recognize outstanding cadres who have demonstrated excellent performance and exceptional leadership abilities in management positions.
General Manager Zhang received this award for his excellent qualities and selfless spirit exhibited in work and life. His leadership style, dedication, and outstanding achievements are examples for us all to learn from!
●Ambassador of Company Values
Over time, there has been a group of colleagues who consistently interpret and practice the company’s values. They not only demonstrate high moral qualities in their work but also exhibit outstanding leadership in team collaboration. They embody the true meaning of integrity, gratitude, and long-termism through their actions.
Birthday/Game Segment
A birthday is a moment worth remembering. Ken-Dao also prepared a thoughtful birthday ceremony for employees born in July and presented each birthday person with a gift—a bamboo and hemp cooling mat. We hope that in the scorching summer, it can dispel the heat for them and help them sleep well through the night!
The meeting also included light and enjoyable game segments. Everyone enthusiastically came on stage to participate in fun activities like “Stepping on Balloons” and “Five Mao One Kuai.” The entire scene was both tense and exciting, with laughter and the sound of balloons popping one after another. Such activities are not only fun but also enhance team cohesion.
