Our People Unleash the WOW

As long as there’s been a Softchoice, our people have gone above and beyond to WOW their peers and their customers.

Our employees regularly go above and beyond to surprise and delight their peers and their customers. As an organization, we recognize employees who go the extra mile and bring our values to life through our Unleash the WOW recognition program. Each month, the best WOW stories get shared on OrangeNationLive, our monthly live show that’s broadcast to every Softchoice office across North America.

We even have our own peer-to-peer tool called SendAWOW.com. Every day, employees receive WOWcards from their peers, managers, business partners and customers for exemplifying our values, supporting each other, and delivering exceptional outcomes for the people we serve.

What is a WOW?

As an organization, we recognize our people who go the extra mile. In fact, we have a name for the recognition we give - it's called a WOW!

Our employees receive WOWs from their colleagues, managers, partners or customers for exemplifying our values, supporting each other, and delivering exceptional outcomes for our customers.

The stories found on Unleash the WOW are a sample of the amazing work our people do every single day across North America.
