Plex Impact Award Winners

People do amazing things every day. Every quarter in our Company Meetings, we recognize top performers who demonstrate the behaviors and skills we value.  The executive team presents Plex Impact Awards for significant achievements in the following categories:

• Plex Cares: Individual who exemplifies the value we hold for our people.  These passionate team members put the Plex Values into action with our customers and partners, within our communities, and when working with each other.  They make a difference by taking an action that goes above and beyond their normal jobs and changes the way we work or live for the better. 

• Transformer: Individual who transforms what we do or how we do it.  Could be through product and technology advancements, sales productivity, or operational excellence.

• Teamwork: Team who excelled at cross-functional collaboration to successfully deliver a key project / program / initiative.

We can open up the nomination program so everyone at Plex can participate in this important recognition program. 

Plex Elite Winners

At the end of the sales year, we hold an awards banquet to acknowledge those Sales and Marketing employees who met or exceeded their annual quotas. In addition to winning awards, winners are also invited to attend Plex Elite, an all-expenses paid trip to a fabulous (usually tropical) destination.

Ideation Contest Winner 

We have taken the tradition idea of a "suggestion box" and re-invented it as an ideation contest. This is where employees' voice and ideas will be heard, and also a place to read and vote on other people's ideas. This is about innovation, which is one of our core values at Plex. We encourage employees to be creative with their ideas, while putting thought into how it will provide Plex, customers, employees and partners value. All ideas are welcomed and all submissions are reviewed. The ideas with the most votes will be selected for a grand prize. This year, the winner was awarded $1,000 cash prize and employee recognition.

When You Give, We Give. This past year, Plexians contributed to multiple charities and organizations that they care about. Plex matched donations to more than 18 non-profit groups.

We feel that giving back shouldn't be just a one-time gesture; it should be a continuous partnership that grows over time. We established the Plex Giving Program to do just that - to rally our employees around a specific cause or community organization on an annual basis. Since 2007, Plex Giving has partnered with organizations like Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Gleaners Community Food Bank, Humane Society of Monroe County, Make-a-Wish Michigan, St. Clair Butterfly Foundation and this year's partner the National 4-H Council. Fundraising activities include pancake breakfasts with Plex executives as celebrity chefs, wine tastings, silent auctions and employee donation matching.

Plex has taken a thoughtful approach to our giving program by supporting local and global initiatives that align to where employees live and work. One employee's efforts to raise money for the Flint Water Crisis is a great example of the types of causes where Plex wants to help. Initially, the Plexian created a GoFundMe account to raise $2,000 to bring safe, clean drinking water to people of Flint, MI. His efforts along with the community and many members of the Plex team raised almost $10,000. Plex matched the money raised, resulting in a $20,000 total donation.
