Engagement That Exceeded Expectations
This year, Balcians took it to the next level. Compared to last year, the number of Kudos shared increased by an impressive 68%. From Riga to Warsaw, from Tallinn to Vilnius — the appreciation flowed across all markets. Colleagues recognized each other not just for big wins, but for small, everyday actions that reflect who we are and how we work.
What We Value Most
Along with personal messages, Balcians could send special Kudos badges that described each colleague’s unique contribution. The top three badges of the year?
-
Team Spirit – a clear favorite, reflecting our commitment to collaboration.
-
Silent Hero – for those who deliver quietly but powerfully.
-
Optimism Booster – because a positive mindset is contagious.
And the Most Appreciated Colleague Is...
At the end of the day, there was one name that stood out. The person who received the highest number of Kudos across the company this year was our very own Senior Finance Controller, Edmunds Lācis. A well-deserved recognition for someone whose support, professionalism, and good spirit truly make a difference. Congratulations, Edmunds!
Recognition Every Day, Not Just Once a Year
While Kudos Day is a celebration, it also serves as a reminder - that recognition should be part of how we work, not just how we celebrate. It’s in the everyday interactions, kind words, thoughtful gestures, and shared successes that our culture becomes real.
At Balcia, we don’t wait for milestones. We acknowledge, uplift, and support each other. Because that’s how strong teams thrive!
Let’s keep the momentum going, one Kudos at a time!
