PRA Group Awards and Appreciation Ceremonies Honor More Than 500 Team Members
This spring, PRA Group hosted its annual awards and appreciation ceremonies to celebrate the achievements of more than 500 team members across the business’s U.S. operations. The events brought top performers to center stage to be recognized for their innovation, hard work and embodiment of our company’s core values over the past year.
Annual events like these are a way to say thank you to the teams and individuals who make PRA Group’s operation possible and to celebrate our collective successes. As the award winners are nominated by their peers, these ceremonies also give colleagues the opportunity to recognize each other’s work.
Team members were honored for exemplary performance in several categories, including:
- Employee of the Year
- Leader of the Year Award
- Team Spirit Award
- Rising Star Award
- Outstanding Contributor
- PRA CARES Award
PRA Group’s culture is at the heart of our business and is the foundation upon which our company’s success is built. PRA Group President and CEO Vik Atal said in his opening remarks, “We cannot be a high-performing team or deliver results unless our people are motivated to be here. I want to acknowledge something about our culture that becomes especially clear around awards ceremony time: we have an incredible foundation. I am proud to work alongside colleagues who support one another so well, who celebrate each other’s successes, and who encourage and recognize ingenuity.”
