South Burnett CTC employees headed to Cherbourg and Murgon recently to enjoy their annual “CTC Day” away from their desks.
The day brings together workers from all sections of the not-for-profit organisation to enjoy team-building activities and have a bit of fun.
In recent years, the CTC team members have held working bees in Kingaroy, Wondai and at Mt Wooroolin.
This year they completed small projects at The Ration Shed, Beemar Yumba, Mudjimba Safe House and Ny-Ku Byun in Cherbourg before heading to Murgon for lunch and the annual employee awards.
Employees who had clocked up milestones of five, 10, 15 or 20 years service were recognised (see below) as well as the recipients of CTC Day Awards.
CTC CEO Jason Erbacher explained that the CTC Day Awards had a new format this year.
Employees were nominated by their peers “to recognise their great work in line with CTC’s values of empathy, integrity and collaboration”.
Jason also reflected on the changes which had occurred across the organisation over the past 12 months.
These included a new slogan, “Contributing To Community”, new logos and a new website was on the way.
CTC had also embedded itself in Nanango, with the opening of its new centre in Drayton Street.
A service guide, to explain exactly what CTC does, will be released at the upcoming AGM.
And the organisation had drawn up plans for a new precinct beside the Youth Park in Kingaroy.
