PurpleTrain Forum Held to recognise staff contributions

PurpleTrain continuously recognises the achievements and contributions of the staff towards PurpleTrain's success. Following the first Awards Ceremony in April, PurpleTrain once again takes the initiative to hold its inaugural PurpleTrain Forum to serve as a platform for all PurpleTrain staff to update and to share the latest happenings at PurpleTrain with our esteemed partners, facilitators and sales staff.

The PurpleTrain Forum was merge into the Awards Ceremony in May. In fact, this is the very first time PurpleTrain has held the Awards Ceremony on such a big scale. All PurpleTrain staff, including facilitators, sales people and some key personnel from Informatics Group, were invited to attend the ceremony, during which updates on the latest developments and feedback on PurpleTrain were made available.

In addition to The Top Sales Performance Award by Centre and The Top Sales Performer Award which were introduced last month, PurpleTrain has added three more new categories. They are The Best Online Facilitator Award, The Best Advertisement Award and The Best Sales Improvement Award.
