Shannon Scott, General Manager at Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott in Fort Walton Beach, FL, has always been a big believer in the power of employee recognition. When he started working with MyEmployees, he found out just how easy it could be to manage it efficiently.
In a recent conversation with a member of our team, Shannon shares some of the struggles he encountered when working with a local vendor, and the challenges that come along with having to manage a recognition program all by yourself.
MyEmployees stepped in as an assistant and trusted advisor, giving Shannon the ability to maximize the effectiveness of his recognition efforts with fast, reliable service and high quality awards

Shannon Scott, General Manager of Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Fort Walton Beach, FL
“We’re sold on recognition… Shifting to [MyEmployees] has really just made it easier for us to accomplish.“
Here’s the transcript from Shannon’s call
We’ve done it for 12 years that I know of. We just started with you guys a couple of years ago.
We’re sold on recognition programs. It’s always worked well for us.
Shifting to you guys has really just made it easier for us to accomplish, because we were using somebody locally, and while I’m a “buy local” kind of guy, it just wasn’t working with them any longer. It was too burdensome for us.
The transition over to you guys has just been so easy. It fits perfectly with what we’re doing.
They had a lot of turnover, and wouldn’t be as prompt as we needed them to be. The quality of what they were producing for us wasn’t consistent.
We had to leave property to go pick it up ourselves. This comes in the mail; that part was easier, too.
Communication and the quality of what they were delivering… those were really the two biggest things that we’ve noticed a difference in going with your company.
We’re fans!
