BEST OF SHOW!
Thrive PR was honored with a BEST OF SHOW Pegasus award across all projects for its Hospice Source Employee Newsletter entry, which also won the Pegasus Award in the Publication category.

PRSA Pegasus Award: Internal Communications Program for Hospice Source
Partnering with Hospice Source’s CEO, Thrive PR strategized and implemented a new, comprehensive, integrated communications program for the company’s employees across the country. The majority of employees work in non-desk/delivery roles, making internal communications particularly challenging. The ongoing program has resulted in a more engaged, informed and connected workforce.

“Our driving mission is to serve ‘every patient, every time,’ and delivering on that purpose starts with a connected and engaged workforce,” said Jeff Mongonia, CEO of Hospice Source. “We’re honored that the employee communication work we’ve done in partnership with Thrive PR has been recognized with these esteemed awards.”
