Recognising the remarkable

What is Be A Star?

Our Be A Star reward and recognition programme empowers Compass colleagues to celebrate each other’s great work by…

  • Rewarding those who truly make a difference.
  • Incentivising hard work and recognising achievements.
  • Enabling teammates to thank and celebrate each other.
  • Helping everyone feel part of the wider Compass family.

Our three categories, customer, colleague and community, celebrate our people-focused culture by recognising those colleagues who are making a real difference to others.

Each quarter, the best nominations are chosen across the categories, with cash prizes for winners.
