The XCELLERS program is one facet of TRX global performance management processes, including biannual performance reviews, skip-level talent reviews, mentoring, situational leadership training, and online training and education.
At the end of each year, TRX names one XCELLER as the XCELLER of the Year, along with the top honorable mentions. As the 2007 XCELLER of the Year, Tim Nichols joins the XTEAM, TRX's top management team comprised of 50 senior leaders and high-impact players selected by Trip Davis. Nichols also becomes one of five employees mentored by Davis this year, engaging in monthly one-on-one mentor sessions to establish and track his personal and professional goals.
Nichols and the seven XCELLER of the Year honorable mentions each received cash awards and additional vacation days to further recognize their dedication to the company and outstanding service in 2007.
