Associate Recognition at Carowinds
Associates are the face of Carowinds and play an integral part in the guest experience.
In 2021, Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, Carowinds’ owner, and operator, introduced the Purpose Awards. Throughout the 2021 season, 13 Cedar Fair parks collected internal nominations for full-time, part-time, and seasonal associates who embody the purpose: making people happy. At Carowinds, five associates were presented with this award.
In 2022, Carowinds will begin hosting quarterly awards ceremonies to recognize seasonal associates across a variety of areas. One of these awards is the Social Media Superstar, a new guest-driven award.
#CaroWIN: Guest-Driven Associate Recognition
Carowinds is excited to introduce the new associate recognition program, #CaroWIN, that will be completely driven by park guests on social media.
What is a CaroWIN?
When a Carowinds associate goes above and beyond to ensure a guest has the best day ever, it is a win. A CaroWIN, to be exact.
How to Recognize a CaroWIN
If a guest feels they have had a positive experience with an associate that satisfies the definition of a CaroWIN, Carowinds encourages them to share the experience on social media. Guests should tweet about the experience tagging @Carowinds and using #CaroWIN on Twitter. The tweet should also include the associate’s name and where they were stationed.
Carowinds’ social media team will monitor the CaroWIN hashtag. Tweets from guests will be displayed in areas for associates to see as they enter the park. This will remind them that guests recognize and appreciate their hard work.
Additionally, the #CaroWIN program will be incorporated into Carowinds’ quarterly awards ceremony. The Social Media Superstar award will be given to associates who receive tweets in this program. They will be recognized for connecting with guests in a such a FUN way that they shared stories on social media.
Use #CaroWIN and tweet your appreciation for Carowinds’ associates. Follow Carowinds on Twitter at @Carowinds for news and updates.
