Phoenix, Ariz. (June 22, 2005) - Arizona Federal received the Organizational Excellence Award for its commitment to sustainable performance improvement, employee satisfaction, and being a model for learning from the prestigious FranklinCovey organization during its 11th Annual International Symposium and Executive Conference.
The award, instituted by FranklinCovey in 1995, recognizes companies that have affected measurable change in their organizations through the passionate, committed use of FranklinCovey tools and principles.

Arizona Federal has been facilitating FranklinCovey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" workshops since 2001. The program was implemented as a compliment to the technical training programs offered to all Arizona Federal employees.

“Since the program was implemented, Arizona Federal members’ satisfaction rates have risen as well as numerous financial indicators,” said Jason Paprocki, assistant vice-president/Eservices. “Our position is that by becoming more effective people overall, that output, productivity and service levels couldn't help but continually improve,” noted Paprocki.
