The Professional Performance Award is given to employees who either achieve a substantially high level of performance beyond that normally expected or whose achievement brings demonstrable benefits to Fujitsu.

Weekend Away Award
This award is in recognition of the importance of our "Life Balance" cultural value and will be awarded when an individual's ability to maintain "Life Balance" has been affected.
