Every company has stories like these. The problem is, while some businesses give that employee props in a meeting or send a nice email to the team, most companies don’t consistently share those stories with everyone else.
For drivers who go above and beyond like Dahir, Uber created “The Sixth Star Award.” Each week, they reward drivers whose passengers leave positive feedback about customer service moments like Dahir’s by sending them a gift and profiling them on their site.
