Crust is running a campaign to celebrate National Pizza Day on 9 February and help celebrate everyday heroes in the workplace.

The national chain is offering 10 bonuses worth $1,000 for people nominated by themselves or a colleague with a heartfelt or entertaining story about why they deserve a National Pizza Day bonus.

The campaign is about showing workers who go above and beyond an extra slice of appreciation.

Crust marketing manager Zak Marr said the initiative reimagined National Pizza Day in a fun, meaningful way that gives a nod to workplace appreciation.

“We know that a little bit of recognition can go a long way,” Marr said.

“So, for National Pizza Day this year, we want to level up our appreciation for our amazing customers beyond the pizza parties we fuel nationwide.

“Whether it’s a pizza party in the office, at home or on the green, you can eat your pizza and feel recognised with our Crust National Pizza Day Bonus.

“It’s our way of recognising moments and people worthy of sharing.”

Crust Pizza specialist recruiter Tammie Christofis Ballis added, “Crust is putting its money where its mouth is by using fun and purpose to bridge the gap between feel-good work moments and genuine employee recognition.”

To participate in the tasty fun, you can head to Crust.com.au and nominate yourself or a co-worker before the 4 pm cut-off on 8 February.
