Panera Bread Employee Recognized for Excellence and Leadership

Howley Bread Group, a local franchise of Panera Bread, held its Leadership Meeting recently at Whispering Pines Convention Center in West Warwick, Rhode Island, where a number of its employees were recognized for excellence and leadership for the third quarter of 2015.

The Howley Bread Group, based in Lincoln, Rhode Island, owns and operates twenty-eight Panera Bread bakery-cafes in Rhode Island, Southeastern Massachusetts and Greater Hartford/Eastern Connecticut markets.

Among those receiving company-wide awards:

The “Engagement” Awards were presented to associates who demonstrate a sense of empowerment and a positive attitude about their job, colleagues and customers while putting their own special signature on their work each day. They also consistently go beyond what is required. Among the winners was Karla Williams of the Farmington cafe, who lives in New Britain. She also received the Associate of the Quarter Award for that location.

All the Panera Bread bakery-cafes are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offer a variety of menu items, including breads and bagels, breakfast sandwiches, creative lunch and dinner sandwiches, pastas, hand-tossed salads, homemade soups and a variety of espresso beverages. Panera Bread Catering also caters and delivers its full menu to any occasion at the office or home. For a Panera Bread Catering menu and more, please visit a cafe or www.paneracatering.com.
