Tarsus Municipality – Turkey – EFQM Excellence Award (Leading with Vision, Inspiration and Integrity) – 2018
Tarsus Municipality has undergone a remarkable amount of change following the implementation of the 2014 law when the geographic scope of Tarsus was extended substantially to encompass a large rural area containing 179 villages. Tarsus Municipality has successfully managed this change to continue to build their organisational capability to deal with these challenges. This can be seen through their continually improving set of results. Tarsus Municipality has an impressive culture of continuous improvement that is driven by leaders – including the mayor – and is taken forward by staff at every level of the organisation. Tarsus Municipality is clearly very focussed on the experience of their customers.
