EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION
RECOGNIZING Outstanding Service By Brianna Botine, Communications Director and Lodging Concierge
The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch have a mission to be the employer of choice in Boerne and San Antonio. Our goal is to help create a rewarding and enthusiastic work environment by recognizing our employee partners for their continued commitment to Cordillera Ranch, and the Cordillera Ranch Employee Recognition Program is an important element to attracting and retaining great people to serve our members. Our Employee Partners recognize that what makes Cordillera Ranch so special are the people. We are proud to have amazing people on our team who build relationships and serve our members by creating unique products, services and programming designed to provide a world-class lifestyle. This means both Club events and private events are operated with outstanding attention to detail, with employees thinking outside the box and continuing to push the envelope, always looking for new ways to engage with our members. One way that we respond to their service is by hosting Employee Appreciation parties twice a year — the summer parties have been hosted at Top Golf®, Canyon Lake boating, New Braunfels floating the river and Chicken N Pickle®, to name a few. These summer celebrations are open to all of The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch employees and their families. This summer, we’ll host an event at the pool on a Monday where staff will be able to bring family and enjoy games and entertainment. Every January the Clubs host a formal dinner celebration open to all employees and their spouses. This celebration features an elegant dinner with awards for service. We recognize employees for being a Ranch Hand (minimum three months of service), Wrangler (minimum six months of service) and Trail Boss (minimum 12 months of service). Gifts are awarded to employees that work to reach the Wrangler and Trail Boss levels. The Trail Boss level employees are the Best of the Best. They are our team members that always go above and beyond and strive to deliver the best experience to our members. We also recognize our Employee of the Year that is gifted the “Outstanding Service” award. This award is a Clint Orms C-Star bracelet with their initials and “Outstanding Service” etched on the inside, or a C-Star money clip for men with their initials and “Outstanding Service” etched on it.
