PTM

We received 18 nominations for colleagues in PTM and were delighted to present 2 individual and 1 team award

A storm hit Mauritius back in January, threatening the safe storage of over 100 tonnes of fish. Despite already being changed and ready to leave site at the end of a busy shift, Arvind Bhundun, Chinapyel Rengasamy & Veelavdon Pyneandee all choose to stay to secure the storage. This is a brilliant example of one team spirit!

Managing difficult situations is always challenging but Manish Joggesser was able to reasonably and amicably settle dispute with a neighbouring business recently– approaching the situation calmly, Manish showed real professionalism.

You might remember that the Health & Wellbeing Project Team recently challenged colleagues to participate in a walking challenge – well Astrid Derby took on that challenge and has continued to keep on walking! The panel were most impressed to hear about just how much Astrid has enjoyed walking and is feeling the benefits of increased physical activity.

We received 5 nominations for colleagues across our EOL sitesand were delighted to present 2 individual and 1 team award

Being able to recognise colleagues for the support and care they show others is fantastic – and the panel were delighted to be able to reward both Joubert Moundure and Stuart Roberts for the dedication they have shown to making sure that the apprentice programme is a success at EOL. Taking time out of their busy jobs, Joubert and Stuart have patiently spent time with the apprentices, teaching them the ropes and sharing their skills and experience.

Most of us will have been there – receiving an email in error – but it is what Arvind Patel did next that so impressed the panel. Rather than deleting or simply replying with a ‘sorry, not me’ message, Arvind stepped up and showed real professionalism by taking responsibility to ensure the query (a complex payment query) was properly resolved. A great example of excellence and one team spirit!

And then when we suggested colleagues walked more during that week back in March, I don’t think anyone expected anyone to go to the lengths (pun intended!) that Amita Gondaliva did! Winning the challenge in terms of the number of steps walked, Amita recorded a staggering 285,200 steps over those 7 days. What was fantastic to hear was that – inspired by the challenge – Amita is still walking more and feeling great as a result!
