6 WAYS TO HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR BOSS Just keeping your head down staying out of the way and getting your job done is not a relationship. Yes, ultimately you want to complete your job duties, but it is equally important to be seen, especially if you are interested in taking on additional job responsibilities or advancing in the organisation.

4. A big dream of his is to learn to fly. St. Lucia didn’t have an aviation academy so he wasn’t able to meet his goal of getting his pilot’s license by age 50. But he says he will definitely have it by age 55.

BEACHES OCHO RIOS Celebrating Earth Day Earth Day awareness is one of the annual Environment Sustainability activities undertaken by the EHS Department and Sandals Foundation. Earth Day 2010 at Beaches Ocho Rios was epic, the team of Earth Guardians and Sandals Foundation volunteers were starving for projects to do, as a result they created a loud buzz among their colleagues and guests.

A few of the activities offered to team members and guests over the two-days include: - Earth Day Scavenger Hunt, sand castle construction competition, Earth Day trivia, Earth Day awareness display board, Tree Planting, Sandals Foundation /Earth Day Awareness hour, Lion fish hunt and the most popular of all was the Department Hat & Tie competition.

The Hat & Tie competition was the icing on cake, 9 departments participated showcasing the talent, skills, and creativity of the team. The hats were judged by

Amanda Benjamin ( HR Coordinator) Although I am excited that the resort has finally reopened- it’s not about me. Whatever I can do within my role to assist in every way possible is my priority. I am more excited that I am able to reach out to my fellow team members to ensure they are happy at work so that they can give their best every day.

Glenroy Stafford (Houseman) It feels really good to back. I look forward to better occupancies in the coming months because we really need it. I hope COVID eases up out there, so we can get back to normalcy.

Gayvon Charles (Landscaper) The low occupancy is frustrating. Especially because we came back to a really heavy workload. But I know better will come. So I’m coming in with more passion and drive than ever before. COVID can’t stop me.
