Sundial Beach Resort names Employees of the Quarter
Sundial Beach Resort & Spa recognized its top employees at an All Employee Meeting on April 17 at the resort, naming Joey Wilson as Employee of the Quarter for the First Quarter of 2014. Wilson has worked at the island resort for the past year and is an employee in the Food & Beverage Department.
According to Theresa Zupon, Human Resources representative, two Sundial condo owners who spent several weeks at the Resort nominated Wilson. During their stay, they frequently came in contact with Wilson who consistently assisted them to ensure that they had a great vacation experience. For this achievement, Wilson received a $100 cash award, a dining gift card and the appreciation of his peers who concurred with his recognition for outstanding service.
Additional nominees and their departments for the First Quarter of 2014 were: Parus “Sam” Chaianant, Safety Department; Darren Dehler, Front Office; Jean Janvier, Recreation; Lexie Lombardy, Food & Beverage; Carlos Sanchez, Engineering; and Elmener Virgile of the Housekeeping Department.
At the conclusion of each quarter, employees are encouraged to nominate those fellow workers who have demonstrated strong guest services skills, are dependable and reliable, courteous to fellow employees and display a positive attitude. Condo owners at the resort can also offer feedback that can lead to an employee nomination through the Resort’s Owner Services department. From nominated hourly employees, managers vote by secret ballot for the individual who should be recognized for Employee of the Quarter. All nominated employees nominated receive a congratulatory letter from the general manager and a gift card to enjoy dinner.
