Employee Star Awards
The idea of the Star Award is to introduce a prestigious award that our staff would be honoured to receive and to recognise individuals for their outstanding work and commitment in providing an excellent service to our residents. The Star Award is announced twice a year in February and August as one way the Company wishes to show it’s appreciation for the hard work and dedication to all our staff show to our residents.
As well as a monetary award the winner will receive a personal Optical Crystal Hope Star Trophy with engraving in a presentation case which they will keep. A picture of each Star Award recipient receiving their Star Award will be places on a board as a permanent fixture.
The criteria for receiving the award is that the recipient must have shown excellent care, dedication to their role, be a team member and have gone above and beyond their duties in supporting the residents. Anyone can nominate a staff member for the Star Award and state why they think that person deserves it. The nominees are evaluated at the Head of Department meeting each February and August with the Home Manager, where a winner is chosen.
