In a bid to encourage punctuality at work and to boost productivity, the management of Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay Beach Resort and Casino has launched a "Health Award".

100 staff members out of the 270 employed by the hotel were on Friday afternoon (May 28),  happy to hear that their efforts not to miss a day of work over the past two years, were being recognised. The staff, 61 female and 39 male workers, were presented with gifts and certificates.

To further motivate the staff, the general manager of Berjaya Hotels and Resorts (Sey) Limited, B.B. Khoo, has promised that next year, in addition to certificates and gifts, they would each get a cash prize.

He reminded the staff that they were an important asset to the tourism industry, a major pillar of the economy and that its success depended on their productivity.

"We need to curtail those medical leaves, maximise our productivity, maintain service standards and encourage healthy habits," Mr Khoo said.

He noted that the award did not necessarily mean that the staff should be present at work all the time, but it was meant to encourage them not to take unnecessary leave and to commend them for their punctuality.

Staff rewarded were those who have not been absent during the whole of 2002 and 2003 as well as those who have been able to maintain the momentum throughout the two years consecutively.

They received their awards from the heads of their respective departments.
