TelEm Group Lead Customer Service Representative, Suraj Ramdas, crowned a sparkling year by being named TelEm Group, Employee-of-the-Year during the company’s annual Christmas dinner Friday.
The honors where showered on Mr. Ramdas by Commercial Department head, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) Mr. Brian Mingo, and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Mrs. Helma Etnel at the Rock House Restaurant, Port de Plaisance, where this year’s festive gathering was held.
According to Mr. Mingo, Suraj has almost single-handedly transformed the look and internet business now provided by TelEm Group at the Harbour facility. He also spearheaded a hugely successful Summer promotion campaign and has demonstrated all of the attributes of a model employee who embraces the company’s new vision, mission and core values.
Mr. Etnel said she was very grateful to Suraj for all the work he has done this year on behalf of TelEm Group and most of all for the wonderful attitude he has shown. "I am especially glad that the choice came from his own colleagues and not from management alone, because it demonstrates that they too have recognized the contribution he made this year," said Mrs. Etnel.
The CFO encouraged other members of staff to follow Suraj’s lead and make it their own mission to be next year’s winner of the company’s highest award.
Mrs. Etnel was joined by her Executive Colleagues, Chief Techncial Officer (CTO) Mr. Eldert Louisa and Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) Mr. Brian Mingo in wishing the rest of the TelEm Group staff the best for the Christmas season, along with their spouses and partners who were also present for the occasion.
The dinner was organized by TelEm Group’s Personnel Association, who said the event went without a hitch and was very well attended this year with many positive signs for the future.
A number of raffle prizes were given out on the night but the star prize was a trip for two to the Dominican Republic, won by Human Resources and Development Administrative Clerk, Carmita Brooks.
