Dishing out the awards

Some of Cork’s hotel workers were served up awards for their service and dedication to the job recently.

Trigon Hotels celebrated the Inaugural Long Service and Dedication Awards 2019 where 50 members of the Trigon team received accolades.

In total, 20 people received five year certs, 17 people were awarded ten year certs and seven people were given 15 year certs. When it came to the longest serving staff, three people received 20 year certs, two got 25 year certs and one team member got a 35 year cert.

In total 50 Trigon team members received awards for 520 years of service across Trigon’s three hotels - The Metropole Hotel, Cork International Hotel and Cork Airport Hotel.

The event was part of the development of Trigon’s Employer brand for 2019, a joint initiative between the groups HR and marketing departments.

Strategic HR Director with Trigon, Kathleen Linehan said: “This was a very special first event for Trigon Hotels recognising our team members service milestones. The positive culture in our workplace was very evident with some members celebrating up to 35 years of service. The mix of our values, traditions, leadership and attitudes are clearly key to creating this.”
