Airport:---Employees of Windward Islands Airways (Winair) will gather on Sunday, 9th August for a grand family day of fun. The activity, which has been organized by staff of the airline company, is geared towards socializing among colleagues and their families as part of the employees’ development and enhancement programme.
According to one of the organizers, the day of fun has been organized solely by employees without the assistance of management. However, the employee noted that management has offered to lend some financial and other support to the event, which according to the employee had seen a hiatus for some eight years.
“This used to be a regular feature of the company as we used to organize a number of activities among them being beach parties, socials, and day of sports. However over the years it has become somewhat doormat and inactive and therefore we the employees have sought to resuscitate these activities in a more organized and aggressive manner,” the employee said.
She added, “... I am hoping that this will be the start for more regular kind of activities of this nature as the staff recognizes the importance of socializing and mingling with each other as years ago the company had a Winair Fun Club that organized such activities.”
The event will be held at the Emilio Wilson Park from 11AM - 6PM and according to the organizers, there are expected to be games for the kids and adults. Some 110 odd employees and their families are expected to convene on the ground where their primary objective will be to mingle, have fun while getting to know each other. As usual, music will be in attendance.
Expected to be attending the event will be the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Directors, Mr. Fernando William and some of the other board members.
In an invited comment, the Managing Director and his management team congratulated the staff for the initiative noting that it was timely and critically important to the airline’ s development plan noting that any activity and or event that’s seeks to bring employees much closer would be welcome and supported by the company.
Also invited to join in the frolic and fun are the media.
