Charlesea Joseph and Roland Brison were stunned when they were announced by Managing Director of Winair Edwin Hodge as recipients of the two special awards. He told the packed gathering that the service and contributions rendered during 2009 by both Joseph and Brison cannot go unnoticed thus he saw it fit to honour them. As a sign of continued demonstration of the company's recognition and value for the contributions made by the two employees during last year they were rewarded with a financial token.
Addressing the employees, Hodge told those in attendance that he must recognize two special young people who he said can be viewed as role models to young people within Winair and in the Caribbean. "The services and performance of Miss Charlesea Joseph and Mr. Roland Brison are enormous, not that I am not remembering others who have contributed significantly. I am very grateful and thankful for the overall contributions of all of our employees as it would have been truly unfair of me to not identify them," he said.
Hodge urged fellow employees to emulate the ethics and work spirits of Joseph and Brison noting that employees like them will certainly aid in boosting the overall performance of the airline. He reminded all that giving of their best will certainly help in keeping the doors of Winair open while ensuring that the planes are kept in the skies. "I would like to encourage each of you to follow suit the example set by both Joseph and Brison in executing your duties as I am very confident that with more employees like them we will certainly remain a force to be reckon with," he said.
Admitting that they were both stunned both Joseph and Brison expressed thanks and gratitude to the Managing Director for the awards noting that it serves to motivate them more. Joseph who has not been with the airline for a long period said that she is very excited and elated noting that she enjoys working with the team and will continue to give of her best as she seeks to develop her self professionally. She noted that while Winair is her first place of employment it has been a teaching ground for her declaring that she has learnt a lot.
Brisons pointed out that working with Winair continues to be a joy for him noting that it's easy to give your best when you are working with employees who are more than just colleagues but sees each other as family members. He stressed that he will continue to give his best noting that he would like to see other employees give of their best also.
