An end of year message from HR



Hello all,

2012 is almost over and it looks like the Mayans may have been wrong, but just in case we all get wiped out on Friday, 21 December, I thought I would get in early and take the opportunity to wish all of you a Merry Xmas and a wonderful and prosperous 2013 (if there is going to be one)  :)

Very quickly, I would like to report that the Managers’ Conference went extremely well, and the whole thing ended with a great Xmas party at Slide Nightclub, where we had presentations for service awards and merit awards, too. It seems that our wonderful team from Perth did really well on the night. Congratulations to the Perth team and to all those who received awards!

We also had some excellent Xmas raffles, and great entertainment; but the best thing of all was the convivial atmosphere of spending time with our colleagues from all the different properties.

On a personal note, it was great for me to meet the people I deal with on the phone most of the time. It’s funny how we picture a face to go with a voice when we're on the phone to someone and have never met them face to face. Then, when we meet them, they are completely different. So it was finally great to put faces to the voices of all the colleagues I deal with.

I leave you with this collage of photos (courtesy of Liz Gatsios) taken at our Xmas party.

MERRY XMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
