On Monday, the 7th of December the second GPT People First Awards took place at Sydney’s prestigious Museum of Contemporary Arts.
The annual GPT People First Awards acknowledge the importance of a strong, dedicated team by recognising efforts of individuals and teams. We are extremely pleased to announce that Assetlink took out two awards at the event!
"This was a secret nomination as Ismail would never let us (the team at Melbourne Central) recognise him for anything, always preferring to recognise what he considers the far more deserving members of his team… This isn’t about one story, to choose just one would be impossible! Ismail is the poster child for the “Can Do” and has worked tirelessly with his team nurturing and empowering a solution driven culture that produces a great team experience at Melbourne Central. Nothing is impossible, be it 24 days’ notice or 24 minutes same response “we can do”! He will always seeks a solution for guests, his team or the GPT team. I never ceased to be amazed at what Ismail can achieve; there is an endless supply of rabbits in his hat!! Ismail has never accepted an award at centre level always preferring to recognise the efforts of his team. I am so incredibly proud to have him heading up my GEM’s.”
"The entire GEM team (at Chirnside Park) are an absolute pleasure to work with. The numerous and consecutive 5 Star Ratings the team receives is a testament to their dedication and commitment in achieving the highest standard. What really makes the team shine is their collaborative, genuine and passionate approach. The team is so well received by guests they’ve wanted to offer our GEM’s tips for such excellent service as well as taking the time to send through numerous thank-you cards and letters to show their appreciation. It’s this feedback we receive that truly demonstrates the team’s People First culture, upholding our guest focus and always being ready, willing and able to assist in any way. The highlight of the team approach is the cohesion across all disciplines. The entire team takes great pride in everything they achieve with our guests benefiting by having a warm, friendly, inviting and personal experience when visiting Chirnside Park."
