Staff off duty skills at the Old Lodge Malton have been identified as a new team building and motivation initiative.
The wide range of skills such as being a Qualified English Federation of Body Builders judge, a film screen writer, an author and an accomplished linguist are just some of the skills members of staff have explained they do when off duty.
A staff briefing session identified individual members of staff and Hotel manager of the hotel, Eileen Lowery decided to harness their collective skills as part of the personal development and motivational activities within the team.
“It’s amazing what is right under your nose and when we started thinking about the potential for the team in being able to use their other interests to further their work and at the same time help them to enjoy it more, it became obvious that we should try to harness it” Comments Eileen Lowery, hotel manager.
Nicola Evans is the screenwriter and will now be putting those skills to use in preparing descriptions for the hotel’s special events. Marina Kottermair is a German linguist and as well as her mother tongue, speaks fluent English, French and Latin and will be responsible for all translation in print, online and in person, Adam Grey is a writer and is to take over the role of copy writing and checking hotel print and online written collateral.
“My team are very accomplished generally and this will hopefully add more fulfilment to their everyday job here at the hotel. As for myself, I am the qualified English Federation of Body Building judge, so I can make sure they are on top form!” added Eileen.
