The Bold Hotel is sending members of their staff jetting off around the world thanks to an employee incentive scheme.
The winners of the scheme, which was designed to reward staff for their hard work, were announced at an awards ceremony at the hotel on Monday evening.
Joanna Balcius, a member of bar staff at the Bold Hotel and Punch Tarmey’s on Lord Street, was the winner of the first prize and she is jetting off to New York after coming out on top of the points scoring system.
The incentive scheme was launched in August 2016 and staff were eligible for points depending on several factors, including showing willingness to support the Bold’s ethos, and provide excellent customer service.
Joanna came in first place, winning a three night trip to New York. Her husband, Mantas Balcius, who is a door supervisor at Punch Tarmey’s will accompany her on the trip.
In second place, and winning a trip to Amsterdam, was Tracey Booth who works front of house. In third place, winning a trip to London was kitchen assistant Tomasz Grosz.
After the awards ceremony, all staff were given tickets to the Service Industry Ball to celebrate.
Joanna who started working at the Bold Hotel in March 2016, said: “I am over the moon to have won the trip, I can’t quite believe it.
“But, I have worked hard over the last few months and it is amazing that it is recognised in this way. I’ve never been to America before so I cannot wait.
“The management have really helped me to learn new skills and develop and I am grateful to them for their support. There is a great team of staff at the Bold and Punch Tarmey’s and they make going to work very enjoyable.”
Andrew Mikhail, owner of the Bold Hotel and Punch Tarmey’s, said: “We like to reward staff for their hard work when they go above and beyond what is expected of them, so we saw this scheme as an excellent way of monitoring this.
“Joanna has demonstrated her commitment to the company, as have Tracey and Tomasz, through their hard work and willingness to get stuck in. We hope she has a wonderful time in New York – she deserves it!”
The Bold Hotel underwent an extensive refurbishment early last year and offers stylish surroundings whether it’s somewhere to dine, or to enjoy a drink and a catch up with friends. The hotel has 25 spacious and luxuriously appointed en-suite bedrooms.
