Our staff and volunteers are our greatest asset, displaying hard work, commitment and passion on a daily basis. We want to create a culture where there are lots of opportunities to say “thank you” and be an organisation that our staff are proud to be a part of.
How do the monthly awards work?
Each month we will have three winners:
- An Individual Valued Star
- A Team Valued Star
- A Health and Wellbeing Hero
The monthly awards are about recognising individuals and teams who have gone the extra mile in the way they demonstrate any or all of our Trust values of compassion, respect, integrity and trust as well as our Leadership Behaviours:
Supporting staff health and wellbeing remains a priority for us at LPT. The Health and Wellbeing Hero will go to an individual who has gone above and beyond to raise the profile of and improve the health and wellbeing of colleagues either locally or across the Trust.
April’s winner
April’s Valued Star winner is…
Our Voluntary Transport Drivers!
Nominating the team of drivers, Gala Suarez (voluntary transport coordinator) and Suresh Dhiman (voluntary transport administrator) said:
“We would like to nominate all the volunteer transport drivers for going above and beyond; continuing to volunteer throughout the pandemic by delivering medication to our patients that are vulnerable and shielding.
They have gone the extra mile, not just delivering medication, but also sandwiches for our nurses last year when lockdown started, Easter eggs and uniforms.”
Both Angela Hillery, CEO, and Sarah Willis, director of HR and OD, recorded personal messages for the drivers where their efforts were praised.
Watch Angela’s and Sarah’s messages here.
Mike Bland, one of our drivers said:
“I’m overwhelmed to receive the award but I’m just a small part of a superb team and this includes the team working in the office and many others who are passionate in the work that they do.”
Well done and thank you to the Voluntary Transport Drivers for living our values.
