When you look at Mr. Sardar and his department, you do not see a team reporting to a head; instead you see a team working together as colleagues. With just the appropriate level of direction required and extending complete support, Mr. Sardar has successfully managed to keep his team well above the satisfaction level of our employee engagement survey percentage. Heading a challenging team comprising colleagues who can converse only in regional languages and some who cannot understand, read or write the formal business language- English, Mr. Sardar, spends quality time in cascading all the required information to each and every member of his team and is consistently the first person in the hotel to submit all the requirements related to our performance management, audits and trainings. Then it is not a surprise that he is one of the few department who has been performing exceedingly well on the Quarterly Learning & Development Reviews and that when you say ‘Sardar’ to his team, there appears a reassuring smile on each and every member’s face, just to know that he is there for them.
