WHY WAS SHE NOMINATED?

With her quiet and modest demeanor, June has proven herself to be an extremely valuable associate at the Doha Marriott, dealing with a variety of difficult, emotional and testing situations. Working in an environment with hot kitchen equipment, engineering tools and heavy machinery, to name a few, June recognised the significance for having dedicated hotel associates trained in first aid. She was instrumental in setting up the training and organising it along with the loss prevention team. During a fatal bus crash in April 2013 involving hotel associates, when 21 employees were injured, including three associates in critical condition, June visited the associates at the hospital on a daily basis acting as a liaison between the hotel and the hospital. She ensured that every surviving associate was taken care of, arranging follow up appointments when necessary, making home visits to the less critically injured associates, and even providing medical care to associates in terms of re-dressing bandages etc.

WHAT DID HER TEAM SAY?

“Since being diagnosed with cancer in June 2013, June has been doing a great job helping me through. June came with me to the hospital to get all the information and guidance I needed for my treatment. June was always in contact with me at home to follow up with me and assisting me to my appointments. She has been dedicated to helping me, with no benefit to herself. I would like to thank her for her outstanding job and the support I received from her during my treatment.” Mitra Neupane, laundry valet
