Park Inn Muscat recognised its employees’ efforts and service to the company and held the ‘employee of the year award’ for its staff. Hiba Al Syyad, a Jordanian national, walked away with the honours.

A statement from the hotel said this initiative is a way to express gratitude towards the hotel’s employees. Al Syyad works in the front office department and began working with the hotel in 2013 as a senior receptionist. Her efforts earned her a promotion to service manager in 2015.

Park Inn Duqm cluster general manager Rabih Zein said the criteria for nomination was based on a few parameters such as: demonstrating a YIC (Yes I Can!) attitude, working as a team player, taking responsibility, showing enthusiasm, dedication to superior customer service and satisfaction and helping create profits for the hotel.

She is now a role model for all our employees who aspire to win the award," said Zein.

The Women in Leadership programme is a strong pillar within the group’s proposition and embeds powerful support for diversity and inclusion within its structure.
