🌊 EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH 🌊

Our October Employee of the Month is being awarded to miss Evie who works out front! 👸🏻

Why has Evie won this month?

⭐️ Evie was one of the first front of house team members hired in the process of building our team here at The Castle. Evie from the very first shift just took to the job like a duck to water. Minimal training was necessary, she was just a natural! Since then, she’s conducted herself in a consistent, professional, friendly and confident manner. She’s always on time for work, she’s always great with our customers and she’s just all round everything you want in a team member.

⭐️ With Evie being one of the first hired, things were a bit all over the place. It’s difficult for fully grown adults to get to grips with a brand new workplace with a whole new team, but throw in being a lot younger than a lot of your colleagues, having school, homework and all of the extra curriculars thrown in, it can be a lot to keep up with. Evie has been patient, understanding, flexible, responsible, professional and has continuously shown great maturity.

⭐️ We’ve heard that Evie is a formidable football player, she’s still in school full-time, exam time is approaching, she’s got a lot of friends and yet she just makes life look easy. She’s pulled in a lot of different directions and never once have we heard a complaint from her. She maintains social life, work life, school life and everything else she has going on and she’s never let us down. She turns up to every shift and works her socks off. Our young people have so much going on and to see them displaying this level of commitment is really a testament to their discipline. It’s not easy giving up holidays and nights out with friends and concerts and all the fun things that go on but Evie has over and over again.

⭐️ Evie is a very friendly and confident girl. She carries herself very well and there’s no obvious nervousness when speaking to our customers which is something that can take a lot of people a long time to get to grips with. There’s a skill in being able to adapt to cater to the expectations of customers, some people like to chat and others don’t and Evie has such an awareness of what our customers are looking for. Our customers have a lot of time for Evie and we’ve had some lovely reports from them regarding Evie’s manner in managing their tables. That kind of social skill will take Evie so far in life no matter what she decides to do!

⭐️ Overall, Evie has solidified herself as a key member of the front of house team here. Shes welcoming, professional, responsible, friendly, confident. She’s reliable, hardworking, adaptable. If we were to write a job description for any other young people to join our front of house team, Evie is an exact example of what this industry needs. We are confident that Evie will excel in whatever she decides to do when she leaves school. Academics are so important but Evie naturally possesses social skills and life skills that take people a very long time to master and they will take her far!

Congratulations Evie, a very well deserved win, you should be so proud of yourself! 🥳🥳🥳

💫 EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH 💫

Our October employee of the month is awarded to Lucas, one our newest front of house team members!

Why has Lucas won this month?

⭐️ Lucas has affectionately been given the nickname Smiler because even when he’s not actively smiling, he just looks like he is. Lucas is just the friendliest, most open guy you will find. He leads with sincerity and is so genuine. His intentions are always good, he’s polite, welcoming and tries his best every day. Lucas is a great worker and truly excels in this job and many people do, but what makes Lucas stand out is the sincere effort that comes from him every single day, just because he wants to do a good job.

⭐️ Lucas is naturally a really funny person. Every story he tells typically has the team cracking up. Lucas is such an individual and it’s really lovely to have the young people who work with us feeling comfortable enough to really show us their personalities. Lucas fits in so well with every single team member and it happened right away. With a predominantly female workforce, we can only imagine it was a little bit intimidating being a younger man but Lucas has been funny, respectful, kind and all round just a great guy. He’s definitely a firm favourite among our team.

⭐️ Lucas is still in school and he is very busy! He’s in the middle of an important school year, he has lots of friends but he turns up to every shift, he’s so responsible with any time off needed, he works so hard when he’s here and he’s really taken this job in his stride. This year has seen a huge change in our front of house team with a lot of our young ones moving on to new things after finishing school and a lot of pressure was put on our newer arrivals, Lucas being one of them. He’s really demonstrated great maturity and gotten to grips with things very quickly. With each and every shift we continue to see growth and improvement far beyond what we expect with new staff members.

⭐️ At the end of every single shift, when Lucas is told he can clock off he says, “is there anything else you’d like me to do before I go?” That just sums up the kind of person he is. Always looking to lend a hand, happy to help whenever he can, always has a “can do” attitude. We always say it but we really mean it when we say we truly have some of the hardest working young people here. Quite often, our local young people get a hard time but people like Lucas a truly a great example of what we get to see everyday which is a generation of truly hard working, emotionally intelligent, respectful people.

⭐️ This year has been transformative for the Platform in many different ways. We’re entering a new era and those of us who have been here a long time can feel it but for people like Lucas who started with us this season, won’t know the difference. He’s walked into a job where the stabilisers have had to be put back on while we fall into a new normal again. This season has been challenging with lots of moving parts and Lucas has remained calm, understanding, patient, polite, respectful, friendly, hard working and very funny through it all.

Congratulations Lucas. You’re truly a credit to yourself. You should be very proud! 🥳
