In his remarks at the event, Governor Dr. Kevin Greenidge drew on the night’s theme, highlighting the Bank’s efforts to support and develop staff while encouraging them to invest in themselves as well. “If we elevate you and you elevate yourselves, and if we empower you and you accept that power and utilise it judiciously, the only thing that can follow is that you excel and the Bank excels.”
He also encouraged the attendees to “feel a sense of ownership of the Bank and its work beyond your specific niche and see it as your responsibility to provide our publics with the best service possible.”
In addition to recognising employees for their length of service, the ceremony featured special awards presented to staff in categories such as “Going Above and Beyond the Call of Duty,” “Service Excellence,” “Innovation,” and “Exemplary Work.” The Bank also rewarded several employees and teams for their team spiritedness and community involvement and acknowledged the security officer who was the best marksman. The official portion of the evening culminated with Dr. Greenidge presenting the Governor’s Award.
