Matthew Grech from GO’s Fixed Networks Plan & Build section has been named as the Company’s ‘Employee of the Year’ for 2015. During an awards presentation, a number of other GO employees were also rewarded for their significant contribution over the final six months of last year.

GO operates two staff recognition awards. These are the Star Awards and the Gold Awards. The Star Awards give employees the opportunity to nominate colleagues who they believe delivered an outstanding performance in one, or more, of five categories, namely; Innovation, Customer Service Excellence, Integrity and Trust, Teamwork and Above and Beyond, The Gold Award gives Senior Managers and Chief Officers the opportunity to recognise employees who make an exceptional contribution.

Matthew Grech was, in fact, also the winner of the Gold Award for the third quarter of 2015, while Pierre Ferrante from Human Resources won the Award for the final quarter of the year for his work on improving the HR team’s IT systems to simplify and facilitate their work.

The Star Award winners for the third quarter of 2015 were; Karl Stevens for Above and Beyond, Ron Bonnici for Customer Service Excellence, Terry Borg for Innovation, Anne Marie Borg for Teamwork and Luke Borg for Integrity and Trust. The winners for the year’s final quarter were; Marlon Mercieca for Above and Beyond, Tyrone Mifsud Customer Service Excellence, Maria Cassar for Teamwork and Antonella Lia and Ian Bugeja for Integrity and Trust.

GO’s Contact Centre Team also won a Team Recognition award following an impressive 95.8 per cent score in a mystery shopping exercise, which highlighted the team’s commitment to customer service.

Yiannos Michaelides, CEO at GO plc, said, “The Star and Gold Awards give GO employees and the management team an opportunity to reward all those who go the extra mile to help us achieve our goals. Many of our employees are doing some really great work and have been deservedly recognised, none more
than Matthew who during the past year brought together his team together with colleagues from across other IT and Engineering sections across GO to successfully deliver a new Voice Over Broad Band infrastructure.”
