Staff members have had to go the extra mile at a time when there are fewer resources and unfilled vacant posts due to financial constraints...
—HE the Governor, Mr. Stuart Jack
Ninety-three civil servants have been identified by internal and external customers as providing quality customer service.
Ranging from department heads to waste collectors, they are all nominees for the third annual Governor's Five-Star Award for Customer Excellence (FACE) competition.
"I am delighted at the number of government employees nominated this year - a time that has presented more than normal challenges," His Excellency the Governor, Mr. Stuart Jack, CVO, said.
The Governor noted that the awards take on additional meaning this year, and said, "Staff members have had to go the extra mile at a time when there are fewer resources and unfilled vacant posts due to financial constraints, spurred on by a global recession."
Mr. Jack said, "Customers nevertheless expect high standards and the awards are at once an endorsement and an encouragement."
He added that, while the actual winners represent a mere handful of hardworking government employees, the sheer number of nominees gives a fuller picture of those deserving appreciation.
The winners will be announced at the Government House awards function on Wednesday, 4 November, FACE Programme Coordinator Ailene Holder said. "We are excited and expect a good turnout for the event."
