The “Eleanor Cares Awards” was held on 27th April 2021. There was a total of 249 nominations and Jean-Marc Flambert, the Communications Director, explained the difficulty of choosing winners as almost all were found deserving of an award. The ceremony therefore highlighted a 38 randomly selected entries, and it was decided to award everyone a medal in recognition of the valiant work and dedication in a year that brought many professional and personal challenges.
Marc Santhi, CEO commented after the event, “I am a firm believer in creating an environment that brings the best out of our staff and service users. We make a promise to every employee and customer to “Know You, Value You and Challenge You”. Despite the last twelve months, being the most challenging for the care sector, our incredible Eleanor carers continue to strive for excellence and continue to leave no stone un- turned in the pursuit of the best for their service users (customers).
Yesterday, at the “Eleanor Cares Awards 2021”, we paused for a moment and reflected on what everyone at Eleanor has achieved. It is so easy to take heroic actions for granted in this sector. Once again, I was humbled and reminded how privileged I am, to be leading this wonderful army of workers across the country. Each and every one of our employees deserves a medal for what they have done; it is absolutely essential that we recognise each and every one of them without exception. We know what they do, we know them as individuals, we value them and so, yesterday we paused to recognise them.
