A
NOTE
TO
OUR
READERS
It is that time
of year again… As
we head into the last quarter of the
year, we shift our focus back to the
Employee Excellence Awards – which
takes place in January 2014. The event
aims to push staff to excel and receive
recognition for their hard work. We
wish everyone the best of luck as the
selection process takes place.
I quote Henning Fries “It is easy to
overlook the people behind”. But
the Sawalef team takes pride in
highlighting the people behind the
scenes. In the Autumn issue, we meet
the Stewarding Department at the
Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa
and hear from Chef Paul Hage.
We welcome newcomers to the Al
Habtoor Group and newcomers to the
world, babies Reuben and Nathan…
As Al Habtoor Motors welcomes its
eco-friendly car, Subhro Chakraborti
explains how he has become a ‘Green
Man’ and we reveal 10 tips to a greener
work life.
Stay healthy, keep your cholesterol in
check, and follow our health tips on
page 14. And to top it off, enter the
competition on page 17 and win a spa
voucher. Good luck!
