Thanking star employers from Bankstown to Beaudesert |
| 24 October 2011 |
 After receiving 776 employer nominations for the inaugural Mission Australia Employer Awards, our Employment Solutions sites are now busy announcing the local award winner in each region/site at local events. From Bankstown to Beaudesert, Mission Australia received a fantastic response to the new awards, which are a celebration of the support given by Australian businesses in giving unemployed people a “fair go.” Earlier this month 18 of the 22 local employers nominated in the Canterbury/Bankstown area of Sydney attended a three course lunch at the Bankstown Sports Club. The local award winner for Punchbowl in that region was extra special to Mission Australia, being a former Mission Australia client. Tony Boustany, came to our Employment Solutions site in Punchbowl looking for work, and now owns and manages a successful website design company. While looking for work Tony completed a TAFE course in website design and then successfully completed the Mission Australia-operated NEIS program. Tony’s business is growing each day and he has been working with Mission Australia Employment Solutions for his recruitment needs – employing several candidates from the Canterbury/Bankstown region. On the same day, Lyndall Whittall, Regional Manager, joined other team members from the Penrith Employment Solutions site to present the Penrith Local Employer Award to the winner, Crafty Chef. “We presented the management team with a certificate, a hamper of goodies and an invitation to a celebratory lunch. “The team were absolutely thrilled to have won the award,” said Lyndall. In some of our other smaller Employment Solutions “(ES) regions, such as Nepean, Windamere, Riverland, Eden, Ulladulla, Albury, Yass, Merimbula, our ES Business Managers and Regional Managers visited their local employer winner at their workplace to congratulate them and take them out for a celebratory meal.  |
