Dear Colleagues,
2011 was a tremendous year for Starwood! Across the globe, our GSI scores hit record levels and our RevPAR Index also hit an all-time high. Performance in Asia Pacific was also terrific – over the year we have signed 50 new hotel deals and opened 36 new hotels.
Our company is entering 2012 in great shape and with momentum behind all our brands. All this was achieved thanks to everyone who lived up to our strong culture of playing as a team. It is exactly this culture and spirit that inspires others and sets us apart from our competition.
With the upcoming President’s (Divisional) Awards 2012, we would like to take the opportunity to recognize and present the STARWOOD CARES President’s Awards to our most outstanding Associates, Teams and Leaders from the Asia Pacific Division.
In view of this, we are requesting for properties in our Division to put forth their very best nominees for the awards. These awards include the Individual Awards for Outstanding Care for Associates, Guests, and Business Awards and Outstanding Talent Developer Award, the Team Awards for Outstanding Team Award and Outstanding Care for Community Award to recognize individuals and teams that have made significant achievements in the respective categories.
For this year’s President’s Award, the qualifying period for which our Associates/Teams have demonstrated exemplary acts or achievements should occur between 1 Jan 2011 – 31 Dec 2011. The nomination details are provided in the next few pages of this document. Winners will be invited to receive their awards at our Starwood Asia Pacific Divisional Awards Gala Dinner in Singapore on 12 April 2012.
**Please note that all nominations are to be sent using the nomination format provided with this note to the Division Office at ap.training@starwoodhotels.com.
The Starwood Cares President’s Awards will be administered by Francis Tan, VP Talent Management & Organization Development and his team. All nominations and any further enquiries can be sent to the above e-mail address.
