The winners of this year’s BSCAA Queensland AustralianSuper Excellence Awards have been announced.
The awards acknowledge the contributions and achievements of employers and employees in the contract cleaning and security industry.
Mark Nipper, president of BSCAA Queensland, said the awards, now in its tenth year, still hold significant relevance to the industry, with 68 nominations and more than 150 guests in attendance.
“While cleaning is the outcome we generate, our job is really to look after a workforce and motivate them to clean up other peoples messes,” Nipper said.
“I know from personal experience that this type of recognition provides a massive boost to team morale and the outcomes you can generate as a business.
“I don’t know one person who doesn’t respond positively to a pat on the back and the excellence awards are the perfect forum to do just that. ”
For individual nominations, applicants needed to address specific criteria, such as how the nominee achieved outstanding success in a professional capacity, their professional development, and details about their outstanding commitment.
For company nominations, is was training culture and best practices for their employees, best environmental practices and innovative ideas that improved results at the workplace.
“With so many nominations submitted, it is evident that our staff are highly valued and as well as drive to improve business culture continuously.”
This year also saw the introduction of a new award, Commitment to Diversity.
The award recognises critical policies in attracting diverse new recruitment within the industry, equipping them with the skills they need, encouraging continuous development, empowerment and career progression.
The inaugural award was given to Sharman Property Services.
“I would like to congratulate each and every one of these nominees because you have achieved something remarkable and we are all here to acknowledge and recognise that achievement.”
