TGI Fridays has this month thanked 100 of its most hard-working team members, officially recognising them as ‘Friday’s Legends’ at an awards ceremony in Liverpool.
Each Legend received an all-expenses-paid trip to the ceremony, staying in the city’s luxury Titanic hotel. The Legends started the evening by enjoying a cocktail event, followed by a VIP experience at the UK Bartender Championships. The next day they were whisked off to a private, secret gig in Liverpool’s famous Cavern music club.
The Legends were chosen following a vote amongst Friday’s 4,500 team members, with an incredible 2,069 nominations received – showing what a truly engaged team Fridays has nationwide.
For an engaged and passionate workforce…
Director of Culture and People Development at TGI Fridays, Jacqui McManus, commented:
“Recognition of team members is an absolute basic if you are aiming for an engaged and passionate workforce, and is a core principle for us at Fridays. The Legends awards are just one of many recognition and cultural programmes we offer team members; we are a people-led brand, therefore creating a strong team culture is imperative to our success.
“Our aim is to ensure that all team members feel valued and appreciated, and that everyone fully understands how they contribute to our brand, to each-other and to our guests. We have numerous recruitment, induction and training programmes that are tailored to suit each individual team member, so once someone joins us, we do everything possible to keep them.”
