Tristar is the only oil and gas logistics service provider in the UAE to win this award
Oil and gas logistics service provider Tristar Group was declared the winner of the Corporate Happiness Award—Private Sector at the Daman Corporate Health Awards 2018 held in Abu Dhabi recently.
The Daman Corporate Health Awards recognise companies that place importance on employee health and wellness through various programs and initiatives.
Earlier in April, the company received the “Best Workers Welfare Programme” award at the Happiness @ Work award ceremony organised by Sustainable Mindz in Dubai. The Happiness @ Work Award recognizes forward thinking firms that institute positivism and a sense of belonging at the workplace and believe that happy employees create high performing institutions.
Tristar takes good care of its drivers and ground staff with the ‘Drivers’ Professional League’ (DPL) Programme which encourages drivers to be more proactive in HSE activities as well as recognises and rewards safe drivers.
Tristar has implemented programs to upgrade the skills of drivers and ground staff such as facilitating Computer and English classes. Nineteen of them just ‘graduated’ from the SmartReading program which developed their English language skills for almost five months conducted at the company staff accommodation in Jebel Ali.
The company is encouraging its office and admin staff to be healthy by introducing the ‘Walk, Lose Weight and Be Healthy’ program. Last year the initiative saw almost 90 staff participate. Their weight was recorded at the start and end of the 63-day period in the last quarter and they were given wrist pedometers to record their daily steps.
“Each one of you and your collective power continue to be our number one strength and your happiness and well-being will continue to be a top priority for us,” remarked Tristar Group CEO Eugene Mayne.
He instituted the ‘Recreation and Happiness Committee’ in 2017 whose aim is to get employees together and organise events which create a happy and conducive atmosphere within the company.
