Recruitment
Do you know someone who has done something truly amazing in the name of charity? Have they made a real difference by fundraising in their own time?
Anyone who works in the Rail industry can be nominated in this category. The charity they have raised money for does not need to be a Rail based charity.
This is a new award for 2013 and will be given in honour of David Maidment who founded the Railway Children Charity.
Here's how you nominate:
To nominate some one you believe deserves to win the David Maidment Award for Charity, first write down in rough what you most admire about the person: cheerfulness, positive thinking, companionship, a person who stands by his/her mates, a person who never misses a day at work, a newcomer who goes out of his or her way to learn and absorb the art of working on the railway. This will help clarify in your own mind why you are going ahead with the nomination.
Next, write down a specific incident which typifies the qualities you know this person has.
This can all be done on the nomination page. Please click Nominate Now above to access this.
Finally discuss all this with your manager or director. He or she will need to be happy that the nomination can go forward. If as a manager you are proposing a member of staff do, please, make sure they are fully aware of what you are up to and that he or she agrees to be nominated.
RailStaff will contact the person being nominated to check that they are happy to go into the final list being put forward to the judges.
At any stage of the process feel free to contact RailStaff. We can help with advice on how to draft a nomination.
“Thank you for another fantastic RailStaff Awards event. As usual, the attention to detail was perfect, and all aspects of the evening were perfect. We had 23 GWR colleagues attending, and all couldn't stop talking about how magical the experience was. Their Facebook feeds are very busy this morning with lots of photos! We were privileged to secure a win for Rail Person of the Year (Pete White) and a highly commend in the Samaritans Life Saver Award (Nathan Stockman), and also have the opportunity to sponsor and hand over an award (Rail Manager of the Year). GWR is extremely proud of being a regular sponsor of the event, and of being able to play it's part in celebrating the fantastic work of UK rail industry colleagues. Looking forward to next year already!”
