UAE-headquartered hospitality company, TIME Hotels,
has added the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry (Dubai Chamber) CSR
Label Award for H1 2020, to its growing list of accolades, for the sixth year
in succession.
TIME Hotels was recognised for initiatives such
as its ‘Sanitised & Ready’ campaign, which includes a range of new
intensified cleaning measures and sanitisation procedures which were implemented
throughout all public areas as well as in each individual guestroom.
The improved protocol includes detailed
infection control which focuses on the disinfection of all hotel
transportation, reception areas, elevators, public rest rooms and guestrooms as
well as all F&B outlets and kitchens. Additionally, initiatives were put in
place to boost morale and promote positive wellbeing among all of its staff
members, as well as improving the guest experience across its portfolio of
properties.

Eddie Ignatius, Corporate Director of
Quality & Business Excellence, TIME Hotels, said: “We were applauded by
Dubai Chamber’s Centre for Responsible Business for our initiatives and
commitment to encouraging and developing CSR plans and activities. To be
recognised for the sixth year in a row, not only underscores that commitment to
our social responsibilities it also highlights our consistency.
The personal
development of all team members is a key focus, with TIME Hotels dedicating a
set amount of working hours to allow them to catch up on e-learning modules.
Furthermore, through performance-related personal training and development
plans, staff are encouraged to broaden their existing skill sets with a range
of employee engagement activities.
Mohamed
Awadalla, CEO, TIME Hotels, said: “Boosting staff
morale is essential during these challenging times and as a result we’re
working hard to ensure that we cultivate a warm and constructive working environment,
conducive to positive mental health. The
current crisis will pass, and I want our staff to be fully motivated when all
of the travel and social restrictions have been lifted.”
Launched in 2010 to reward
corporate commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, the
CSR Label is awarded based on performance scores across seven different
criteria including human resources (training, development, welfare,
Emiratisation), client relations, business development, procurement, environment,
health and safety, innovation and community; with Dubai Chamber also measuring
the resulting impact in four key areas, namely workplace, marketplace,
community and environmental.
His Excellency Majid Saif Al
Ghurair, Chairman of Dubai Chamber, said: “The
benefits of participating in the Dubai Chamber CSR Label initiative are
far-reaching and go well beyond the recognition as the framework is designed to
help companies evaluate their social and environmental impact and CSR
practices, and identify key strengths, as well as areas where they can improve
and enhance competitiveness.”
