The warmly interactive party held within the hotel on Friday was marked by feasts sharing, music and dances.
The Human Resource Director at Kigali Marriott Hotel, Ms. Yulia Bogdanova told IGIHE that the party is a culture in all Marriott properties worldwide to show staff the great value and importance attached to their work.
“We do this every year to thank them for all they do. Our staff puts a lot of effort to make our guests feel at home, and it is with that reason, that we celebrate them. We had very intense operations in the months back and now we are entering the new half of the year. We want to have a little fun together to celebrate our achievements,” she said.
“That is our culture. We do this often. Last month we had a barbecue for all, before that, we had New Year tea, coffee, and cocktail reception to celebrate the achievements of last year and got a good start for this year. We have a lot to celebrate.”
She added that the party was organized in a way that staff would invite their families and friends, a gesture that made fun and excitement to overflow.
Mr. Simon Nsengiyumva said he was happy with how their employer, Kigali Marriott, values them especially for allowing them to bring in the party their families and friends to celebrate together and show off their workplace.
Ms. Eugenie Dusabimana, whose husband works at the Kigali Marriott, said she was so glad to celebrate with her husband and connect with his workmates at the hotel.
The Kigali Marriott employees’ representative Mr. Robert Wambugu Gituma said the party is held annually and employees are given the opportunity to organize everything about the party.
“This is a busy hotel, our guests have high expectations, thus the staff put extra touches to make (guests) feel at home and enjoy the Marriott experience. So, having an event like this is just another special way to say ‘thank you’ for what they do. We have different departments that were actively participating in making this night a success,” he said.
Kigali Marriott Hotel associates’ party followed a series of the hotel’s other parties including a Wine Tasting in which 10 new types were introduced a day before and an iftar sharing with the Muslim community at Mar’wa Rah’Man Mosque in Rwarutabura, Nyamirambo Sector of Nyarugenge District, two days earlier.
