One of our core values is being heroes of safe and well and recently on Aurora they brought this value to life with a safety poster competition.
Colleagues were invited to use their creativity to design a poster that encourages everyone to be a HESS hero. All the poster entries were displayed around the Crystal Pool at the entrance to the crew eating area and attracted a lot of interest and discussion around HESS.
Posters were judged on both creative interpretation and uniqueness of concept with colleagues on board voting for their favourite designs. The prize up for grabs was an Apple iPad Mini, with treats and P&O Cruises merchandise for the runners up.
There was a total of 15 entries overall and over 50% of colleagues on board placed their votes for their favourite design. Tanmay Banik, Hotel Assistant (HOAS), was named winner for his Simpson’s inspired poster, and received a personal tour of the Bridge alongside his iPad Mini.
Tamnay said; ‘Never in my dreams did I think I would be privileged to meet the Captain and have a tour of the Bridge in my first contract!’
The standard of posters was so high that all entrants were nominated as heroes of safe and well and issued with a certificate and small gift for their efforts, as well as a small gift.
Congratulations to everyone involved for creatively bringing our core values to life!
