First of all thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate a colleague for our second round of CCS Star Awards for 2021, we had a total of 24 nominations with some individuals receiving more than one nomination which is fantastic.
It’s great to see so many of you recognising others who are living and breathing our Culture Essentials. It was a tough decision to make but as we announced at the recent town hall, our winners for this round were as follows:
Karine Tomlin, EA to SVP & Business Administrator for Improve, Communicate & Empower
Karine was nominated by six different people, taking a quarter of the nominations, just incredible! Here are a few snippets of what people had to say about Karine:
“Karine deserves a medal for supporting us through the O365 migration! Big thank you for taking one for the team.”
“Karine is always available to help when it is needed. She is also good at keeping in touch in a friendly way.”
“Karine’s continued determination to get all of the remaining CCS team over onto Office 365 is amazing. She is extremely diligent in understanding lots of different issues and niggles (some user error I’m sure) but she always communicates well so you know where things stand. Her desire to improve the connectivity between our different locations knows no bounds. Amazing job Karine, keep smiling!”
Holger Vatter, Senior Safety Engineer for Communicate. Here’s what Holger’s nominator had to say about him:
“Across the various XL projects, Holger has built great connections with numerous stakeholders, both internally and externally. Including the shipyards, site teams, brands, class societies, flag authorities and multiple suppliers. These connections and his efficient communication style have allowed Holger to resolve challenging issues promptly and efficiently, greatly benefiting CCS and the corporation. The value of working relationships and the effort put in by Holger to build this network cannot be overstated and has been vital during the delivery of S.709 and 1394.”
