A total of 22 awards were presented to MaltaPost staff members recognising them for their continuous commitment in achieving the highest quality and best results during the last financial year which ended in September 2013.
The awards were handed to the winners during the Company's Annual Staff Meeting which welcomed all MaltaPost staff from the head office as well as the different delivery hubs and post offices. 11 individual awards were handed out whilst four group awards were given. The Employee of the year was given to Doreen Mizzi who works in the MaltaPost San Gwann Delivery Hub.
MaltaPost is also the holder of the EMS Cooperative Performance Award (Silver Level) for its performance in 2012. EMS is an international postal Express Mail Service for documents and merchandise, offered by postal operators of the Universal Postal Union.
During his address at the Annual Staff Meeting, MaltaPost's Chairman Joseph Said gave a review of the annual results for 2013 and referred to the diversification strategy of the Company's product and service portfolio as the most effective response to counter the impact of declining mail volumes in the traditional postal market.
The awards were presented by Mr Said together with MaltaPost's Chief Executive Officer Joseph Gafa' who congratulated the winners whilst thanking all the Company's staff for their hard work throughout 2013, which was another positive year for the Company in spite of the challenges that the postal sector continues to face.
