On May 6, nominated team members from across the Sagicor Group of companies, descended onto the Hilton Barbados ballroom to be recognised for their tremendous, and in some cases ‘game-changing’ contributions to the company during 2022.
Under the theme Star Power, the company hosted its 2022 Group Awards showcase, bringing together a cross section of the insurance and financial institution’s sales advisers and administrative team members, from Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, the Eastern Caribbean, Belize, the Dutch Caribbean, and the United States, all of whom were being recognised for their outstanding performances, innovation, impact, dedication, and persistency throughout the year, said a media release.
Several awards were handed out on the night, after the event kicked off with an impressive showing of musical talent by Sagicorians from all around their global operating footprint. Of the most coveted awards up for grabs, the Sagicorian Employee of the Year award, ended in a tie and this year went to two employees, Rabindranath Ramrattan, building maintenance coordinator with Sagicor Life Insurance Trinidad & Tobago Ltd, and Christine Grant, pensions administrator from Sagicor Group Jamaica Limited.
Sagicorian Manager of the Year went to Michelle Higgins, manager – relationship management and people development, Sagicor Group Jamaica Limited, while there was another tie between Barbados’ Tracey Yearwood, customer experience representative, and Sandra Bonnett-Thomas, customer service representative with Sagicor Life (Eastern Caribbean) Inc for the Sagicorian Contributor of the Year.
