Twelve Months of Health and Wellness at Admiral

Ministry of Health (MOH) has had a fantastic year! We kicked off 2011 with our yoga classes and things quickly picked up by the summer with our first instalment of on-site massage- A huge hit with our staff!

In June, we encouraged our staff to take some time out for themselves. The Hair Studio was on site with prizes, free consultations and lots of sample products for guys and girls. They even offered free trims and flat iron services. It was such a hit that our staff have asked to have them back next year!

A Warm Welcome from Henry our CEO

Henry came to our office this summer to welcome aboard over 100 new members of the Admiral Halifax team and delivered them their jigsaw pieces representing that each of us is integral in achieving the big picture. While he was visiting he treated 7 of our top members to a star lunch, where he presented each of them with a Star Performer plaque to recognize their stellar performance which has shines through in everything they do in our office. The luncheon was held at one of Halifax’s oldest and best known restaurants; McKelvies, on a sunny summer’s day and there were smiles all round as the staff enjoyed the opportunity to get to know Henry a bit better and be presented with their plaques as a thank you for all their hard work and dedication to Admiral.

Admiral Dragons

Whether it was the Welsh Water Dragons team paddling up a storm at the Dragon Boat Festival or the Admiral Dragons hitting ’em out of the park at the Annual Contact Centre Softball Tournament, our teammates were everywhere this summer taking metro by storm and raising money for a number of very worthwhile causes in the community. Kudos to everyone who participated and fundraised this summer, our donations to charity for the IWK and Kidsport totaled over $3000.00. Well done Dragons, well done indeed!
