A popular resort in Mellieħa has announced a flurry of bonuses and financial contributions aimed at helping its Third-Country National workforce following a number of measures in this year’s Budget which will significantly increase their daily costs in Malta.“Listening is only the first step. Acting is what truly matters,” Ramla Bay Resort announced on LinkedIn yesterday. “Following discussions between the owners and the Executive Team, we are proud to announce a number of new initiatives aimed at supporting our employees, enhancing their wellbeing, and strengthening our commitment to being an employer of choice.”Starting in January next year, the resort will provide each of its TCN workers with “a contribution of up to €400 upon their work permit renewal to help cover the associated additional expenses”.The resort is also launching a company-wide Service Bonus, aimed at “recognising the dedication, commitment, and exceptional service our colleagues deliver every day”.An entirely new fund named the Ramla Bay Resort Employee Social & Wellbeing Fund, fully funded by the company, is also being launched.“We will provide training support for colleagues wishing to attend Maltese language courses and participate in the I Belong Programme, helping them integrate further into Maltese society and develop new opportunities for themselves and their families.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lovin Malta (@lovinmalta)“These initiatives are more than benefits; they reflect who we are,” the post continued. “At Ramla Bay Resort, we believe in supporting people, recognising contributions, and creating opportunities for growth and success. We recognise that these initiatives will not resolve every concern. However, they are concrete steps towards providing support and recognising the people who keep this resort moving every day.”“We thank our colleagues for their work, their openness, and the care they show to our guests and to one another,” the statement finished. “They look after our guests. They deserve to feel looked after too.”People have already taken to social media to congratulate the resort on its new initiatives, encouraging other companies to introduce similar concepts.Do you think Malta needs more of these initiatives?•
