GOLDEN STAR HONOURS 153 WORKERS (PAGE 31, MARCH 8. 2010)

GOLDEN Star (Wassa Mines) Limited, a gold mining company at Akyempim in the Mpohor Wassa East District in the Western Region, has honoured 153 employees for their long, dedicated and meritorious services to the company.
The award winners, who had served the company between five and 10 years, received roofing sheets, bags of cement, refrigerators and certificates of merit.
At the ceremony, the General Manager of Golden Star (Wassa Mines), Mr Mike Mracek, said the award would encourage the workers to work harder and to take good care of their families.
He advised the workers to think more about safety in the mine, adding that the company had worked for millions of hours in the past years without any injury.
The Mines Manager of Golden Star, Mr Henry Tandoh, stated that the workforce was the most single asset of every company so it was important for the company to institute such an award.
He said the awards should serve as a challenge for the workers to be productive to ensure the growth of the company to enable them also to benefit.
Mr Tandoh suggested that in future the awards should be provided in the form of shares for the award winners to own shares in the company.
The chief of Mamponso Division of Wassa, Nana Kwamina Damoah, said the workers were not only honoured for their long services, but also for their dedicated services rendered to the company.
He said the awards should serve as a landmark for them to continue to work hard.
