Millennium Airport Hotel Dubai recently organised its yearly free medical check-up on 13 March for its employees, led by the hotel’s Human Resources team and in collaboration with First Response Healthcare.

Held at the hotel’s training room, the medical examination included a check-up for blood pressure, sugar, BMI, optical and dental consultation.

Mr Simon Moore, General Manager of Millennium Airport Hotel Dubai, said, “In order for us to take care of our guests and achieve our goal of providing a healthy working environment, we always put our colleague’s health and safety as our priority as they play a significant role in the company’s success. We would like them to stay healthy, feel secure and comfortable so they can fulfill their tasks productively.”

More than 100 hotel employees went for the medical check-up and received useful advice on how to maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle. Through this exercise, they were reminded on the importance of good health and encouraged to take better care of their health.

The hotel also supported Earth Hour on 25 March by switching off non-essential lights from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM to show its commitment to addressing environmental issues and to raise awareness on the impact of energy conservation.

Several activities were implemented such as turning down the lights in the lobby, restaurants and other public areas and encouraging guests to participate by placing letters in the guest rooms as a reminder to do the same. The Human Resources team also prepared some fun activities and games to reward employees for minimal consumption of water and electricity.

Commenting on the initiative, Mr Simon Moore said, “It’s an honour for us to support the Earth Hour movement because it echoes our Green key strategy and ambition to be the driving force of a more sustainable hospitality industry. Supporting Earth Hour reflects our goal to practice sustainability and energy conservation every year.”
