L’Auberge du Lac Names May Five Star Employees
LAKE CHARLES, La. — L’Auberge du Lac Hotel & Casino, a $370 million Texas Hill Country-themed resort in Lake Charles, La., recently announced its May Five Star Employees. For only the second time since the recognition program was formed, six deserving Five Star employees were chosen for their exceptional customer service.
The May Five Stars are: Judy Chastain, a L’Club representative; Courtney Young, a server at Nevie Beach Club; Ramanda Barton-Dixie, a hotel front desk clerk; Jarrod Andrus, a golf maintenance attendant; Gregory Lewis, a building and grounds porter; and Henry Sallier, a baker.
Each month, L’Auberge recognizes five employees, or Five Stars, for their service skills. All of these employees went to great lengths to uphold L’Auberge’s quality and image as the most successful and respected entertainment destination in the South. In May, six employees deserved the honor, and the program was adjusted to reflect the additional achievements.
In recognition for their hard work, the employees receive a substantial cash prize, a personalized L’Auberge gift, a month of VIP parking and gift certificates. The employees received their awards on May 29 at a special Recognition Luncheon held in their honor. The Five Stars are now eligible to receive the coveted Employee of the Year award.
