In its 28th year, The National Kindness Award—Service Gold recognises service staff in the Hotel Industry who had displayed exemplary service and gracious behaviour during their course of work.

History and Background

Established in 1994, the National Kindness Award – Service Gold was incepted by the then Singapore Courtesy Council and Singapore Hotel Association (SHA) to recognise and honour hotel staff who have gone the extra mile in their line of duty. This award is a celebration of the triumph in kindness in the hospitality industry. It is opened to both the Rank & File and Managerial level of hotel employees who had displayed kind acts of courtesy at their workplace.

In 2003, to appreciate guests who have exhibited exemplary graciousness to the service staff, a new category of ‘Gracious Guests’ have been introduced to thank those who have shown us the importance of reciprocating kindness and graciousness.

Over the years, the National Kindness Award – Service Gold has seen an increased in the number of participating hotels and have recognised over 1400 hotel staff since its inception.
