The Telunas Family's heart keeps beating even after guests travel home because, for their staff, Telunas Resorts is home and fellow staff are family. Like a family that lives together, joining the Telunas Family provides opportunities to strengthen relationships. The Telunas Resorts leadership has embraced this concept and works intentionally to help staff form new habits of encouragement, focused time together, and individual success.
Building a Culture of Encouragement
Telunas Resorts leadership introduces new ways to communicate and encourage one another in a culturally sensitive manner. The resort leadership team has instilled improved communication practices through programs such as monthly small groups, which allow staff to get to know each other better and discuss topics unrelated to the daily grind of work. They also run an extensive family support group, which provides training and open forum discussions on topics ranging from healthy marriages to parenting strategies.
Men now encourage each other to be faithful in their marriages and support each other through hardships. One man recommitted to being faithful to his wife and now urges other struggling men to stand strong in their marriage. Another male staff started helping around the house more - the simple act of doing dishes made his wife cry in relief and joy! These lessons set tangible examples for children, families, and entire villages to replicate.
Love That Ripples Outward
About two years ago, one staff member's wife gave birth to a baby girl many weeks prematurely. The little girl survived miraculously but now faces lifelong challenges. Sadly, this resulted in mocking from neighbors and community members. The family was devastated - but their Telunas Family came alongside them. They invested in the family and encouraged them not to give up, helping them see the beauty in their daughter and their village.
An incredible change began to happen - the example of love shown by the Telunas Family began to impact neighbors and other women in the community, and they too began to offer encouragement and support. These stories of hope happen daily as a reaction of the Telunas Family's encouragement. This is the true heartbeat of the Telunas Family.
