43 years he had been working for Divi Resorts and the last seven he was the General Manager of Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort. Gerrit Griffith left a footprint at the Divi and last Wednesday was his goodbye reception. With a full house of Divi associates it was evident that Mr. Griffith is in the heart of the Divi employees.
Managing director Alex Niemeyer thanked Griffith for his years of dedication and service to the Divi family followed by a video showing messages from the colleagues expressing their love for the newly retired GM. Griffith said that all employees matter within the Divi family and that you only need to grasp that one chance to make your way up. “So give your best every day and you can make it ending up as a manager or even General Manager.” He will miss the personal connection with his employees, but it is time for him to retire and be with his family. Pearl Lake will be his successor after holding the position of Rooms Manager for the past four years.
