Employee Engagement Survey

We are excited to announce that the Employee Engagement Survey is now live! Leaza has carefully considering all feedback to make the necessary changes and improvements within the group, so your input is genuinely valued.

We understand that many of you may feel like nothing will come from these surveys, but we want to assure you that this is your opportunity to be heard. We are truly passionate about making a difference, and we will personally ensure that the responses are followed up. Your honest feedback will help us make real, meaningful changes, but we need your input to do so.

The survey is 1000% anonymous, so please don’t hesitate to be open. Without your candid feedback, we won’t be able to provide the support needed to ensure everyone is happy and content in their roles.

The survey will remain open until 31st October, so please take the time to share your thoughts. As a bonus, at the end of the survey, you’ll find a QR code that takes you to an external website where you can enter the draw to win a $500 Speakeasy Group gift card, with one gift card up for grabs in each state. Please note that the staff discount will not apply when using the gift card.

This is your chance to shape our workplace for the better, so I encourage everyone to take part!

Introducing Physical Vouchers & Staff Incentive for End of Year Period

The Speakeasy Group is rolling out physical vouchers for sale in all venue for the end of year period. These vouchers, can be purchased in venue through the same Giver app we use for digital vouchers and can be processed in service by hosts or MODS for guests. 

Voucher kits have arrived at venue with vouchers, envelopes and stands. Please note nothing is processed through the POS and all done on the iPads, same as voucher redemption. 

A full training on this is available here, and will soon be available on ANANAS.

We will also be running a staff incentive for In Venue Gift Voucher Sales over November and December. Here are the details:

Venue that sells the most Gift Vouchers by $ value will win $1,000 towards a staff outing. 

Individual staff member that sells the most vouchers by $ value will receive 25% of the value of what they have sold. That’s right. If the winning staff member sells $10,000 worth of vouchers, they will receive $2,500 (paid as a bonus through payroll). 

*at a minimum the winning venue must sell in excess of $5,000 worth of Gift Vouchers to be eligible for prize.

When selling the Gift Voucher in venue you will need to track who has made the sale by adding a private note to the voucher (see screenshot). Ensure you:

  • Add the venue name and “sold in venue”
  • Add staff members name

Spread the word to all the team and let the games commence!!!

Legends of the Speakeasy Group: Ilsa Harun

We sat down with Ilsa Harun, Brand Development Manager to discuss hospitality and her role at The Speakeasy Group.

Hospitality Journey: What do you love about the industry?

I absolutely love how it’s all about the experience! The hospitality industry is all about bringing people together to have a good time with great food and drinks and I love that I get to be a part of that creating that experience for others.  

Walk us through your day in a life as a Brand Development Manager at Speakeasy Group.

No two days are ever the same! The best ones are definitely when I’m in a venue surrounded by camera equipment, and tasting the latest food and cocktails that are about to get added to the menu. But most days I’m in the office working editing the content we’ve created, writing social media content and email newsletters, creating digital artworks for upcoming campaigns, updating our websites or deep-diving into the analytics of our marketing systems. 

What do you love about your role and working at the Speakeasy Group?

I love how it challenges both my creative and analytical sides to my brain! We’re always looking to make content for our followers that is fun, exciting and true to our incredible brands, but will also convert them into customers, and enjoying the real-life experiences we share online. 

What is your favourite Speakeasy Group drink? From what venue and why?

It’s a toss up between the Sea & Shell Martini at Pearl Diver and the Smokey Rob Roy at Eau-de-Vie. I was never much of a martini or whisky drinker before working at the Speakeasy Group, but both of these drinks have certainly changed my mind! 

Where would we find you on a day off?

If I’m not at home binging the latest movie or TV show, probably at a restaurant or bar in Melbourne! I absolutely love eating out, and can totally justify it being “market research”.
