Lisa Ling - Service Attendant

After her children had flown the nest, then hotel worker Lisa Ling decided it was time to do something for herself. Having heard of the flexibility and variety FIFO had to offer, Lisa decided to give it a red-hot crack.

Making it clear it’s never too late to try something new, Lisa has just celebrated her 10-year anniversary with Sodexo.

“I’m very proud of my achievements and am very grateful to have grown alongside Sodexo.”

As a Service Attendant, Lisa takes pride in being able to interact with all different trades and service areas on-site. To her peers, this pride is seen in her passion and persistence to ensure everyone feels seen, especially in the recent pandemic. 

“I just want to be part of it and be proactive to keep everyone’s morale high,” Lisa said. 

Lisa’s impact has been recognized throughout the business. 

“Lisa shows the same great enthusiasm in her role as when she was first promoted into the role in the kitchen and dining room. Her infectious attitude, problem solving skills, and resilience makes her a great role model for our new starters,” Luke Kohn, Lisa’s Village Manager, said. 

Luke has also shared that her positive outlook on life has been known to turn people’s bad day around. 

This can be attributed to Lisa’s mantra: ‘Love the life you live. Live the life you love’.

For Lisa, her love of life comes from service to others. When she is not gardening at home or volunteering at her local football club, she is known to regularly visit Aged Care facilities where she will read to and play games with the residents to remind them that people still care about them. 

“Mental health is important to me,” Lisa said, “Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel supported and heard.”
