High standards are synonymous with the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, and those standards are especially important when it comes to guest and staff safety. Not surprisingly, the high-traction safety footwear from Shoes For Crews is the number-one pick of the resort’s director of security and safety, Michael Lacouture. His initial choice was made in 2004 after a simple yet crucial comparison in one of the hotel kitchens. “My regular shoes slipped easily. The Shoes For Crews pair just stuck. It was impressive,” says Lacouture.
Many others agree. Today the company says its footwear protects more than 100,000 workplaces across the globe.
From the outset, Lacouture appreciated the convenience of the vendor’s payroll deduction plan, which allows staff to spread out the payment for their own shoe purchases while giving the resort the opportunity to provide an employee incentive for choosing Shoes For Crews.
“I think the product speaks for itself. It works really well,” Lacouture says. “I get orders from men and women in all departments,” he explains, “from room service to laundry to supervisors and managers.” Needless to say, Lacouture himself sports a pair, his choice from over 60 available styles.–JT
