In this edition of Tess Thoughts, as we navigate through March 2024 and celebrate International Women’s Day, I find it both relevant and essential to reflect on how Virteffic’s flexible working model has become a cornerstone of empowerment for professional women. Our narrative is not just about business; it’s about creating an environment where women can thrive professionally without sacrificing their personal commitments. At Virteffic, we believe in the power of flexibility to transform lives and careers, making it a core aspect of our personal brand story.
Our model recognises that the traditional 9-to-5 doesn’t accommodate everyone, especially women juggling diverse roles in their personal and professional lives. Designed to meet varied needs, our flexibility offers autonomy in scheduling, significantly enhancing job satisfaction, work-life balance, and promoting professional growth.
A prime example of this model at work is Sarah’s story. Through Virteffic’s flexible working policy, she crafted a schedule that enabled her to excel professionally while being present for her family’s significant moments.
Sarah’s story is a testament to how our model supports women through various life stages, empowering them to achieve their career aspirations without compromising on family time.
Similarly, Emma has utilised the flexible working model to travel and pursue further yoga studies in India, showcasing the model’s role in encouraging continuous learning and growth, and the ability to work where you want.
Siobhan’s story further highlights our model’s value. Embracing flexibility allowed her to find a perfect balance between her career and personal interests.
As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we recognise our progress toward more inclusive, flexible workplaces but also acknowledge the road ahead. Virteffic’s commitment to leading by example remains steadfast, as we continually seek innovative ways to uplift and empower women in their careers.
Our flexible working model reflects our belief in every individual’s potential. By providing the tools and flexibility to balance personal commitments with professional aspirations, we’re not just enhancing our team members’ lives; we’re contributing to a cultural shift toward more inclusive, empowering work environments.
Moving forward, we remain committed to advocating for professional women, ensuring flexibility, empowerment, and opportunity become realities for all.
The stories of Sarah, Emma, and Siobhan are just the beginning. At Virteffic, we envision a future where every woman is supported to achieve her career aspirations on her terms. Together, let’s continue breaking barriers and reshaping the workplace for the better.
I am Tess Price
As the heart and soul behind Virteffic Limited, I’ve carved a niche in the Channel Islands’ business landscape and reshaped the traditional work environment.
With a rich background as a Chartered Secretary and an Associate of ICSA, alongside bachelor’s degrees in Economics and Financial Administration, I bring deep expertise in corporate governance and secretarial support from my time at institutions like HSBC Private Bank and RBC Wealth Management, as well as leadership roles at Intertrust (former Ogier and Elian) and Maples Group.
My journey and the evolution of Virteffic are testaments to the possibilities that unfold when professional aspirations align with personal well-being.
The Story behind Virteffic
Virteffic Limited, launched in 2020, represents my vision for a flexible work-life model, offering custom solutions that enhance job satisfaction and personal growth. We pride ourselves on offering tailored secretarial and governance support that not only meets the highest standards of professionalism but also fosters a culture of growth and independence. Since our inception, we’ve made significant strides in promoting work-life balance, attracting top-tier talent, and enhancing our clients’ operational efficiency through innovative solutions.
In the Channel Islands, where recruitment challenges and soaring childcare costs present barriers to workforce engagement, Virteffic emerges as a harbinger of transformation. Our mission is clear: to redefine conventional norms by placing our employees’ well-being at the forefront. We provide flexible opportunities that transcend the limitations of traditional work hours, nurturing independence and adaptability. This strategy has enticed seasoned professionals with regulatory expertise, enriching our team with invaluable experience from the Channel Islands’ finance sector. The outcome? A working model that not only fosters a positive and flexible atmosphere but also delivers superior results for both our team and clients. At Virteffic, we firmly believe that embracing diverse workstyles cultivates heightened morale, fosters enhanced collaboration, and ultimately drives greater success.
