Many of our team members are away this month, to enjoy some much deserved time off. We are halfway through the year 2023 and almost at the end of the year for Virteffic as we are celebrating the 3-year anniversary on 1 September 2023.
We are blessed and fortunate to have such a great team with camaraderie as well as extensive knowledge and expertise. There are many characteristics that can make a team successful, and for me the most important things I look for when recruiting are having positive morale, willingness to cooperate and help each other, and being able to prioritise goals. When building our team, we make sure we choose people who are flexible, highly organised workers who can work independently with the support of the team, and who thrive in a remote work setup. Having a culture of respect is also important so that people feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences.
I am truly grateful for the team’s individual efforts and dedication towards delivering excellent service to our clients.
I look forward to celebrating our success at our anniversary event on 1 September.
Many thanks
Tess
