Hey there! It’s Larissa, and I’m thrilled to be part of the Ship It Days Committee this year!
Unveiling the heart of Vio.com
As someone who has worked for several years in different companies, I understand the importance of finding a workplace where you truly belong.
A harmonious blend of support, inclusivity, and personal growth
As someone who has worked for several years in different companies, I understand the importance of finding a workplace where you truly belong. When I made the decision to move to the Netherlands and work here, I wondered if I could find a workplace in Vio.com that would offer the same sense of acceptance and inclusivity as the one I had been a part of before.
It didn’t take long for me to discover the answer to this question. From the very first day I joined, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere in the office. Everyone was ready to lend a hand and create a positive vibe.
Investing in Employee Development
Over time, I realised that this company truly values its employees and fosters personal improvement. During my interview, I asked my manager about the company’s plans for employee development, and I was surprised by the growth model plan that the company has . As time went by, I discovered that the path to advancement was wide open for everyone, and the level of support I received far exceeded my expectations. This motivated me to create a roadmap for reaching new heights in my career.
Valuing Employee Voices and Ideas
Another thing that sets Vio.com apart from other companies is its unwavering commitment to listen to its employees. They firmly believe that every person has something valuable to contribute, and they are always open to hearing new ideas and perspectives. It’s refreshing to see how they actively seek out our thoughts on specific matters or even general improvements they can make.
Embracing Remote Work
Here, there are no limits placed on employees’ potential, and the company does not judge based on employees’ location but rather values the contributions individuals bring to the company.
Vio.com understands that people can achieve remarkable things when they are given freedom and support. While many companies explored remote work options during the pandemic, Vio.com has always believed in trusting its employees to work from anywhere. Based on my experience, if someone’s Slack status is online, you can be sure they are diligently working at their desk.
Caring for Employee Well-being and Building Strong Relationships
This is a place that genuinely cares about the well-being of its employees. They know that life can present challenges, and they are always there to provide support. Whether you are facing a personal issue or simply feeling under the weather, they are ready to assist. The company firmly believes that a happy and healthy employee is a productive one, and they go above and beyond to ensure team members feel valued and supported. From my point of view, we are not just colleagues; we are friends. The company strives to create a supportive and inclusive workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
They recognise that when employees feel like they are part of a team, they become more proactive and motivated. That’s why they always encourage us to build strong relationships with one another and constantly seek ways to bring the team closer together. From organising cultural parties celebrating different nationalities to acknowledging significant personal events, our company understands that being away from everything familiar can be challenging. Instead of leaving us alone to dwell on our sadness, they create opportunities for us to share our cultures with one another and have a great.
Proud to Belong
In conclusion, I firmly believe that Vio.com has successfully created a remarkable culture and a supportive, inclusive workplace where everyone feels they truly belong. I am proud to be a part of this company and incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a member of this incredible family.
