What makes me satisfied in my work

First months after I joined RPIC-ViP I felt that I was rather visiting a spa, not a workplace, despite the culture of high productivity! The company culture was so inspiring and motivating, that we were achieving difficult goals without even realising that we work so hard. I have read lot of professional literature and went through thousands hours of interactive trainings, workshops and coaching since then. Now I am happy I can pass the experience to other companies.

What I am proud of

We have delivered more than one hundred of POWERFUL WORKPLACE Assessments in cooperation with our partners (TREXIMA). I myself was managing about 30 of the projects alone. I am very happy that those 15 easy question can start very deep discussion and change in teams and organisations. Furthermore, all those positive changes are measurable, not only with our survey, but also with hard index of effectiveness, productivity or financial results.
