1. Can you introduce the team members and tell us how long you have been working together? I According to Key account manager Tomasz, it feels like this team has been working together for ages. But the team has recently been “renewed” by new and experienced colleagues – Beata and Timo, that both started to work at CC about a year ago.
2. How does the Team start the working day? Tim: “We start every day with a short meeting and some chit-chat about both work and pleasure. A nice social way to start the day!”
Beata: “Because of different working day we don’t see each other every day but we always keep updated the team about business updates, tasks and then pleasure topics like Tim mentioned such as… issues with children, cats and dogs 😊 “
Tomasz: “Each working day I am starting with a SMILE because we have the morning meetings called “Day start PL,” I see my Team and we can chat a little bit on top of business duties – this is very inspiring and giving me extra “kick off” for the rest of my day!”
3. What makes your team special? Beata: “5 people = 3 nationalities = taking care of 9 countries [ALB, BiH, BU, CZ, HU, HR, LT, MKD, MNE, PL, RO, SI, SK, SR], isn’t it special?”
Edyta:” Even though me and Beata meet so rarely, I am positively surprised by how well we manage to communicate, using our systems and the help of our colleagues”
Timo: “A wide variety of different skill sets leading to a very strong team which is stronger than each individual”
4. Describe your team with 1 word in Polish, Dutch and German (and share the meaning please!)
