Here at DotActiv, we believe your job shouldn’t just be a source of income. It should also be a source of happiness. Being happy at work and loving what you do is an overall productivity booster and enhances your work performance. It’s not just us saying that. Research completed by Oxford University’s Saïd Business School and British multinational telecoms firm BT confirms it.
Let’s be honest: creating leaders within any business can be tricky to achieve. It becomes even more challenging without the necessary tools and guidance. But you might have wondered this: Are successful leaders born? Or can they be made? It depends on who you speak to, but we believe the answer to both questions is yes!
DotActiv has had the fortune of experiencing rapid growth over the past year or so. This extraordinary journey is due to the hard work and dedication of the people who make up the DotActiv family – our people. This growth is essential for any company that wants to see people grow. Without company growth, individual growth opportunities are limited.
If you’re deciding whether or not to take up a new hobby or reignite an old one, we’d strongly recommend it. Why? Hobbies make you a better person. That’s not only us talking, but one of the findings from a study conducted by the Society of Behavioural Medicine and quoted by The Harvard Business Review.
You could argue that a company’s success comes down to what it offers to the market. If a company can provide a product or service that is high in demand, it has the makings of success. Of course, that’s only one part of it. Because as much as you might have a working and in-demand product to sell – you also need staff to help you sell it.
Working from home has become the new normal. That’s due, in part, to COVID-19. It has upended how we work. Companies that hadn’t considered remote work seriously had to change their opinions. While some struggled – many having to face closure – others thrived. However, this new normal has also brought new distractions that we wouldn’t have considered without first working from home permanently.
DotActiv is growing. We have been growing for the past five years, and we’re anticipating extended growth over the next few years too. That puts us in a good space. To keep up with that growth and allow us to expand our various accounts, we need to match it with our recruiting efforts*.
It is a fact: if you want to be competitive in today’s retail industry, you can’t do it alone. No, we’re not talking about that constant need to rely on your data or your suppliers. Both are a given. Instead, we’re talking about the need to invest in specialist software. And with that investment comes the need for expert technical support.
“Pulling into the isolation station”. There is a new reality for employees working in today’s post-Pandemic world. Many companies have shifted to remote working environments or a hybrid version. That includes DotActiv. And, while some enjoy it, many others grapple with the consequences of being isolated from a “normal” working environment.
Over the 20+ years that DotActiv has been a provider of category management software and services, we have built a culture that we are proud of. As part of this culture, we installed a set of values to help us further establish our business. Of course, we are aware that values do not equal culture. However, they do form part of our foundation.
