As the world continues to acclimate to a globally distributed workforce, employee engagement is still a challenge for many organizations. According to Gallup’s State of the Workplace 2022 Report, only 21% of employees are truly engaged at work. An important way for employees to feel engaged is by understanding their companies’ core values and how they align with their professional ambitions.
Yet, only a quarter of organizations believe that more than half their workforce actually knows their companies’ core values. At AvePoint, our core values – Agility, Passion, and Teamwork – are the threads that connect each of our colleagues around the world to help us work together and advance our mission of enabling organizations to collaborate with confidence.
The Meaning Behind Agility, Passion & Teamwork at AvePoint
The first step is to be clear and regularly remind our colleagues what we mean by agility, passion, and teamwork.
- Agility: We value quick, informed decision-making to meet and exceed customer expectations. We subscribe to a growth mindset, which contributes to our entrepreneurial and learning spirit.
- Passion: Drive and energy are contagious here; we are not just going through the motions. We do things that are impactful and, as a result, amplify our customers’ success.
- Teamwork: We are invested in the success of our colleagues, partners, customers, and community. We do this by promoting global collaboration and taking pride in helping, sharing, mentoring, and coaching each other.
At AvePoint, it’s important to constantly remind and reward our colleagues when they exemplify our core values in the course of their work. Our peer recognition program allows our colleagues to nominate one another for putting our core values into practice. At the end of every quarter, we review all submissions and select one colleague as the winner for each value. We then share their story publicly during our global town hall.
Let’s see how our latest Peer Recognition winners brought our core values to life:
Agility
Roberto Delgado, Switzerland |
Roberto was engaged with a prospective customer evaluating Cloud Backup. During the discussion, Roberto realized the prospect needed a more comprehensive storage optimization approach for their digital collaboration.
Roberto quickly pivoted and educated the prospect on best practices for proper storage optimization of their environment and how AvePoint could help. As a result, the customer not only purchased Cloud Backup but also Cloud Archiving. It’s an example of how Roberto is nimble in finding the best solution for customers and prospects, no matter the scenario. |
