It was with the greatest pleasure and pride that Advancetrack was able to take 25 of its staff away on holiday; a fantastic trip to Singapore and Malaysia.
These long-serving team members had served more than five years with us, and only five had ever stepped outside of India before. They followed the 37 who came away to Dubai last year (a trip that had been delayed for a long time because of the pandemic).
The latest journey took the team from the Marina Bay Sands Tower, Singapore’s ‘Little India’, to the Petronas Towers in Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur and beyond.
There is a simple question I’ve been asked a few times about the two trips: why do it? The answer is also simple: our slogan is that ‘accountants can change lives in the work they do’, and therefore we should change lives here too.
It’s also a terrific morale booster. The people travelling are clearly excited, but so are their colleagues too – particularly if their tenure is nearing five years!
And, on that point, we will look at other ways of rewarding our team. There are ‘employee of the month’ and ‘of the year’ awards and prizes, but as Advancetrack develops so do our people. Their working lives are evolving with the changing needs of our accountancy practice partners, and so how we recognise our people will continue to change too.
You can find out more about the latest trip on my LinkedIn posts here, here and also here.
