Ever noticed how we always celebrate the big wins in a company? Everyone talks about the major changes and big deals. But what about the small stuff? Think about that - 📌Colleague who tried out a new idea 📌 The one who took a little risk to help the team. These things might not make headlines, but they matter big time. They show dedication and a real commitment to making things better, step by step. We often forget to pat each other on the back for these everyday efforts. But you know what? It's time to change that. We gotta start appreciating these little wins. It’s not always about the grand results. It's about the - ✅ Putting in effort ✅ Experimenting ✅ Trying When we start valuing these small moves, it makes the big difference at work. It shows we care about the people here. It's not just about them understanding our goals, it's about us appreciating their hardwork and creativity. Let’s build a workplace where every little step forward is celebrated. P.S. Celebrate those small wins! Happy Weekend. 💙 #workplace #weekend

🎉 I’m celebrating 3 years in business this month! It's been quite the journey going from fully employed all my working life to being in charge of my own work! But I wouldn't change a thing! Each day brings new challenges and opportunities, and I love the variety that comes with working with different people and businesses. And I’m truly grateful for those that have put their trust in me to let me into their business so that I can help them grow. 👀 Being self-employed has been an eye-opener for me. It's put an end to the idea of a linear career path that I grew up with, opening my eyes to the endless possibilities within the world of business. Plus, it has reinvigorated a sense of creativity and a drive to continually develop my skills. I'll never forget the moment when a former manager commented on one of my posts, noting the transformation from the quiet, shy individual they once knew. It's moments like these that remind me of how much I've grown, both personally and professionally. One of the biggest lessons I've learned about myself is the importance of clarity. I thrive on specifics and struggle with ambiguity, so I've become adept at asking the right questions to avoid misunderstandings. And as for self-promotion? Well, I’ve never been good at this and I'm still learning to blow my own trumpet, but it's a necessary skill in the business world. Time to be my own cheerleader! 🏆 And hey, guess what? I recently won an award! Stay tuned because there's more excitement to come. Perhaps the most rewarding part of this journey has been the balance it's brought to my life. More quality time with my family, less rushing around, and a noticeable improvement in my overall health and well-being. 🙌 So here's to 3 years of growth, learning, and discovery. I love what I do, and I'm feeling incredibly positive about what the fourth year of business has in store! #virtualassistantbirmingham #virtualassistantservices #techassistance #businessbirthday #businesscelebration

I received STAR OF THE MONTH at work this week 🌟 Here's a glimpse of me accepting my award 💁♀️ And it got me reflecting on how the little things matter, especially in a startup environment. At Up World, we might not have the typical "startup perks" like ping pong tables, monthly boozy socials or fancy office spaces 🤷🏻♀️ But what we do have is an open, honest and supportive environment that means we can get the work done (and there’s a lot to be done!) in whatever way suits us best. Instead of all of the normal ‘cool startup environment’ vibes 💩 we do have: 👉A Slack channel dedicated to shouting out all the small wins, from a community member sending us nice feedback to Han buying her first home (which isn’t a small win at all!) 👉Monthly ‘Star Of The Month’ awards, so we can highlight the hard work everyones putting in 👏 (this comes with a nice lil bonus too) 👉An environment where feedback is valued, and continuous improvement is encouraged 📈 👉Flexibility to get the work done however we want 👩🏻💻 Coffee shop? Paris? Evening owl? We don’t mind, as long as the work gets done and you’re supporting the team. While these things may not mean much to some, a little recognition and the trust to work flexibly, mean the world to me 🌏 And knowing that the entire company voted for me this month has honestly made my week (but maybe there’s something to be said about always needing validation which stems from school, but that’s for another day! 😅) Here's to a culture that celebrates success, embraces feedback, and thrives on support! 🚀

🙌 Gratitude Overflowing 🙌 Last week was one for the books. A rollercoaster of emotions, challenges, and unexpected turns. But amidst it all, there was a shining beacon of support, dedication, and teamwork that I simply can't overlook. As many of you know, running a recruitment business comes with its own set of hurdles. And when life throws you a curveball, it's easy to feel like you're juggling more than you can handle. Last week, I found myself in precisely that situation. My 1-year-old toddler was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital, and on top of that, we were in the middle of a house move. 😰 In those moments, the instinct to control everything can be overwhelming. But here's where the magic truly unfolded. I had no choice but to let go, to trust in the incredible team that stands behind this business. And let me tell you, they didn't just step up—they soared. 🚀 To the amazing individuals who make up our team, I want to express my deepest appreciation. Your resilience, your dedication, and your unwavering support during such a challenging time were nothing short of extraordinary. From going above and beyond in managing client relations to ensuring our candidates were guided through the process seamlessly, you showed up in ways I couldn't have imagined. Together, we accomplished something remarkable. Despite the personal challenges I was facing, we managed to place 23 new workers into roles during that time. That's not just a testament to our efficiency as a business, but to the strength of our team bond and our collective commitment to excellence. 💼💪 Jak Mallord Niall Newsham Caitlin Ahern, Thank you for being the backbone of this company, for embodying the true spirit of teamwork, and for reminding me that even in the toughest of times, we can achieve incredible things when we support each other. Let's continue to grow, thrive, and make a difference together. 🌟 #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork #Gratitude #Appreciation
