Irina Tomečková
I’m not really aware of many companies where there is such an approach to employees as we have.
Every job position at VERMONT is unique, and Irina Tomečková, who has been with the company for several years, is well aware of that. What was her career progression like, how would she describe her typical workday, and what does she value most? She told us that and much more in a pleasant interview...
WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO VERMONT?
When looking for a job, I cared about the environment in which I would be spending my time. Additionally, of course, I cared about the people around me. And at VERMONT, it was simply the most pleasant interview and premises with a friendly atmosphere among people.
WHAT POSITIONS HAVE YOU HELD WITHIN THE COMPANY?
I started as an Office Assistant.
WHAT POSITION ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING IN?
I have moved from being an assistant to my current position as Office Manager.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR TYPICAL WORKDAY?
Every day is different. On Monday mornings, we always have a meeting to kick off the whole week, and then the workload varies depending on the current situation. It's a mix of office duties and coordinating various kinds of projects.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?
The diversity and unexpected challenges. I deal with an interesting agenda and learn a lot of new things, both professionally and personally.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN YOUR COLLEAGUES/TEAM?
They are people in their element, who do their work with passion and to the best of their abilities.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU AT WORK?
The work itself, the people I work with, and our corporate environment.
WHAT MAKES WORKING AT VERMONT UNIQUE FOR YOU?
I don't know many companies where there is such an approach to employees as we have. We have unique leadership, and I appreciate being able to plan and do my work as I see fit.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST AT VERMONT?
The approach to people, the opportunity to work independently, and the honesty in every action of the company.
HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR WORK/LIFE BALANCE? WHAT HELPS YOU TO RELAX AND REGAIN BALANCE AFTER A DEMANDING DAY AT WORK?
I think I've got it quite figured out already. I've told myself to not read work emails outside the office, or at least I don't do it as often as I used to. It's not always possible, of course, but outside the office, I simply try not to think about work. Instead, I focus on reading books, watching movies, spending time with my 6-year-old son, embroidery, and enjoying good food.Top of Form
