𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧: 𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐱 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤! Since the founding of Apolix, we've always aimed to be the employer of the future. Our vision included providing benefits beyond the norm, such as unlimited vacation days, access to mental health support, and ensuring every employee has a fully operational laptop from day one.     Although these initiatives were part of our core philosophy, they had not been formally evaluated until recently. Last month, Apolix participated in the organisation-wide Great Place To Work® Nederland survey for the first time.    We are extremely excited to announce that we score a whopping 93% satisfaction across the board and are now Great Place to Work Certified! For reference, the average for comparative companies in the Netherlands is 58%.     From the survey results, we are proud to reveal Apolix scored:  🤝 94% in camaraderie: Apolians feel connected and a part of the team. 💡 90% in innovation: we're not afraid to try new things. ✊ 91% in working with integrity: we are uncompromising in our values.   Of course, no company is perfect and while we are immensely proud of these results, Apolix always strives to be better. One area for improvement is our score of 71% in work pressure. As an outcome, we have created an internal team (the Apolix Space Agency) to represent our colleagues. We are excited to use their feedback to create action plans and continue working on the areas for improvement.    A huge thank you to our loyal and dedicated Apolians who make it possible for us to have a work environment where trust, collaboration, and fun are the key to Apolix’s great culture.     If you’re looking to join a team who look after each other and take pride in their work, check out our openings, here: https://lnkd.in/etBCpqSS #culture #greatplacetowork #hiring #data #processmining  

🚀 Exciting News Alert! 🚀 Not everyone immediately thinks of Rostock when it comes to cutting-edge technology, biotechnology, and life sciences, but we do! That's why we're heading there, and we want you to join us. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (or "Meck Pom" for the true insiders) might not be on everyone's radar for these fields, but with initiatives like BioCon Valley GmbH and support from organizations like Rostock Business, we've seen proof of concept. We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with passionate individuals like Sven Rüger, Michael Lüdtke, and Lukas Buschhusen to discuss the boundless opportunities awaiting us in Greater Rostock. That's why we're proud to announce that we're relocating our company headquarters to his beautiful city. But we're not just moving offices; we want to become a Rostock company at the forefront of empowering the finances of tech, biotech, and life sciences. Ready to innovate, transform and evolve? Let's connect and explore the endless possibilities together! #Rostock #Innovation #Tech #BioTech #LifeSciences

Thank you so much Sir Shaad Rahman Khan for your kind words and appreciation. It really means a lot to me, and it will motivate me to achieve even higher levels of excellence in my present and future roles. I will be forever grateful to you for letting me be a part of Phixman's team and for the opportunity to work with a great leader like you. I have learnt so much under your excellent guidance and supreme mentorship. Thank you once again for your continued support during and after my tenure with Phixman. You are the best boss that I ever have. You are the person who not only believed in my ability but, in fact, gave me the opportunity to restart my career after 2 years of maternity gap and helped me explore my true potential. "Break down the Barrier of Gap Period in Careers." After spending a decade handling the HR gamut, I believe that talent comes in various forms and experience often wears a diverse face. Yet a challenge still persists within the Corporate Industry - the hesitance to provide opportunities to individuals with gaps in their careers. It's time we reevaluate this perspective and consider the true potential. In conclusion, - The organizations need to embrace the shift in perception regarding the candidate with a gap in career. Let's consider each candidate holistically, focusing on their potential, skill sets, enthusiasm to contribute, and willingness to learn, rather than only focusing on their work history. #phixman #bestboss #hrcommunity #corporateculture #careergrowth #careergaps #greatleader #humanresource Phixman

Call me anything but ordinary. Below is a snapshot of our Foster team chat this morning. I'm Gizmo. A challenge of having an entrepreneurial mindset is the ever enticing list of sparkling things that catch my attention, and appear a lot more fun than the thing I should be doing! The Team at Foster are well versed in following my disparate streams of conversation, ideas and excitement. It's what makes me, me. Each of our team is different and I believe that our diversity should be celebrated, not cautioned or capped. It's what makes us a great team. I do think, however, that it is important to recognise our behaviours. Be honest about them. Help us to understand each other, and to get the best out of each of us. So today, I'm letting the team know I'm Gizmo. I'm not to be entertained. I'm in a trouble making, fun, fun, fun mood when I should be in a head down, commercial, growth kinda mood. How do you communicate as a team? Are you able to be yourself? I do hope so 😊 Now, anyone got snacks or water? 😉 #beyou #mindset #communication #team #diversity

Recognizing the critical challenge of economic mobility across our region, we developed the Whole Person Pilot Program in partnership with the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors and several other local community-based partner organizations. This initiative is one of the first pilot projects from the NOVAworks Launch Lab, which aims to develop holistic solutions to support our community members in their journey toward sustainable careers. What is the Whole Person Pilot Program? ⭐ Holistic Support: This initiative goes beyond traditional workforce support by addressing comprehensive needs such as housing, food, and transportation, in addition to job search and skills training. 🚀 Community Impact: With an investment of $250,000 from the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, we supported 26 participants, providing intensive job search and essential supportive services to ease financial burdens. ✅ Success Stories: The program has already seen remarkable outcomes, with participants securing employment, engaging in training programs, and receiving the necessary support to transition into sustainable careers, breaking down barriers traditional resources couldn’t pay for. Key Achievements to date: ✔ Enrollment: 26 participants from northern Santa Clara County ✔ Employment: 9 participants have already secured high-quality employment, while 17 more are actively engaged in industry-led training. ✔ Supportive Services: 23 participants received crucial assistance, including rent payments, food, and transportation, enabling them to focus on their career goals rather than worry about how they would participate. The Whole Person Pilot Program is a testament to our commitment at the NOVAWorks Launch Lab to exploring, testing, and investing in innovative workforce development strategies. As we move forward, we will expand, evaluate, and share the lessons we learn from this pilot to drive systemic change and ensure that no one in our region is left behind. Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to get involved! #NOVAworksLaunchLab #NOVAWorks #LaunchLab #WorkforceDevelopment #EconomicMobility #CommunityImpact Marlena Sessions Christopher Bernhardt Kevin Perkey NOVAworks
