Printec, a company with a 30+ years success, is today the leader in business-to-customer transaction technologies in 16 countries in Central and Eastern Europe. From an employer point of view, the work is quite challenging: Printec employs 900 people across different cultures, different generations, different skillsets, different functions (from finance and HR to field engineers and developers). A diversity and knowhow that drives its success….

‘Our people are always very high in my personal agenda, but they take also integral part in Printec’s corporate strategy’ says Ms Mavrommati, Group CEO of Printec ‘One of our key priorities for the coming years is about empowering and developing our people in an environment that helps them perform at their best. This is no easy task, but we have a number of strategies and initiatives to support it:’

Learnability
In today’s workplace it is obvious that whatever skills one has will never be enough in the long term. Upskilling and reskilling are key for our people’s development, and this is something that we encourage through our training initiatives and through lifelong learning. One example of a learning initiative that I am particularly proud of is LinkedIn Learning. We have provided about 1/3 of our people with licenses to LinkedIn Learning, allowing them to follow pre-planned learning paths relevant to their work or to corporate priorities, but also choose from a breadth of courses (16,000+) from any field they find interesting or useful for their own, personal development.
Employee experience
A few years ago many businesses were becoming obsessed with customer experience, and rightly so. But since then, we have come to understand that employee experience is as important (if not more). We have been quite active in this area with wellness activities, fun initiatives in the workplace and mental support for employees, but we are planning for even more to come. What I believe will be the most impactful initiative however, is our soon-to-be-announced FlexWork. This is a framework for flexibility where our people will choose where to work from and when, and it is designed in such a way so as to accommodate not just the needs of certain positions but also of each individual.
Recognition
Effort, skill and performance should be recognized on an individual or team level, and our People Awards have been designed to do this based on our shared values. Earlier this year we redefined our shared purpose and values, and we are working towards building a strong culture around them. Part of this effort is the recognition about the decisions people have taken, behaviours that they have been demonstrating in alignment with our shared values. We believe that People learn better by acting than by getting instructions – often generic or abstract, and ready to celebrate their efforts, successes and …failures!This gives our digital company the human touch…!
