Read in our msgNews what challenges the summer of 2021 has brought us and what changes have taken place at msg life Slovakia. Summer is usually a busy time for us, but this summer was different. Due to the pandemic, we still continued to work from home and only met occasionally. Many things have changed in that time, we have renovated the company premises and changed the way we do interviews. For more than a year, we were more or less only in virtual contact with our colleagues, so it was time to get together again and boost our team spirit. We organised joint themed lunches and various team events. Read what has changed for us and what challenges the summer of 2021 has brought us.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that we were in a more favourable pandemic situation during the hot summer months, we decided to continue working from home<\/strong>. “Our staff have had the opportunity to continue to work in a Home Office format. Although the situation has improved somewhat, we didn’t want to underestimate anything and put our colleagues at risk. In addition, it turned out that we can work effectively as a team also remotely,” says Dominika, HR Recruiter. This was one of the reasons why the company decided to rethink the way they work. At the beginning of September, msg life Slovakia introduced a more flexible work schedule<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hybrid and Full Remote mode<\/h2>\n

We currently have Home Office<\/strong> in place in our company, reducing the risk of virus transmission. However, the office premises remain open to all, and employees can visit our offices at any time if they need to. Our company has also introduced Full Remote mode<\/strong> for some positions, which is designed especially for employees travelling to work from a longer distance.<\/p>\n

Renovation of the premises in Bratislava<\/h2>\n

Working from home also brought a small positive – we started renovating the premises of the Bratislava office<\/strong>. “In the building on Hrani\u010dn\u00e1 Street, we have been renovating the company premises for the last few months – we have renewed the corridors on all five floors, modernised the toilets and showers, and we are also planning to renew the office furniture so that employees feel more comfortable when they return to the office,”<\/em> says Zuzka, Office Manager.<\/p>\n

New Full Remote jobs and benefits<\/h2>\n

msg life Slovakia is constantly growing, we currently have more than twenty open job positions<\/a><\/u><\/strong>. A new feature is the possibility to work in Full Remote mode<\/strong>. These are mainly positions in the field of Java development or insurance. Interviews continue to take place online, just apply via a short form. Although the new employees will work mainly from home, they will not be deprived of the rich benefits program<\/a><\/u><\/strong>. “The company gym, massage, language courses and relaxation zone are still available to all those who are interested,”<\/em> adds Zuzka.<\/p>\n

Team events and joint themed lunches<\/h2>\n

During the summer months we held a series of company events and met with colleagues who work in Hybrid mode. “Our colleagues had the opportunity to attend various events such as Health Week<\/a><\/u><\/strong>. Especially for our female colleagues, we organized a Ladies Week, during which they could try yoga, meditation, painting or massage classes,” <\/em> says Zuzka. Our adrenaline was raised by white water rafting, wakeboarding and action shootouts during laser tag.<\/p>\n

There was a lot of interest in the joint events from employees and many of them had positive feedback, so we decided to organize some events during the autumn as well. “The adrenaline lovers also had their chance in October, when we took part in go-kart and laser tag races. Colleagues who currently work mainly independently suddenly had to work together as a team, and this made their relationships even stronger,” <\/em> Zuzka adds.<\/p>\n

We organized themed group lunches in our relaxation area<\/a><\/strong> to rebuild workplace relationships and prepare colleagues for a partial return to the office. We enjoyed an American lunch full of burgers, an Asian lunch with mountains of sushi, and an Italian lunch where we had fantastic pizza. To make the shared lunches even more interesting, we also introduced vegan dishes, giving colleagues the chance to try a healthier alternative to some of their favorite meals. Paradoxically, the real star of the event turned out to be the vegan donuts.<\/p>\n

In autumn, after a longer time, we met again<\/strong> and during the festive season we enjoyed fresh and crispy roast goose, of course in OTP mode. At many of our events, our youngest participants were also present, which made us very happy.<\/p>\n

New job opportunities for you too<\/h2>\n

In addition to interesting corporate events, we have also added new attractive job offers<\/a>.<\/u><\/strong> For example, you can get a job in testing or software development, in mathematics or software migration and project management.
