"We are aspiring to build a culture of empowerment, where employees feel trusted, supported, and valued. We want to create a workplace where everyone feels like they can make a difference, and where their ideas are heard and appreciated. We also want to create a culture of diversity and inclusion, where everyone feels welcome and respected.

We believe that everyone has the potential to succeed, regardless of their background or experience. We have a clear and transparent career progression framework, and we offer a variety of training and development opportunities to help employees reach their goals. We also have a strong focus on performance management, so that employees are always aware of their progress and how they can improve.

We are proud to say that we have a number of success stories of employees who have started as trainees and have quickly progressed to management positions. We believe that this is a testament to our commitment to providing everyone with the opportunity to succeed.

We have a strong sense of community at Zync, and we genuinely care about each other's success. We celebrate our successes together, and we are always there to support each other through challenges.

We are not just a team of colleagues, we are a family. We genuinely enjoy each other's company, and we make an effort to get to know each other outside of work. We believe that this strong sense of camaraderie and community is one of the things that makes Zync a special place to work.

How would you describe the culture you're aspiring to build?

We aim to continue building a culture of growth and encourage an ambitious team who are not afraid to challenge themselves, push boundaries and be creative. Collaboration is a key factor in our teams’ success and this is fostered from senior leadership down. We encourage everyone to be ambitious, open-minded and accountable. Embrace and celebrate diversity, and treat everyone with respect.

When we look for people to join us we look beyond qualifications and experience, we look for personality traits and soft skills. This is how we can predict if someone would thrive in our team. Among these traits are humility, ambition, competitiveness, resilience, and accountability.

We want our team to feel confident in their abilities so they can own their own gig, challenge themselves and others, and focus on achieving their own goals. We want them to feel inquisitive, everyone, regardless of seniority, has the right to be heard and to learn from one another.

Group-wide collaboration sessions have also had a hugely positive impact on internal culture, these sessions provide an open forum setting where people can discuss any successes or challenges and learn from other people's experiences. Knowledge sharing on this level has given people a voice and platform and has built a strong team spirit across the business.

What makes Zync a special place to work?

We want each team member to feel passionate about their work, and to feel like they are making a difference. We want them to feel like they are part of a team, and that they are supported by their colleagues and managers. We also want them to feel like they are constantly learning and growing, and that they have the opportunity to take on new challenges.

We believe that the type of person who would thrive inside our company is someone who is passionate about their work, and who is looking for a challenge. We want someone who is creative, innovative, and who is not afraid to take risks. We also want someone who is a team player, and who is supportive of their colleagues.

Here are some additional qualities that we look for in our team members:

Fearless: The brave who aren’t scared to fail.
Go-getters: The bright sparks with something to prove.
Future leaders: The goal-hunters and the ones that truly care.

We believe that these qualities are essential for success in our company. If you have these qualities, we encourage you to apply for a job with us!

How do you embrace employee feedback?

At Zync, we believe that employee feedback is essential for creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. That's why we have a variety of channels for employees to give feedback and suggestions, including anonymous surveys, a suggestion box, and an open-door policy.

We also have a strong commitment to acting on feedback. When we receive feedback, we take the time to thank the employee for their input and let them know that we value their opinion. We then carefully consider the feedback and make changes as appropriate.

We believe that by incorporating employee feedback into our culture and policies, we can create a workplace that is more welcoming, inclusive, and supportive. We are committed to continuing to listen to our employees and to making changes that will improve their experience at Zync.

We are always looking for ways to improve our company culture and policies, and we are grateful for the feedback that our employees provide. We believe that by listening to our employees and acting on their feedback, we can create a workplace where everyone can thrive.

How do you see a vibrant company culture influencing Zync's overall success?

When employees are happy and engaged, they are more productive and creative. They are also more likely to stay with us, which reduces turnover costs. A strong company culture can also attract top talent, which can give the company a competitive advantage.

At Zync, we are committed to creating a workplace that is welcoming, inclusive, and supportive. We believe that a positive company culture is essential for employee satisfaction and productivity, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve our culture.

One of the ways we do this is by celebrating hard work and small wins. We run monthly and quarterly leagues with points based on activities, and we celebrate the league winners in monthly awards ceremonies. This ensures that everyone is acknowledged and celebrated, not just the top billers. We also have a players player award voted for by the team to celebrate a team player and a directors award chosen by the managing director to celebrate someone who has gone above and beyond.

We also operate quarterly holiday/team event incentives, where the team work together to hit a target and if they hit it they get to celebrate together. Recently, we've been to Portugal, Berlin, and Marbella! We also celebrate personal occasions, such as birthdays or buying a house etc., and we often go out as a team to bond and have a laugh outside of work.

We believe that these initiatives and strategies have helped to create a positive company culture at Zync. We are confident that these initiatives will continue to help us attract and retain top talent, and to create a workplace where everyone can thrive.

Is there a concept you are working on that could create meaningful change in your company's culture?

Absolutely! We're actively nurturing the concept of Empowerment Amplified. This idea involves creating a structured framework where employees are given greater autonomy, ownership, and resources to drive their ideas forward. By fostering a culture of empowerment, we aim to unlock untapped potential, encourage innovation at all levels, and establish a more inclusive and collaborative environment. This concept has the potential to reshape our company's culture and elevate the overall employee experience, propelling us towards a more dynamic and impactful future.

We believe that Empowerment Amplified is the key to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. When employees feel empowered, they are more likely to be engaged, productive, and innovative. They are also more likely to stay with the company for the long term.

We are excited to continue to develop the concept of Empowerment Amplified and to make Zync an even better place to work. We believe that this concept has the potential to revolutionise the way we work and to create a more equitable and prosperous future for everyone.
