STRATEGIES FOR A MOTIVATING WORKPLACE
Right from onboarding, Susana Pires, Head of People and Culture at Crossjoin, states that integration into the company is a valued moment, through the “Welcome on Board” program, which includes the team presentation, a welcome kit, and the sharing of culture and values. Furthermore, the Technology Hubs in Almada and Aveiro were designed to provide comfort and well-being, with renovated spaces and relaxation areas.
The benefits available to employees are another differentiating factor. The company offers a health plan extendable to the family, free access to the gym, an annual profit-sharing model, bonuses based on objectives, and partnerships for free consultations. Employee recognition is also a priority, with initiatives such as offering gift vouchers on birthdays and holding seasonal events, like Christmas and Summer celebrations.
The “Great Place to Work” certification also emerges as a reflection of the commitment to the quality and safety of Crossjoin’s processes, ensured by ISO9001 and ISO27001 certifications.
«These certifications guarantee the excellence of our processes and information security, reinforcing the trust of our employees and clients,» adds Susana Pires.
In addition to the welcoming and well-being initiatives, Crossjoin invests in the continuous growth of its teams through the Academy, a dynamic program of practical and immersive training. «The Academy helps new employees acquire skills and understand the company culture, ensuring a smoother integration,» explains the manager.
With a presence in several countries, Crossjoin promotes various initiatives that strengthen the sense of belonging among employees, regardless of their location.
Internal events play a fundamental role in this strategy. The Christmas celebrations, which include family participation, the Summer events, and the monthly happy hours – held both in person and remotely – allow maintaining proximity between teams.
To reinforce transparency and strategic alignment, the company also organizes quarterly kick-offs, in which leadership shares updates with all employees.
Daily communication is equally a priority. Crossjoin maintains active channels, such as the internal chat “Crossers Share Room” and an intranet accessible to the entire team. Furthermore, daily meetings and online workrooms ensure fluid interaction between teams distributed across different countries.
Susana Pires adds that «in addition to the focus on work, we also promote solidarity actions that strengthen the bonds between employees and the community».
Crossjoin has a strong commitment to the personal development of its employees, promoting initiatives that contribute to their well-being and work-life balance.
The company provides free consultations in areas such as Nutrition, Psychology, legal and financial support, as well as psychosocial support, allowing employees to have access to specialized advice whenever necessary.
In addition to all this, the company adopts a flexible work model, which can be 100% in-person, hybrid, or remote, depending on the requirements of each role. In the Technology Hubs, the investment in infrastructure and comfort ensures an environment conducive to productivity and well-being.
