“The achievements we are making as a company are always impressive and this happens because of the roles our agents play and let me emphasize that without these sales agents our performance wouldn’t have been convincing as it is happening right now — so they really deserve to be recognized in a special way as part of motivating them,” Chapola said.

In his remarks, Chapola said the awards are a thank you to the employees for being stable, sustainable and dedicated to their work, adding that such dedication deserved to be honoured — “not only after they retire but also while they’re still working in order to instill the spirit of working hard and show the love”.

“As such we need to look after them well so that we achieve our goals as a company at the same time allow them to achieve their goals,” said Chapola, who advised the employees to also start planning for their life after employment so that once they retire their lives must remain the same.”
