As December unfolds, we stand on the threshold of a new year, ready to say goodbye to the past. This is the perfect time to reflect on the journey we have taken, the challenges we have faced, and the successes we have celebrated as a close-knit team. Let’s look at some of our team’s highlights of the past year!
2023 – a year of growth & team spirit
The past two years have seen fantastic growth. After the great success during the corona pandemic, 2023 was a year that did present some challenges, pushing us to adapt and evolve as a team. Our key drivers of our commitment to deliver exceptional service remained top priority. And with our partners and great team we managed to achieve this again this year. Let’s look at some memorable moments shared by our team throughout the year. It’s in these moments of shared laughter that our team bonds! After all, it is the dedication and spirit of our team that underpins the excellent quality and service we consistently deliver.
1. January – ready to kick off the year!
In January, according to the annual tradition, our kick-off took place. During our kick-off, the strategy for the coming year is presented, followed by a party where we dance until the early hours. Our 2024 will be a special one: Discorp will be celebrating its 30th anniversary this year!
2. February – Product training extravaganza 🧠
As you may know, offering excellent Service is one of Discorp’s core values. To provide the best possible customer experience, we aim to have an extensive and up-to-date knowledge about the solutions, products, and brands we offer. This is why we constantly organize training sessions for our team with our key partners.
5. March – Disco(rp)bar after-work
In March our very first Disco(rp)bar after-work 🪩 took place! Spending time and connecting with others can help boost your mood and provide a sense of connection and support. Enough reasons to enjoy some food & drinks with the entire team…
5. April – Celebrating Women in IT 🎉
In April, we directed the spotlight towards women in IT, recognizing that they are still underrepresented in the IT sector as of 2023. We interviewed Stephanie Rammeloo, our Managing Partner, who shared insights about her experiences working in the IT sector and the importance of fostering a diverse workforce. If you’d like to read the interview (again), be sure to check out April’s blog post.
3. May – Building stronger partnerships through teambuildings 💪
In the dynamic landscape of today’s business world, forging strong partnerships is not just a goal but a necessity. To celebrate these partnerships, we were treated by some of our partners to some fun team activities in May and August. Our team-building experiences really go beyond traditional exercises: they are crafted to cultivate a culture of unity, trust, and shared success with our partners.
6. June – our annual event
In June, we hosted our third client event. The 2023 theme ‘Digital Zen’ focused on the practice of applying principles of mindfulness and conscious presence to our interactions with technology and supporting your employees’ mental health in the digital age.
7. Augustus, September, October & November – Food truck fiesta🥤🍕🍟 🍔
During these months, we embarked on a culinary journey that fosters team spirit in a unique and flavorful way! From smoothies to burgers, these mobile kitchens serve up not just food, but a recipe for strengthening bonds and fostering a spirited team environment. We were treated to our own Foodtruck Festival by Jabra, Van Domburg, Apple & EPOS!
4. October – participating in ‘De Roze Mars’
In May and October, we participated in The Pink March, organized by Pink Ribbon, the organization dedicated to the fight against breast cancer. The non-profit organization calls on everyone to take 10,000 steps daily. Naturally, Discorp is a big fan of this initiative and encouraged the team each time to take up the challenge. We even organized an internal competition to give them an extra boost of motivation. This way we not only contribute to charity but also to the health of the team. Did you know that walking increases blood flow to the brain, resulting in a clearer head, reduced stress and improved productivity?!
What’s next?
As we close the 2023 chapter, we do so with a sense of satisfaction. We would like to thank our incredible team for their tireless efforts. Here’s to the achievements of 2023 and the promising years ahead! Brace yourselves as the new year will hold some exciting developments! We can already give you a hint: 2024 will bring many, many novelties… Stay tuned!
