Vivonet Wins Best Workplace Award
Posted on Thu, Dec 01, 2011 @ 01:27 PM
Vivonet has been recognized by BCBusiness Magazine as one of the 2011 Best Companies to Work For in BC. The key to Vivonet’s success is a corporate environment that hires and fosters the company’s core values of courageous exploration, relentless pursuit of excellence, and personal accountability to team success.
"We have a rigorous hiring process," HR manager Carla Botteselle explains, "and we really focus on bringing the right people in the door. You can have all of the technical skills but if you are not a cultural fit, that's not going to work."
Hiring employees with common values creates a strong foundation. Team members feel confident that coworkers are working equally hard towards a common goal, creating an environment where employees can rely on each other to be accountable, take initiative and work as a team to drive the company’s success.
As a company that tripled in size in 2011, Vivonet knows that orientation and training is an essential part of its success strategy. The extensive training program includes Restaurant Industry Orientation from a Red Seal Chef in order to better understand Vivonet’s customers, how Halo™ integrates with all areas of daily restaurant operations, and an overview of Vivonet's history and the vision for the future.
Vivonet offers a flexible and affordable POS solution called Halo™, which is delivered to restaurant and food service clients simply and securely over the Internet. Data collected allows clients to make better and faster product decisions and improve supply chain optimization.
In 2011 alone Vivonet has been named, amongst others, BCTIA’s Emerging Company of the Year, one of BC’s 20 Most Innovative Companies by BC Business Guide to Innovation, 3rd Fastest Growing Technology Company in BC by TechVibes, one of the Top 100 Best Workplaces in Canada by the Great Place to Work® Institute, and garnered a spot on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ list, ranking 43 in Canada and 243 in North America.
