The best decision of my life
I joined O2 at a period in my life when almost everything was on a downward spiral. I had been recently made redundant, had to sell my house and my marriage had failed (some may say that part was a blessing!). I had worked in the independent mobile sector for 5 years previously and having worked with all networks I was aware of O2’s care and work ethic to it’s staff and customers was of a high standard. Having been in management for a number of years and been made redundant, I made the tough decision to enter O2 at an Advisor level but had no idea what a life changing decision that would be.
O2 are a company that looks out for the best interests of customers and staff alike. I have never worked for anyone as willing to listen to it’s employees and see both sides to a story or problem. Staff working for O2 are treated with the utmost respect, are listened to as much as senior management and their views are always considered when changes to the business are needed. We have blog sites, group chats, conference calls, feedback requests and great interaction with colleagues in different areas of the business.
O2 taught me a lot that I did not know about myself as well as coaching and guiding on ways to improve myself at both a professional and personal level. I doubt there are many companies out there willing to spend the time and money doing that for even their most senior staff. I am now in a management position where I am both skilled and respected to a level where I could easily take a move to the competition on better terms but I simply would not do it as I care for the company and just enjoy the job too much. The job security and pleasure I get from working at O2 where I know my best interests are looked after is worth so much more than actual financial or selfish gain.
Moving to O2 was the best decision of my life… I would not change it for the world.
