Present wants to hear from you! Have you gotten a not so great employee or client gift? We want to hear it!!! Message us a photo of your absolute worst gift and what it was for. The winner will get a special prize! Pictured below is a photo of what was available to us for our 5th work anniversary. Nothing is more rewarding then a set of measuring and mixing bowls I use to cook for my family after a 2 hour commute and 8 hours in the office (Sarcasm)!!!
Today, I am honored to be celebrating my 16-Year Work Anniversary with my company! That is a lifetime to some. It feels amazing. The people who I have met, and the things that I have learned on this journey have shaped my life in so many ways.
Here are some of the lessons that I have learned over the years...
* Work/life balance is crucial. It is important not to lose sight of what you are working for. Take the vacation. Go to the little-league game. Live a good life. It is short and you only get ONE. So, work to live, not the other way around.
* Be kind and respectful and greet everyone. Every person in every position.
* Give your respect freely but give your trust wisely. Guard your heart and your personal life. Be discreet. Know the difference between being friends and being friendly. Check your emotions. Don’t react quickly. Observe silently. Avoid office politics and gossip.
* Show up. Be consistent and take action.
* Be sincere, intentional and authentic. This goes for both your business and your personal life.
* Don’t be afraid to ask people to share their wisdom and experience with you. Share your knowledge with others.
* Know the difference between healthy competition and unhealthy “comparisonitis”.
* Use the right tools, organize everything, and keep good notes.
* Clear is Kind. Keep your communications clear, concise and easy to understand.
* Confidence in your abilities and knowing your value is important to your success. Believe in yourself and in your work.
And just like it’s been 5 years since I joined Impact, not sure where the time has gone, but it has been a blast! 💥
Recruitment has certainly had its challenges over the last few years, I have learnt so much by working in this industry and it’s one of the reasons why I love it 😍
Every day is different, no day is the same, it is forever changing and adapting, with new challenges and is highly rewarding when you find that perfect job for the perfect person.
So here is to many more years of working in this incredible industry 🥂🍾🎉

When things get hard…
This is what it actually means:
1. You are doing something that’s meaningful to you.
2. Success will taste a lot better later.
3. You are getting a training on handling hard for when it gets hardER.
4. You get an opportunity to sharpen skills.
5. You get an opportunity to realign yourself with your true values.
6. You got an opportunity to cut down on distractions.
7. You got an opportunity to create great memories (this one day is going to be the ‘good old days’).
8. You got a great opportunity to learn something new about yourself.
This is what it actually means among other cool things.
My LinkedIn network is reminding me today is my work anniversary.
So this is the perspective I'd like to share with you.
When it gets hard, that's one of the main ingredients for magic to happen.
So, take it the way it comes!
🎉Happy 1st Work Anniversary to Brittnie Gerard! 🎉 Brittnie is our Office Clerk, who joined us in August of 2023. Here’s what she had to say about her big day:
1- Why did you want to work for/be a part of the Economic Alliance?
At first, I did not realize I wanted to, as I started as a temporary employee. However, as I got to know the team and how hard we work to grow a stronger business community, I knew I wanted to stay.
2- What has been the most rewarding part of being on this team?
The most rewarding part about being on this team is knowing that what I do every day does matter and is part of the bigger picture.
3- How are you planning on celebrating your anniversary? What excites you about the upcoming year?
Hmm… I don’t know how I will celebrate; I haven’t really thought about it until now. Market After Dark is this weekend, and this will be my first time participating in it. I am thrilled to be involved with that! My goal for next year is to grow even more professionally by trying new opportunities and meeting new people.
4- What is your favorite Economic Alliance brand color and why?
My favorite EA brand color is teal because it is a great accent color- I even have it in my kitchen.
Let’s celebrate Josh Sanchez’s three-year work anniversary with some of his key takeaways! 🥳
‘There is Power in Community - For me having a strong community at work is what breeds true inclusivity and belonging. These communities have the ability to make you feel empowered and seen. What a beautiful thing to feel at work.
If you have a Vision, Take Ownership - Have a vision? Own it and run with it because that’s when a vision can become your reality.
Curiosity is an underestimated trait - It’s helped me understand my clients better and see how pieces of our business work together. It’s helped me empathize with others as I’ve gained an understanding of their perspective. It’s led me on a journey of learning as I’ve sought out new knowledge. I’m starting to think the saying “Curiosity killed the cat” was a scare tactic.’
What’s your top takeaway from your time at LinkedIn? 🌟
#LinkedInLife
As I approach my one-year anniversary at NewGen IT Technologies Pvt Ltd, formerly VCARE InfoTech Solutions and Services Pvt Ltd, I find myself reflecting deeply. It’s disheartening to see some former colleagues, who were once part of our company, now spreading unfounded rumors after leaving a few months ago. They should recognize that our company provided them ample opportunities for growth, both monetarily and in terms of promotion, opportunities they did not receive in their previous workplaces.
There's a saying that resonates deeply with this situation: "People often criticize what they once cherished." It’s clear to me now why this occurs, but it prompts me to question: What do they gain by damaging their own integrity? They left the company under the influence of a former employee who was dismissed by management for poor performance, unethical behavior, and causing significant financial losses to the company. So why propagate such false feedback about a company that once belonged to them as well? Their behavior is truly questionable.
If there are genuine concerns, why resort to hiding behind fake identities (including the company's name and their own) to voice them? Valid grievances deserve transparent discussion. Instead of diminishing their credibility, they should pinpoint where improvements are needed and seek resolution openly. Leaving a company should signify personal growth and encourage the same for others. Let’s foster constructive dialogue and leave groundless accusations behind.
It's almost time for our 10th anniversary celebration.
Over the last few posts, we've looked at the elements of our newly refined brand, and today we reveal our Brand Purpose - the 'why' of what we do:
'Engineering Futures, Constructing Partnerships.
We empower businesses by solving one of their biggest challenges: finding the right people.
We're not just recruiters; we're problem-solvers and enablers, helping to lift businesses by ensuring they have the talent they need to succeed.

We worked with @wearerebel_lion to enable us to shape our future journey, and we're looking forward to the next 10 years of Mech Tech.

As I celebrate my work anniversary today, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on some invaluable lessons I have gathered in the past year of being a 'Corporate Girlie':
▶ Forging your own path: Cookie-cutter careers are so 1998! Instead of chasing prescribed routes, try carving your own niche - this could well be the beginning of a journey of self-discovery, unlocking hidden potential and leaving an impression which uniquely defines you!
▶ Embracing open doors: Make sure to leave the sugarcoating on your cupcakes and have candid conversations with your mentors on what is working, what isn't and most importantly what you truly want. This will help them help you forge your path!
▶ Intentional Networking: Think beyond Linkedin connections. In-person networking events if utilized tactfully can go a long way in helping you cultivate genuine and powerful connections in the workforce. Practise your elevator pitch and ditch the algorithm to find your real world tribe!
▶ Self - Advocacy: Blowing your own trumphet might not be very fun for a lot of us, but it is important to make sure you articulate your contibutions, celebrate milestones and own your own narrative. In my opinion, self-advocacy is the professional expression of self-value.
▶Embrace Balance: Hobbies have a transformative power which is pretty understated, they act as much needed distractions while granting you fresh perspectives. Make sure to indulge in your 5-9's as deeply as you do in your 9-5.
P.s - Happy New Year and here's to a successful 2024!
