Long-tenured employees are a strong sign of healthy and prosperous corporate culture. Indeed, when a worker stays five or more years with a company, it becomes a space of growth and psychological well-being for newcomers. At DevelopmentAid, we are proud to have a number of people who spent more than a decade of their career with us. We call them DecAiders, and today we celebrate their effort and progress in the company.
A decade of development
Time flies fast. It feels like yesterday all of them were at the beginning of their careers, in a small office in the heart of Chisinau. Today, twelve years later, we have nine of them who celebrate 10 or even more years with DevelopmentAid. Their longevity and career paths inspire younger generations of employees.
Let’s meet our pros and give them Kudos next time we meet them by the watercooler.
