5 ways Aptoide is boosting employees' happiness

In the fast-paced world of technology, where innovation and progress drive our every move, we often find ourselves immersed in the pursuit of excellence. However, amidst the code and algorithms, there is a fundamental truth: People and their happiness are the cornerstones of success.

Being a people-focused company, we derive immense satisfaction from making our Aptoiders happy and collaborating toward the same major goal. From a business perspective, there are substantial advantages as well. Studies tell us that happy employees are like productivity superheroes, experiencing a 12% boost in performance.?

That's right; when you're feeling good, you do great work. It's no surprise that many of these studies also reveal that happy people make fewer mistakes, display more loyalty and remain with the company for longer periods, significantly reducing turnover. Knowing this elevates happiness as a top priority!

1. Health & well-being initiatives

We cannot be happy or productive without good health and well-being. That's why our holistic approach includes both physical and mental well-being, along with fostering a supportive work environment. We offer a comprehensive Private Health Insurance, access to our Urban Sports partnership, Personal Trainer Classes, a Mental Health Allowance, and participation in health-related workshops and initiatives. We also promote a culture that respects boundaries, encourages time off, and discourages overwork to prevent burnout.

2. Recognition & appreciation

At Aptoide, we understand that regular recognition and appreciation for employees' efforts and achievements significantly boost morale, happiness, and productivity. Creating a culture of celebration and acknowledging individual and team milestones fosters a positive and supportive work environment.

Regular individual feedback is key, and we have two exemplary programs: the Yearly Aptoide Awards, where all Aptoiders vote for outstanding contributions, and Aptoiders' Lifecycle Rewards, which celebrate personal and professional milestones.?

3. Engage and involve

To create a happy workplace, we ensure that our Aptoiders feel like an integral part of it. This is achieved through common goals, a great onboarding experience (Tutorial Stage), and engaging events and activities that connect Aptoiders. We also maintain open communication through various channels, ensuring that everyone remains connected and informed.

4. Professional development and growth opportunities

Investing in Aptoiders' professional development is crucial for long-term satisfaction and success. We offer training programs, mentorship opportunities and clear paths for career advancement. Our initiatives and processes include the LeadUp Program for Leaders, Aptoiders' Training, Aptoide Ghosting, Feedback Sessions, LevelUp Aptoide and Academic/Professional Internships.

5. Work Life Fit

We want Aptoiders to fit their personal and professional lives as they see best while excelling in their milestones. We trust Aptoiders to choose their daily working hours between 8 am and 8 pm, as long as they meet their goals and tasks. The Hybrid Working Model also allows for in-person collaboration while providing the flexibility of remote work. Aptoiders can work remotely four days a week, with one specific Team Day to attend.
