Community – Fun and Friendship

Most of Synergy’s success is down to the hard work of our colleagues who we like to reward with a variety of events which are not only fun but help with team bonding. Here are a few of the events that have taken place recently.

Heritage Day – celebrating South Africa’s beautiful rainbow nation by dressing up in traditional outfits. Heritage Day is also celebrated across all cultures with the authentic South African braai (similar to a barbeque) where friends and families gather for some delicious food and conversation. 

Synergy took advantage by hosting The Ultimate Braai Master Challenge – teams needed to prepare and cook a starter and main meal in the braai within 75 minutes. The winning duo won R1,500 to spend with their teams, the runners up won large portable braai stands and the 3^rd place won Springbok rugby camp chairs.

Monthly awards

Top performing staff are awarded with certificates and Synergy branded gifts on a monthly basis.

Casual Day

In support of people with disabilities, Casual Day allows us to raise funds for charities across South Africa by simply purchasing a Casual Day sticker. Synergy was delighted to contribute R1,500 from sticker purchases.

X-FACTOR

O2 hosted a 12-week X-Factor competition, where agents had to nominate their best calls. Calls were audited internally and externally looking for the best customer experience and ensuring full compliance on calls. The top three agents were awarded amazing prizes: 1^st won a two night stay for two at the Holiday Inn at Umhlanga, 2^nd prize was a microlight flight for two and 3^rd place won a zipline tour for two.

Synergy Kids 

Each month, we invite our children to participate in a design competition. Each child receives a small gift for participation and the top three in three different age categories receive a gift hamper related to the theme.

Synergy Excellence Award Winners

Synergy is blessed to have a professional and hardworking team of people working for us and we in turn like to encourage and reward those who go the extra mile.

Each month, via our Synergy Excellence Awards (SEA) programme, we identify around 15 – 20 top performing colleagues who based on their quality of work, efficiency and attendance have excelled in their roles.

Award winners are selected from across the company including agents, managers and support staff and receive a certificate and a few gifts.

Think Pink Drive

Synergy is proud to have participated in Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October by organising a PinkDrive Fundraiser. Colleagues took part in raffles, cake sales and a number of adventurous souls were brave enough to have their hair colour-sprayed.

All proceeds will be donated to PinkDrive NPC a health sector NGO whose focus is on citizens without access to reasonable care for breast, cervical, prostate and testicular cancer, and who reside in areas where health services do not reach.

PinkDrive operates four principal interventions through its flagship programmes, Clinical Breast Exams, Mammograms, Cervical Cancer Screening and Prostate Specific Antigen Testing.
