In this the fifth and final video in the series, ThinkShield employees are posed a number of questions; ranging from their thoughts on their time in the company, to what they think the future holds for IT and the NHS.
In the video, Tim Taylor, (head of ThinkShield’s Healthcare IT Services Company), talks about how he has seen people come and go and how he has enjoyed watching individuals develop and grow in confidence. Tim explains how important it is to invest in the people in the company and how that sets the company apart. When it comes to what he enjoys most about working with the NHS, he talks about a visit to Great Ormond Street Hospital and seeing the tiny beds and small babies in the high dependency unit, and that as a company ThinkShield are helping doctors and nurses run their business.
Life and Business Coach, Andre Radmall reflects on the time he’s spent running a number of coaching days for employees. He talks about how the flat company hierarchy enables employees to be able to talk to anyone in the company and because of this, finding the person who is able to make decisions is simplified. When asked about the company core values, he sums it up as “Good relationships make a good business”.
You will also hear from Peter McCartney and the sense of achievement he gets from doing something good for the community and providing an IT healthcare service. Josh Day reflects on the immense satisfaction he gets from knowing that he's doing a job that helps people, rather than a job that simply makes money.
The video also contains some great sound bites from Nikolay Traykov, Fran Ruano and Matthew Hanson, it’s definitely worth watching.
Here are the links to the other 4 videos in the series, in case you’ve missed them :
To quote Andre,
"Dance Class is the story of the madness and recovery of a wounded healer. Tom is a psychiatrist but he’s also an alcoholic. His life changes when his wife Eva learns to dance, and he learns the truth about his dead father."
"Tom finds sensuality and freedom when movement forces him out of his mind and into his body, and out of his fears and into action."
This play uses drama, music and dance to tell the story of Tom’s struggle to break free from his past.
The play runs from the 17th of January to the 15th of February at Kentish Town's Lion and Unicorn Theatre.
As we look forward to a new year, in this latest video, some of the team reflect on the charitable initiatives that the company have supported over the past 12 months, including financial aid for St. Nicolas Orphanage in Bulgaria.
Andre Radmall talks about how the employees have a vision to make the world a better place; not to simply provide products and services that make money. He suggests that through the relationships we have with our clients and each other; we can make the world a better place. In the coming year some thought will be given to how as a company we can have an impact on the local environment.
You will also hear some of the employees talk about their ideas. Peter suggests that ThinkShield could increase the work they are already doing in Bulgaria by providing IT training to the unskilled and then employing them within the company.
Tim suggests that we have become an 'I' society and how important it is to give back. He talks about how as a company we are looking at the option to allow employees to use some of their company time to work in the local community and support those in real need.
So, whatever your plans are for 2012, here at ThinkShield we would like to wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
