A True Master Is One That Inspires Others
Sandis Eglavs, CEO and founder of Equilia, one of the leading companies in the digital lending market, tells us how to motivate employees, build a dream team and provides valuable insights for young and aspiring professionals.
Without the team, there is no business
Our team is the main key to success of Equilia. Team is very important. Equilia was founded in 2009 and experienced significant growth throughout these years. The company has recruited the best professionals in the sector, offering not only a highly rewarding remuneration system but also true care for the wellbeing of one’s team members.
The best team gets the best treatment
Recently the management team of Equilia attended a training camp in the picturesque Marbella, Spain, where under the supervision of a professional coach they underwent premium quality training sessions and were treated by a private chef who prepared nutritious, healthy meals. For our sales team, the achievements were celebrated at the beginning of the year with a thrilling snowmobile adventure in the Finnish countryside. Additionally, there was a party for the entire team on a charming private island in Estonia. An entire island was booked for the team of Equilia to have a hippie style party. And, of course, all the great office perks employees of Equilia get to experience – free meals, paid workouts, unlimited supply of free fruits in the office.
Care is being appreciated
As there are colleagues who have been working in the company for 7 or more years, loyalty is a word that truly characterises the team of Equilia. Sandis Eglavs founded Equilia in 2009, and what started as a one-person company has now grown into a team of over 60 talented professionals. Apart from all the benefits and bonuses provided to them, team members of Equilia also greatly appreciate valuable insights Equilia founder is offering to them. As the success of Equilia was achieved with great persistence, willingness to improve, learn new things and become wiser.
Choose your trade and stick to it
When asked for his advice to young professionals seeking their formula for success, Sandis says: “Do not try to be a master of all trades. Choose a field, a direction you are good at and then try to polish your skills and abilities in this area to the perfection. And don’t be impatient, keep in mind that you will not be able to do it in a day; your mastery will grow gradually. If you will do that, a moment will come, when you will be better than your competitors and customers will notice that. This is your time to shine.”
