The Importance of Team Morale
As many of you know, we are a global team, in a constant state of motion, with training & implementation visits booked months in advance, and hundreds of support calls & emails a week.
As a global company with colleagues located in areas such as the UK, U.S.A, Brazil, South Africa and beyond, and Synchro ERP customers on every continent, you can already imagine a solid communication infrastructure is, and HAS, to be in place to make sure we all work from the same page, knowing, and understanding each customers, and team members individual requirements & needs.
With such a busy schedule, and one that by its own nature, can be unpredictable, team morale is an important factor. You’ll not find a David Brent-alike in Synchro, but we do like to keep in good humour throughout a working day… a few years ago, I added a small change to my morning routine… each day, I add everyone currently in office to a Skype chat, and simply wish everyone a good day, give a brief update on events over the last 24 hours, and give thanks to team members for contributions so far in the week.
To round this off, I add a ‘Random Fact of the Day’ to the end of the greeting… this small change, this five minutes of my time, makes a huge impact to everyone each day… the result of simply saying ‘Hello’ to your work colleagues each day, is that as a team, we all feel united, respected, and included.
The only downside to this tiny addition to my morning routine….. I‘m running out of random facts!.. this however, has been picked up by the company MD, Mr Christopher Collins, who very kindly, and often unexpectedly, keeps me in fact utopia by sending me Fact books through the post….
Bye for now, and as a thank you for reading…
Random Fact of the Day: Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest at a San-Francisco Theatre……
….He lost.

Tangiers
Whilst I was born in Africa I have never neem to any part of North Africa. I have been through the straits of Gibraltar twice on boats been to east, west and South Africa.
With a little bit of looking – one thing that the internet is good at – I discovered that I can catch a Ferry from Tarifa in Spain to the old port of Tangiers. The ferry journey is short and the old port is very close to the oldest parts of the city.

MACH Exhibition April 2018
SYNCHRO ERP Hall 17 Stand # 634
April 9th - April 13th 2018 - NEC Birmingham, UK
MACH 2018 will be moving to a new set of Halls at the NEC. In one uninterrupted single space, on one level, utilising Halls 17,18,19,20 and 6, we will be able to stage the exhibition in a way that provides a bigger range of great locations for your exhibition stand. The Hall move also means we will have additional space to be able to grow the exhibition incrementally in the years to come.
