Training is a cornerstone of Engel & Völkers activities. This also passes through team building opportunities, in which we can build relationships, share points of view and experiences, network. As a team, we therefore abandoned the sea for once, to share with colleagues the Engel & Völkers shops in Venice, Treviso, Varese, Gallarate, Lake Maggiore and Courmayeur in an extraordinary location: Castelbrando Castle, set for 2000 years among the wonderful hills of Prosecco.
The theme of the meeting was “Connecting the dots”. The "dots", in this case, were represented by the Engel & Völkers shops in various locations in Northern Italy. Apparently distant people who have had the opportunity to discover meeting points and create synergies, giving rise to a new, even stronger and more cohesive group. Because the focus of these training days is the professional growth of our Agents, Team Assistants and our entire work group. In fact, only a close-knit team can achieve the ambitious individual and collective results that we set for ourselves. That is, constantly improve the quality of our services, in accordance with the standards of excellence of a brand such as Engel & Völkers, placing customer satisfaction at the center of the entire work.
The two days began with speeches by License Partners Alessandro Lotito, by Valentina Valenti, new head of marketing and digital at Engel & Völkers Italia and by Filippo Castelbarco, regional manager for licenses in North East Italy. With Paola Dezza, a journalist from Il Sole 24 Ore, we explored some trends in the sector, while former basketball champion Riccardo Pittis, now an inspirational coach and motivational speaker, made us reflect on the value of being a team, starting from his experience as an athlete. Marta Piuri, our human resources manager, closed the first day, which was also an opportunity to reward the Agents and Offices that achieved the most prestigious goals in 2022.
We spent the second day in full spirit of team building, together with the Infinity Unconventional Education trainers. Given the place, the activities that involved us were based on the idea of the medieval jousting. From the invention of a motto, to the creation of your own banner, up to the graphic representation of a "value", we are committed to obtaining the best results. A symbolic but extremely effective way to tell the values of Engel & Völkers. Competence, exclusivity, passion are the cornerstones that guide us every day, and this allows us to support each of our customers in all phases of the sale and purchase of a property, not only taking care of the technical or bureaucratic aspects, but taking care of his all-round project, including the expectations and emotional involvement that often accompany such important moments in one's life.
