YOU Are ITWorx: An Event Filled with Heartwarming H.A.P.P.P.I-ness & Illuminating Insights!
In keeping with ITWorx’s tradition of being a “people-first” solution provider, this year’s Corporate Event (CE) looked to extend and emphasize this message internally. As such, the theme for this year’s CE was “YOU are ITWorx.” At ITWorx, we like to visually conceptualize our company as a scenically colorful mosaic, with each ITWorxian being a uniquely beautiful piece that compliments the exquisiteness of the overall image!
Capitalizing on our workplace culture, we wanted to ensure that ITWorxians understand the indispensability of their unique contributions to organizational success. Indeed, we wanted our ITWorxians to know that their irreplaceable prints and contributions continue to drive ITWorx towards organizational success: it is not an exaggeration to say that every single ITWorxian is a foundational building block to ITWorx’s success.
In that spirit, we felt it was time to celebrate the exemplary commitment, galvanizing passion, amicable agility, inspiring integrity, and incredible all-around work of our inspiring ITWorxians. From the moment ITWorxians walked through the door, they were greeted with an assortment of fun activities (including a polaroid photo booth and an instant laser tattoo artist), delicious snacks, refreshing juice, energizing coffee, and an opportunity for some casual networking.
As ITWorxians moved inside the banquet hall, the MCs introduced this year’s theme! It was then time for some ice-breaking fun through a puzzle-type game. The winners of this intellectually stimulating challenge received VIP Cinema Tickets.
After the game came the Keynote Speech delivered by ITWorx’s very own Founder and Managing Director, Youssri Helmy. The speech highlighted the triumphs of 2022 and delineated the strategic roadmap for 2023. Following Youssri’s speech was a small break, proceeded by the first tombola; a random name was drawn, and the lucky winner – Hesham Higazy- received a Smart Watch!
Following this, it was time for ITWorx’s very own Human Resources Director, Wessam Mostafa, to deliver an insightfully perceptive presentation, outlining how ITWorx has improved the experience of its people -i.e., ITWorxians- in the year 2022 and how this 28-year long tradition will continue to grow, prosper, and flourish in the year 2023. In direct application of ITWorx’s open-door policy, the floor was then open for ITWorxians to ask questions to the organization’s leadership candidly.
Following this Q & A Session was an engaging Kahoot! Trivia Game (and we have to say ITWorxians went WILD for this game, with the winning team receiving VIP Cinema tickets). It was then time for a hot lunch, served with a side of light-hearted socialization. After the lunch break, ITWorxians worked together to construct ITWorx City, literally! Once completed, the built city provided a perfect opportunity for photos.
The day, of course, did not end there; as a humble show of gratitude to our ITWorxians, giveaways were distributed to all attending ITWorxians. It was then time for Asser Ezzo, ITWorx’s President, to randomly draw a name and announce the winner of the second tombola: ITWorxian Ahmed Shehata won a Nespresso Machine!
Once all was said and done, ITWorx’s different teams/departments took turns taking photos on stage to commemorate this fantastic event and its many memorable moments. We loved seeing our ITWorxians come together; to many more years of true-to-form ITWorxian H.A.P.P.P.I-ness!
DoZen: See the Change, Do the Work, and Live life to the Fullest!
Empowering conscientious and culturally sensitive collaborations, enhancing career journeys, and cultivating a committed talent pool, are the building blocks of enriching Employee Experience (EX). With this in mind, ITWorx, in partnership with QnA International, collaborated to bring the business world Employee Engagement: Re-imagined! Taking place in Dubai, the exceptional event was home to a guest list of seasoned veterans and C-level Executives in the fields of Human Resources (HR) and Communications. The attendees proactively enriched this event with their insightful comments, years of experience, and forward-looking thinking while participating in light-hearted networking over energizing coffee and delicious food.
The event opened with an eloquent Keynote Presentation by Human Capital guru Dr. Ebrahim AlKhajeh: Human Capital Director at Abu Dhabi Customs. Following Dr. AlKhajeh’s insightful introductory speech, ITWorx’s very own President, Asser Ezzo, delivered an enlightening presentation defining the obstacles facing organizations in a post-Covid epoch of remote and hybrid work. Simultaneously Asser’s presentation charted a constructively detailed roadmap for the future of workplace cultures by delineating the countless ways in which implementing digital Employee Experience (EX) platforms can help organizations overcome obstacles.
Following Asser’s perceptive presentation was a lively panel discussion outlining how organizations can work to create an engaging, dynamic, and desirable workplace environment/workforce. The panel discussion spotlighted Ms. Debra Tales (Group Vice President, People & Culture, Al Ghurair Investment), Mr. Imran Ahmad Group (Chief HR Officer, Jashanmal National Company LLC), Ms. Mona Mohamed Fekri (Chief Human Capital Officer, Dubai Cable Company – DUCAB), and Dr. AlKhajeh. ITWorx’s People & Culture Director, Wessam Wagdy, moderated the panel discussion.
Following the panel discussion was an animated and interactive demo (expertly administered by ITWorx’s very own Director of Research & Development, Amr Elsehemy) of ITWorx’s latest and greatest Employee Experience (EX) platform: DoZen. From personalizing content to creating digital cultural communities to facilitating collaboration to sharing employee milestones to customizing onboarding features, to gamifying employee experience, to identifying patterns using analytics, to unifying multiple layers of work in one personalized place (and so much more), the demo highlighted the endless ways in which DoZen can drive organizations, and their employees, towards measurable success. Indeed, when employees can conceptualize and SEE their place in the organization (as human beings first), and when employees can DO their work and manage their 9 to 5 (alongside their 5 to 9) from a single platform, they will be encouraged to LIVE, and experience work very differently (without risking employee burn-out, nor hurting the organization’s bottom-line results). Questions on everything related to DoZen were then answered by ITWorx’s Product Engineering Executive Director Nermine Ghonima, and Amr Elsehemy, during a series of focused round table discussions.
With a legacy spanning 25 years in designing, implementing, and supporting Employee Experience (EX) solutions, we are proud to say that ITWorx’s event – Employee Engagement, Re-imagined – builds upon our historical, regional, and international paradigm-shifting presence in the field of EX.
