The nbn is rolling out, replacing many old technologies and connected services. What does that mean for your business?

https://switchtelecom.com.au/do-i-have-to-change-to-the-nbn/

New blog post!

What's Kaizen - and why are we so fond of it at Switch?

https://switchtelecom.com.au/kaizen/

One of our core values at Switch is “We learn from our mistakes and don’t repeat them”. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, we’ve started to feel that it does not push us far enough in the direction we want to go. Yes, we should learn from and ideally not repeat mistakes – b...

Everyone that knows Switch knows that our Core Values run deep in everything we do. Last month "working hard for a fair reward" really paid off, as our Staff and their families spent time together enjoying the reward for achieving our Q2 Incentives Target. It's never easy coming into Christmas to achieve our metrics, but our teams worked around the clock in what ended up being and incredible month of growth with the completion of a number of Customer Projects, Process Improvement works and New Client Orders...

At Switch we like to

We had a 'fire drill' to see how the team and our systems would cope with us working offsite if needed. It's important as a hosted service provider to be able to stand behind our product portability. We're very happy to report that all went well and it was a complete success. We managed to by taking time out at lunch for a few games and tomfoolery. We will definitely be having more 'fire drills' in the future.

Thanks to the team at Barringo for hosting us.

This Month's Kaizen award has gone to Rikki Manitta! Congratulations!

"I've decided to award Rikki with this month's Kai Zen because he has improved our systems for managing large retail customers. He has helped tighten the processes around stock control and service activations. He has raised the bar by implementing accountability measures which has pushed Switch Telecom to an even higher standard.
Beyond this, he is constantly improving the whole team's vibe. Rikki has a positive attitude towards everything and helps us all to see the brighter side of life. He is always the first to put his hand up to help someone out, or turn up early to decorate for a special occasion." - Zoe Walter

This Month's Kaizen award has gone to one of our newest team members Zoe Walter!! Congratulations

"I've decided to award Zoe with this award because I can see that she's quickly taken on a lot more responsibility in the last couple of months. She is absolutely staying on top of everything and helping sort out staff schedules. She's booking and managing install dates, keeping on top of staff calendars, managing events and even catering among many other things.

Between all this Zoe’s still finding time to apply the principles of Kaizen by improving processes, such as working with the technical staff to implement new solutions for stock management and inventory controls" Great Job Zoe - Shannon Squires""

We're extremely proud to announce last month's Kaizen award was presented to Arpita.

"The reason for giving the Kaizen award to Arpita was that she has repeatedly stepped up and out of her comfort zone in the past month, going out onsite to troubleshoot and install services, being firm but fair when escalating issues with our upstream providers, and generally delivering on all things she set her mind to.” - Mat Davies
