Thank you so much for your positive review! In my role as CEO/GM it is difficult to know for certain if employees feel valued. Employee retention is very healthy. That is one measure. We work hard to recognize our employees and we certainly value every single person who works at Windward. We are a smaller team and everyone is seen and heard. Everyone's contributions really count. I sure hope every single person at Windward knows how much they mean to the company.
Since the pandemic arrived in early 2020, all employees have been working remotely. We take our cues from our people and regular employee surveys tell me and the leadership team that our people enjoy the work-from-home environment and the flexibility it offers. We have found that the elimination of work-to-home commuting costs and the associated time saving is appreciated. Introducing summer hours on Fridays and really understanding the value of flexibility for people so they can get to personal appointments and childcare drop-offs and pick-ups are really important in normal family life. There are unfortunate trade-offs, which include less social fun and team interactions. People miss just being together. The value of water-cooler meetups and casual, unscheduled chats cannot be minimized and are really missed by many.
With reference to the product: the core of the System Five solution depends on time-tested business logic and tech, that is true. We continue to phase in new technologies for customers, via our cloud solutions, Add-ons, Integrations and Mobile solutions. We seek to introduce new, proven technologies. We will not be stuck in the past. It is important to provide customers with reliable, proven solutions that work so their businesses can operate without disruption and downtime. Yes, it is still very effective and thank you for recognizing that.
Thank you again for your review. As a current employee, we truly appreciate you and your choice to be part of Windward Software.
