What are the 3 words you would use to describe Amway GBS Kraków?

• Family/Relations/Business

 

How would you explain your day job to a child?

• People are joking that the Office Manager is the “Chief Happiness Officer”, and I really like it. In the simplest way: I am always doing my best to make our employees happy  😉

 

What do you like the most about your job?

• That I have an “impact”, and I have a feeling that I am doing important and visible things.

 

What drew you to Amway GBS Kraków originally? And how has our company changed since?

• Wow, it was many, many years ago (12 😉). At that time Amway was only starting its operations in Kraków, with 30/40 people on board. Currently, Amway hires almost 600 employees who are supporting different regions across the globe: Australia, NZ, both Americas- significant change. I studied International Relations and American studies. I always knew that I would like to work for an American company because I like their culture of work. At that time in 2010, Amway was completely unknown to Kraków’s Market and it made me even more curious about it 😊 That was my best decision to start working at Amway.

 

What advice would you give to Amway candidates / recent new hires?

• Advice… I don’t know, I just would like to say: that Amway is a great company, focused on people! Good luck! 😊

 

What is the best book you have ever read?

• Difficult one: I am not sure if it was the best one, but for sure most important for me personally: “We need to talk about Kevin”. A book about the tough relationship between a mother and her teenage son. L. Ramsay did a movie based on that book with great actors: Tilda Swinton, Ezra Miller.

 

If Hollywood made a movie about your life, who would you like to see cast as you?

• Easy one- Angelina Jolie, because we have b-day the same day -4.06 😉 

 

You’re the happiest when…?

• I am happiest when I am doing meaningful things. I am happy during and after Muay Thai training, when my kids are smiling, when I am traveling, riding a bike, reading good books, chatting/working with my fantastic team 😊 Sometimes small but crucial things.
