Employee Spotlight – Angela Smith
At Outsource Group, our employees are the heart and soul of our operations, consistently delivering exceptional service and ensuring our customers’ peace of mind. Today, we’re excited to unveil our second “Employee Spotlight” series with Angela Smith, where we celebrate the incredible individuals whose dedication and hard work drive our success.
🌟 Angela is the glue that binds together ANSEC IA (an Outsource Group company). As Office Manager of ANSEC IA, she is a confidante, facilitator, go getter and organisational whizz! (Not to mention she brings the cutest office dog to work for us all to get a cuddle!).
We took some time out to ask Angela some questions on her vital role at Outsource Group:
1. What is your job title?
Office Manager/PA.
2. How long have you worked for the Outsource Group?
Coming up to 1 year.
3. What is your favourite thing about working for the Outsource Group?
If you ask me what my favourite thing about working for Ansec IA is, that’s an easy one to answer: it’s their work ethos. The company not only encourages us to strive for excellence in our professional roles but also promotes a healthy work-life balance. They understand that personal life is as important as professional growth. This balance allows us to bring our best selves to work each day, fostering an environment of productivity and mutual respect. It’s more than just a workplace.
4. What was your motivation for picking the career you now work in?
At school, knowing what I wanted to be when “I grow up” wasn’t clear cut, so I picked subjects I enjoyed and was pretty good at i.e. maths, commerce, typing, art and languages. My mummy envisioned me as a Bi-lingual Interpreter, but I wasn’t convinced! During my “Work Experience” I was placed as a secretary’s assistant. I quickly realised that their role was central to the organisation and required knowledge in a wide variety of areas: HR, H&S, Finance, Legal, Marketing, Training & Development, Sales, Customer Service and Business Development and I’ve never looked back!
5. What is the most rewarding thing about your job?
The most rewarding aspect of my role lies in the variety and complexity of tasks that I handle. The organisational skills required to manage diverse responsibilities as well as the ability to pre-empt and provide solutions enhances my role significantly. Above all, acting as a confidante, facilitating open communication and mutual understanding, is truly rewarding.
6. Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?
I see myself constantly evolving in my role, making a meaningful impact, whilst still enjoying my work. I’m excited about the opportunities for self-improvement that lie ahead and the difference I can make in my workplace.
Alternatively, sailing around the Mediterranean (the crew that is, not me) with my four legged confidante “Koko”, and husband in tow, sipping Espresso Martinis – that would work too!
