RP tech India, one of India’s leading IT distribution companies, has taken its employees from 20 different cities of India to a memorable Switzerland tour. Probably the first Indian company to organise a group international tour, RP tech rewarded its branch managers, product managers and champions who achieved remarkable business success. Organized during 6th – 11th October, the Switzerland tour was packed with lots of fun activities and surprises for employees to offer them much needed leisure after almost two years of the challenging period.
Foreign Trip Scheme (FTS) is a motivational tool to encourage employees to bring out the best in them to achieve set business goals. It also aims at improving the work quality, foster employee loyalty and reduces attrition. RP tech India is the first company in the IT channel industry to commence (FTS) both for employees and channel partners. As part of its initiative, the company announced the Switzerland trip in 2019. However, as the COVID-19 global pandemic hit, the company postponed the tour for the safety of its employees. RP tech ensured timely vaccination of all eligible employees along with their family members. After carefully analysing the global travel scenario, the company announced fresh dates. The major highlight of this FTS was that employees were allowed to bring their spouses and offered them a romantic holiday at an exotic location.
The tour had lots of fun activities and surprises for employees and their spouses. They visited some of the iconic places in Switzerland like the Swiss National Museum, Old Town, (Alstadt), the Zurich Opera House, Chinese Garden, Bahnhofstrasse and the Fraumunster Church, Interlaken, Schwarzwalduhren Zentrum and Lucerne. RP tech team ensured seamless execution of the itinerary. All participants appreciated the efforts of the team for giving them a memorable experience of a Switzerland tour.
Sharing his feedback, Mihir Talekar, Business Manager, said, “Switzerland tour with our branch managers, some champions & CO team is like a dream come true. Last year when due to the pandemic, we needed to postpone this tour at the last minute. However, once the situation improved and vaccination gave us enough confidence to travel internationally. I am very grateful to our management for giving us this opportunity. These five days were the most enjoyable time with friends after a long time that infused a breath of fresh air in us. Thanks a lot to our management for this wonderful opportunity, the in-house organizing team who ensured our comforts during the whole time and SOTC team for a flawless tour execution.”
Prasad Naik, Product Manager, said, “I’m falling short of words to describe the out of this world experience in the last few days. Thanks to RP tech management and the hard work put in by all the branches to qualify for this trip.” While, Biju Thomas, Branch Manager, Trivandrum, said, “I was eagerly waiting for this day. I thank the management for rewarding my performance. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and also forged new friendships with fellow teammates. The entire tour was well-coordinated and covered most of the popular tourists’ destinations. I had a pleasant time.”
Endorsing similar views, Ankur Gupta, Branch Manager RP tech Jammu said, “I was travelling abroad after almost two years. Hence, excitement was high.
