Tomorrow is International Day of Friendship, and in celebration, we want to highlight the importance of friendships and connections within and outside of our portfolio. Whether they are small or large, we hope you’ve had an opportunity to connect at VPFO Day and your team’s summer socials and gatherings.
Gallup, a leading business analytics group, shows that employees who have a friend at work are significantly more efficient, engaging, supportive of a safer workplace, and innovative.
Thinking about your colleagues and friendships at work, we encourage you to maintain those healthy relationships and continue to create new ones. (Like shown in the picture!)
The most valuable friends at work can be those you share a joke with at a social event and who support you during a crisis or after a difficult meeting.
Having a friend at work can be a key ingredient to building great work culture.
Thank you to everyone who has participated in all our summer socials. We look forward to seeing how our friendships and connections continue to build VPFO culture and push us onward to greater unity and excellence.

Director, VPFO Human Resources
