As a
dedicated and fast-growing Internet company it was only a matter of time until
Digital Performance introduced the position of a Feelgood Manager. The time has
come and we are excited to introduce our very own Feelgood Management trainee.
A companies
wish to create a pleasant work environment for its employees is no secret nor
is it a new idea. However, the specific position of a Feelgood Manager is a
rather recent idea. All personnel matters of a strategic nature are responsibilities
of the Human Resource department. Whereas, the ‘emotional’ support and
assistance falls into the remits of a Feelgood Manager. In a nutshell, a
Feelgood Manager acts as a cultivator of the company culture and is responsible
for the well-being of all employees by having a sympathetic ear regarding any
problems, worries or ideas.
So …, what
are the specific benefits for Digital Performance? In general, our Feelgood
Manager is the first contact person for all employees regarding the
office-life. As mentioned before, any problems, worries or ideas will be
tackled by the Feelgood Manager. In particular, the full onboarding process of
new employees is guided by the Feelgood Manager; ranging from the office tour
and the buddy system to the employee-memory and the onboarding presentation,
amongst others. Nevertheless, old employees needs will not be neglected. Another
important aspect focuses on the internal and external employer branding. In
order to maintain and strengthen the relationship between Digital Performance
and its employees, particular emphasis will be placed on merchandising
products, team events and social media. Hence, Digital Performance is working
hard to proactively enhance its feel-good factor.

worries or complaints. I hope we can strengthen and enrich this office-life
here at Digital Performance.”
