"Finding a new job was, for me, the only way out”, begins Raquel Santos when telling us about her experience in one of the most important consulting and auditing companies in Portugal - and in the world. She still remembers the many days when she left work at eight and at ten in the evening ("so many times!”) - and even later -, when she would to the office during the weekend, or even when she ended up taking work home.

Mentioning compensation in a job description can often be a delicate and even complex task. And when you work with Coverflex, for example, where there are endless benefits, how can you highlight the most important ones? Or how can you quantify them? We also know that it's always a challenge having to communicate a concept that is still, for many, unknown, without dispersing.

We believe in celebrating pride in June and in every month of the year. We believe in constantly fighting for equality and diversity, having equality of opportunity for all, and giving every individual the chance to achieve their potential, without prejudice or discrimination. And we’re hoping to be able to imprint our values in our communication - not just today, but everyday.

If you are setting up a startup, there are millions of things on your mind, such as fundraising, development, operations, customer acquisition, and more. I get it, it is hard to set your priorities straight, but please do not overlook your teams and how you are planning to compensate them for their work. When it comes to fulfilling your employee’s needs, it is never too soon to start planning because, ultimately, the perks you offer will set you apart from the competition and help you retain talent.

We are in the thick of a global pandemic. There is no doubt these are tumultuous times. This tide of uncertainty has brought along an economic crisis, social polarisation and many professional and personal challenges, but also an irrefutable certainty: people matter the most.
