Health awareness is the first crucial step towards making safe choices and creating a wholesome, happy life! NICErs from our Israel office enjoyed Health Awareness Month throughout November, and there was definitely something for everyone! Fast-paced Zumba classes. Engaging discussions on nutrition and digestive health. Brave blood donations. Challenging Yoga sessions. Necessary breast checks. Life-saving first aid courses. Insightful Cancer awareness panel. Energizing Pilates classes. Essential ergonomic education. All in all, our NICErs received top-notch health education and had a blast doing it!
NICErs from our Israel office were hoping for a cold, windy day to welcome winter at our recent soup festival… But the sun decided to make an appearance after all! ☀️ With lots of yummy soups to choose from 🍲, NICErs enjoyed sitting together outside under the last few rays of summer before cozying up for winter. ❄️ Keep warm, everyone! 🧣
While the whole world has its eyes set on Qatar for the FIFA World Cup, our NICErs from India have been closely following a different ball! NICErs from our Pune office showed off their sporting skills at the 6th annual Box Cricket Tournament! With 48 participating teams, 500 NICErs put on quite the show as they played their hearts out and cheered on their friends. Through each nail-biting match, the incredible strength and camaraderie of our NICE teams was the star of the show. It’s not a given that employees come together and share wonderful moments outside of the work boundaries, and yet, we see this all the time at NICE! Special shout out to Oceans Eight – our winning team – and to all the runner ups. Great cricket action!
Meet Stephanie Mulloy! Stephanie has been a NICEr since 2009 when she began as an entry-level Client Services Representative. Since then, she has grabbed opportunities in Professional Services, Tech Support and Operations, but her biggest role change came in 2017 when she took up the role of Program Manager in an R&D unit – a whole new world for her! Instead of dealing directly with customers, she started interacting with internal teams such as services/support and R&D, to facilitate customer engagement. Earlier this year, Stephanie was promoted to Engineering Manager. She said, “I’ve been a NICEr for 13 years now so very little surprises me, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I love working in R&D! I always thought of this domain as a place for developers only, but I truly feel like I have found my place here in a support role. I really wanted to explore this new domain as I love trying new things and challenging the status quo”. Keep it up, Stephanie!
Customer Service Appreciation Week 2022 – our week-long celebrations for our customer-facing NICErs – was EXTRAORDINARY! NICErs from all around the world enjoyed competitions, celebrations and more, both in person and online! From tug-of-war and a Bollywood-themed fashion show in India, delicious yummies and photoshoots in London, a virtual escape room and prizes in APAC, cocktails and shuffleboard in Chicago, bowling and golf in Hoboken, and the list goes on. This was definitely a week to remember! To all our customer-facing NICErs: Thank you for being the smile! We don’t know what we would do without your incredible work!
A whole new squad of Code:Coda super girls! A whopping 132 of them! Did you know that women comprise less than 28% of the workforce in high tech fields? And that only 19% of computer science students are women? We are dedicated to changing this gender imbalance and empowering girls to pursue careers in technology. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that a new cohort of teen girls started NICE’s Code:Coda program, giving them an opportunity to be exposed to the world of technology, and to be inspired by our 50+ NICE female mentors. Hundreds of girls have already completed the program, and 60% of these Code:Coda alumni completely changed their minds about technology, and selected computer science as their high school major – an amazing feat considering these girls previously had little to no interest in tech. If the opening activity is anything to go by, our Coda:Coda newbies will also be pursuing tech! It’s clear to see that they loved their first hackathon, and are eagerly awaiting their next Code:Coda meeting!
Meet Mehulmani Tripathi! He began his NICE journey back in 2015 as a Performance Engineer where he owned the entire performance testing process from scratch. After learning many new technologies – like AWS, Big Data, Tableau – in his NICE journey, he decided to pursue a new opportunity in the performance domain, and he’s never looked back! Mehulmani has only grown from strength to strength at NICE, where today he works as Tech Manager, Engineering. He says “It has been an exciting journey for me. I lead the performance and stability efforts, and also enjoy trying my hands on the latest and most advanced stability-related initiatives such as Chaos Engineering, Capacity Management and Performance COE Development etc”. Moreover, Mehulmani is confident about his future at NICE: “The company’s vision to expand in the space of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud and Digital, has opened doors for everyone working here. Together with ownership and support from the management, these career opportunities are exactly what tech professionals are looking for!”
It's official! NICE is an AWESOME place to work!
At NICE we love a good reason to celebrate, and the Presidents Club is no exception. Our top APAC and EMEA Salespeople for the year (44 of them!) were rewarded with an unbelievable, jam-packed, 4-day adventure to Dubai! Our winners were treated like Arabian royalty! From fine dining at the best restaurants and interacting with dolphins to enjoying the colors and smells of the Spice and Gold Souk, and being whisked away to new heights at the Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world!), our sales champs had a ball! To end off this trip of a lifetime, our NICErs were treated to a magical farewell dinner in the Arabian desert, together with camel rides and an exciting Falcon show set against a breathtaking sunset! Want to stand the chance to be part of next year’s Presidents Club? Check out our open Sales positions!
October 2022 was Global Diversity Awareness Month! As usual, we put a spotlight on the commonalities and differences that make NICE the diverse and inclusive company that we are super proud of. Around the world, we had lots of fun and insightful activities going on in our NICE offices, all in the spirit of embracing our individualities. Food and culture exchanges, celebrating Diwali globally, a Women in Sales event, unconscious bias workshops, “lunch ‘n learn” sessions such as the Black contribution to LGBTQIA, are just a few ways that NICErs took part in Global Diversity Awareness Month. Diversity and inclusion: It’s not just a NICE-to-have!
