Press release, 19 November 2020
Verkkokauppa.com is rewarding its staff with bonuses to recognize their resilience and success during the exceptional year shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The pandemic has made this an exceptional year, demanding a lot from everyone. We want to recognize every employee for going the extra mile,” says Verkkokauppa.com CEO Panu Porkka.
These exceptional times have impacted the daily work of our staff in both our stores and online operations.
“Since the spring, our store staff have implemented safety measures to ensure the safest possible shopping experience. This has required incredible diligence from everyone. At the same time, online traffic has surged as the pandemic accelerated the shift to e-commerce, and we have focused heavily on site performance. Every single person at Verkkokauppa.com deserves thanks – this is a team effort, and everyone's contribution has been invaluable,” Porkka concludes.
According to Porkka, the year has been both impactful and challenging in many ways, with employees playing a key role in the company's success.
“At the heart of the retail revolution, we have continuously evolved and expanded our operations this year. No one can predict the future, and Verkkokauppa.com has done its best to navigate the retail storm. However, none of this year's achievements would have been possible without our resilient employees – which is why this recognition is so well-deserved,” says Porkka.
