“Treat others as you want to be treated”

As we enter Inter Faith Week 2024 there is no better sentiment to carry through in all you do.

Shared values like this guide us towards better understanding and respect for each other inclusive, not regardless, of faith.

For the non-religious, the golden rule is passed down through word of mouth.

In Christianity, “Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.” (Luke 6:31)

In Islam, “None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.” (Hadith)

In Judaism, “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour” (Talmud)

In Hinduism, “This is the sum of the duty: Do naught unto others which would cause you pain if done to you.”(Mahabharata)

In Buddhism, “Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.” (Udanavarge 5:18)

In Gekko, “Yes! We can… help you with anything.”

Some days it isn’t easy to reflect this in our lives and work, but demonstrating kindness can help us to reach new heights of understanding and collaboration.

Today, we remember and honour all those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. We stand together in gratitude for their courage and bravery. Lest we forget. 🌹

In this series of posts, we would like to give those of you considering a role at Gekko Group a flavour of . What it’s like to work here, what we have to offer and why Gekko can be a great career choice is best said by some of the people we’re proud to have on the team…
First up is Alex one of our Account Directors who has progressed through several roles since he first joined us over five years ago. This is his story:

I joined Gekko back in 2018 as a Field Based Contact Centre Trainer. Two years later I had a temporary break with another business before being lured back to Gekko in 2021 on a temporary contract as a Market Manager to cover maternity leave. A few months into the Market Manager role, the opportunity to transfer to my old position as a Contact Centre Manager came up and I was successful. Six months later I was promoted to Regional Sales Manager and then following this I was promoted again to National Sales Manager. Shifting to the present day, I have recently taken on a new role based at Gekko HQ as one of the client Account Directors. This transition from field to office has been amazing and it has been made an easy one thanks to the very open and friendly onboarding and cross-team engagement.

This continuous career progression and professional growth opportunities have been one of the main highlights of my time at Gekko. Gekko has always encouraged my personal development through training and development, and this support has helped me advance in my roles over the years.

Since working at Gekko, my managers and trainers have immersed me in client engagement and reporting, strengthening my experience and making my transitions easier. There’s been plenty of opportunities for growth and progression which is why I highly recommend Gekko as a company to work for.

Q: What makes Gekko a great place to work?

Firstly the people you work with. With such a diverse and experienced creative team, it is a joy to come to work. Opportunities for growth, development and movement are excellent across the accounts and brands that we work with.
