A "completely normal day" at secova

At secova, we like to do things a little differently than the others. We rely on innovative solutions and the latest technologies, not just for our sam® online software system. We frequently explore new ways of working together and collaborating within Team secova. However, the guiding principle for our daily thoughts and actions remains constant: Our jointly defined values (such as “open, honest, passionate, human, pragmatic…”), to which we all consistently adhere! We treat each other as equals, and everyone is allowed to be who they want to be. The ideal environment also includes ergonomically well-equipped, adjustable workstations, along with numerous benefits. At our place, we regularly provide fresh fruit, a weekly sports and relaxation course, a monthly physiotherapy home visit, and various “play areas” – from table football to laser tag.

Individual well-being and mutual respect are equally important to us. We collaborate with joy and continuously try out new things – true to one of our mottos: “Just get started!” And this is what a “normal day” at secova can look like: For the first half of the day, we had invited people to our internal “AI Day”. Garnished with guest lectures, the focus was on the latest trends and developments relating to the highly topical subject of “artificial intelligence”. We asked ourselves which technologies and solutions could also support us and our customers in their day-to-day work. After so much “mental work”, the body was then activated – with an afternoon “canoe and dragon boat tour” on the Ems. The teams, which varied in size depending on the type of boat, had to manage to keep their boat on track together – a team-building exercise that was a lot of fun for everyone.

However, during such a cheerful gathering, we also wanted to think of those who were literally up to their necks (and beyond) at that time.”Emergency aid Ukraine” from the “Aktion Deutschland hilft” campaign. And so our “AI and canoe day” also became a “secova helps day”.

Even if not every day is like the one described here: “Quite normal” – or simply “typical secova” and still special each time – the actions described are already normal for us. Because we always want to take a different, new and unconventional approach to things. This enables us to creatively develop our working methods and ultimately our sam® solution system for our customers, as well as ourselves personally. In addition, we try to stay active and in shape, not just mentally. In addition to our sports and relaxation courses plus workshops, we have had our“active month of May” for many years, during which we run, walk, hike or bike. Our aim is to collect as many kilometers as possible. This is because they are ultimately converted into donation euros and also handed over to charitable organizations. For us, all of this is the “secova spirit” or – right! – quite normal…
