EMPLOYER TESTIMONIAL

“Happy and motivated employees will perform better”

Through our partnership with Sweet Spot, we are able to offer our people something extra that is much needed in the current market place. This investment in our people has already paid off in numerous ways:

It makes us an attractive company to apply and work for.
It allows us to respond to the increasing demand to work from abroad in a safe way, with Sweet Spot’s high quality workplaces and local support in case of problems.
With Sweet Spot’s focus on development and networking, our employees have come back with an increased skill set and an expanded network.

Many re-energized, rested, motivated and happy employees have already returned from Barcelona with Sweet Spot. I can’t recommend their service enough!

“Do you ever get out of your bubble to look at your life from a helicopter view? Are you happy with the people around you? Is something or someone missing? How do you feel during work? Does your home still feel like a home? How often do we rumble through life without thinking about these essential questions. Letting go helps. It creates room for growth. I did that in Barcelona. Live and work in another city for a month!”

"Sweet Spot offers co-working spaces and accommodation in a prime location in Barcelona, which assured my employer that I could work without distractions. It was also very valuable for me that Sweet Spot offered a Development Track (Insight & Growth Track) and matched me with a group of 9 like-minded people who would leave for Barcelona at the same time."

Work a month from Barcelona?! I can tell you: it feels a little like taking a holiday, while you are working your regular hours! Everything is arranged for you by Sweet Spot Abroad: an apartment, a good workplace and all kinds of fun activities are being organised. My great employer Salves has taken care of this for me, but there are also possibilities if your employee does not want to provide this for you.

To me, Sweet Spot is the perfect mix of fun and professionality. I got more out of my time here because I could share my experiences with the Sweet Spot group; The co-work had a relaxed vibe and I was surprised how easy it is to have a good work focus there; and the Leadership training for me opened my eyes how to further develop my skills in that direction

I’m really glad I took this opportunity to work and live in Barcelona. It was a completely distinct experience from working from home or your own familiar office setting. Enjoy exploring a new city, while simultaneously working on your personal development! My main take away from this trip is that working in a completely new environment challenges you and provides you with an energy boost.. I’m eager to try this again in the near future! Who knows what my next stop will be. Cape Town maybe?

"The past years I have found it difficult and felt lonely working at home. A while ago I decided to look for a new adventure and make use of the possibilities and flexibilities that come with remote working. I took my job to Cape Town, South Africa, for four weeks with Sweet Spot Abroad. This is one of the better choices I have made in ages, without a doubt. I am super grateful and happy with all the beautiful experiences and people that I got to know."

“Just at the right time, I came across Sweet Spot Abroad. I was able to continue my work for Otrium during normal working hours in a beautiful and functional co-working office near the Sagrada de Familia. The change of scenery was completed. In the evenings and weekends I had the opportunity to discover Barcelona together with a group of professionals who also participated in the program. This gave me a huge motivation boost, during which I worked even harder during the day to complete my work efficiently.”

"The Learn & Share lunch sessions are a perfect way to get to know the other participants and to get an insight in their skills and what they do every day. It's a great way to expand your network. Spending time with a group of people with different backgrounds and experiences has allowed me to be more open minded. The group discussions during the training sessions were really valuable, because they provided me with new insights, both professionally and personally. The fact that my employer trusts me to do my job wherever I want, gave me an amazing sense of freedom and confidence. It gave me a boost to do an even better job and be more productive."

For me, this experience came at just the right time. I missed some adventure in my life, there was simply too much routine. In these situations I know from experience that I have to shake things up and get out of my comfort zone. I sincerely feel that I have developed both personally and professionally over the past 2 months. Professionally, the management training helped me to get more insights into my management style and how to adapt to difficult conversations/situations as a manager. And personally I think that I have gained as much valuable insights into myself by reflecting on how you act in a new environment and a new group of people.
