Rolling sand dunes as far as the eye can see, one of the largest concentration of bushmen rock art, diverse cultures, and luxury game reserves! Namibia certainly offers the avid traveler a range of activities and adventure.
During the Covid pandemic Mindpearl officially launched a Work from Home (WFH) model in Namibia which, through growing client demand has provided the opportunity for German linguists to join the Mindpearl team, whilst Mindpearl maintain a competitive market edge through ensuring our quality of linguists are maintained.
Why Namibia?
Culture and Language
Historical events have led to a strong presence of German culture and language in Namibia today. Certain educational institutions provide schooling in German only, while others offer it as a second language, providing all communities with the opportunity to learn a European language, which may provide for broader job prospects. Mindpearl is leveraging this pool of fluent German linguists.
Exchange Rate
Namibia is on the border of South Africa, and with the strong ties between the two countries, pegging of the NAD to the ZAR helps maintain stability in the Namibian economy by reducing exchange rate fluctuations and facilitating trade and investment.
Infrastructure and Work from Home model
The Covid 19 pandemic changed the way in which many businesses operate, with the WFH model being utilised across the globe in many industries. Although operations have normalised, Mindpearl are strategically utilising the WFH model in Namibia, which has a developed telecommunication infrastructure and ensures our Namibian Mindpearl colleagues have everything they need to continue effective service delivery.
Since inception of the WFH model across Mindpearl locations, productivity levels for WFH have proved at minimum to be as successful as our onsite models. As part of the employee learning journey, Mindpearl incorporated a WFH training module, with strong emphasis on self-management and accountability, ensuring understanding that performance management is addressed consistently whether you WFH or onsite. Regular performance feedback and coaching, team check-ins and meetings with line managers guarantee a supportive environment and maintain qualitative outcomes.
Mindpearl Lima opened its doors in July 2019 to strengthen our service provision from within the Latin American markets with a highly-skilled workforce of native level Spanish and Portuguese linguists. Mindpearl Lima commenced with an initial staff complement of 20 and have expanded to over 50 employees.
Lima offers Spanish and Portuguese skills in abundance and further reinforces the 25+ language offering within the Mindpearl network.
Building on the success of Mindpearl’s existing locations, Mindpearl is confident in replicating this success in South America. Mindpearl remain committed to providing clients with best in class service whilst pushing the boundaries of convention to deliver the ultimate brand experience.
A welcoming working environment, competitive salaries and employee development opportunities remain some of Mindpearl’s compelling selling propositions.
