Since late 2021, Oddsgate has played an active role in redefining the parameters of the online gaming market. The company combines a complete and innovative platform with an ongoing commitment to its partners and collaborators.
Along this path, it now celebrates another major milestone: the title of second place as Best Workplace, that is, best place to work in Portugal.
After the first selection stage carried out by Great Place to Work - a renowned auditing and organizational culture company - the 100 classified companies are ranked and, according to their results, the first 50 are again honored, with a new Best Workplaces seal.
This recognition is based on a global methodology, applied for more than 30 years, which mainly considers the perception of employees, through their voluntary and anonymous response to a questionnaire (Trust Index©).
For Oddsgate's general HR director, Nuno Jerónimo, “this certification will help reinforce our values, respect for our employees and recognition for the organization's way of working. There is also the expectation that the certification will make people curious about the good work that is done here. And this can also help us to continue recruiting good and excellent people. And once they’re here, they won’t want to leave.”
Oddsgate's fundamental value is dedication to the employee experience from the beginning and now this is reflected in recognition, highlighting the positive perception of those who are part of the team, as Jerónimo indicates: “we were very happy to receive this recognition from a world-renowned company in this area of organizational culture and, of course, also from our employees."
“We went to this company with the aim of identifying our strengths and opportunities for improvement, because we are still a young company and we know that the improvement process is continuous. This great result surprised us positively, which shows us that we are on the right path. But the most important thing is to know that people here feel heard, respected, valued and generally feel good within the organization, because they are the most valuable thing we have.
The company seeks to promote the development of a solid foundation; organic growth; corporate social responsibility and a friendly environment conducive to innovation, collaboration and employee growth. This is how Oddsgate established a distinct working method that conveys the necessary confidence to current employees and those who will arrive.”
Such directions will also be valid for the growth of the company that intends to expand and open new offices in other important countries, such as Brazil and Romania.
Mário Silva, co-founder of Oddsgate, believes in two main factors for success: a pleasant and relaxed environment and good recruitment. As he points out, “our aim has always been to create a very positive corporate environment. We think about everything from the structure of the company, to hiring people, to treats to make people’s days more relaxed and light."
"Our mood is to offer good, direct communication and this starts with us, partners. We all get along very well, we have known each other for many years and we want the teams to have that same dynamic. So it all starts with the care we take when recruiting.
We know that our main asset is people, and for this reason, we seek, above all, that the people who make up our team are good people and good people, which is different. And we always look for a team that shares our values, because if that aspect is well aligned, the rest is easy. And today this achievement of second place is theirs. We strive to provide conditions for people to work, but the result of all this is not ours, it belongs to the team.”
Although this is Oddsgate's first time selecting the best companies to work for in Portugal, Jerónimo assures that he has plans to maintain good practices, attract and retain the best talent and make the team increasingly closer, with social responsibility actions and team building, sharing success among everyone.
