Convergint’s affinity group for women, Convergint Women Connect, aims to evolve Convergint’s culture through advocacy, education, community, and visibility. Their mission is to make Convergint the most equitable and inclusive global service provider for women of all identities and backgrounds. Through visibility, CWC’s goal is to foster an environment that lifts underrepresented voices within Convergint and the industry through initiatives focused on recognition and networking. To recognize and celebrate women across Convergint Nation, Convergint Women Connect has created the Daily Difference Award.

The Daily Difference Award is a peer-nominated recognition award given to women at Convergint who make a daily difference by representing one of the company’s most deeply-held Values and Beliefs: I have integrity–it’s what I do when no one’s watching.

This quarter, Monica Sanchez was one of three Daily Difference Award recipients, nominated by her colleagues for her outstanding work ethic and always going the extra mile to get things done while having a smile on her face. Read the interview below where Monica discusses her career at Convergint, and how she acts as an inspiration for her colleagues as she works hard each and every day.

“Monica is the type of person that brings a smile to everyone’s face here in the office. She does everything she is asked to do with a smile and a kind heart. The value, integrity, and determination she brings to her job is a reflection of the type of person she is.”

Tell us a little bit about your career with Convergint.

I have been with Convergint since May of 2018. I began as an admin in the operations department. When I started, we had around 40 colleagues, and my responsibilities included managing our fleet and overseeing the Everbridge system. I also worked with the legal department to submit contracts, handled job bookings, and assisted with various office tasks. Currently, our CTC location has grown to have over 100 colleagues!

You won the Daily Difference Award based on your ongoing commitment to Convergint’s V&B: I have integrity–it’s what I do when no one’s watching. What does this value mean to you?

I’m a self-motivated individual who takes initiative and operates with integrity. When there are tasks that need to be completed or when people reach out for assistance, I proactively address them, always ensuring that I uphold the highest standards of honesty and ethical conduct. I prioritize staying ahead and not falling behind, so I’m someone who remains focused and on top of tasks while maintaining my commitment to integrity.

What has been your greatest accomplishment to date in your career?

I would say my greatest accomplishment to date has truly been the relationships I’ve built here at work. I make an effort to connect with every person in every department, and I’ve become the go-to person in the office. When someone needs assistance, they often say, “Go ask Monica.” So, I believe that building strong relationships with all my colleagues is a significant accomplishment that I’m proud of.

What is your secret to making a daily difference?

The way I make a daily difference is that I genuinely enjoy coming to work with a positive attitude. I make it a point to greet and engage with everyone I come across, whether it’s a simple “hi” or “good morning.” I believe in the importance of acknowledging and connecting with my colleagues because I’ve experienced how the atmosphere in the office can change when simple greetings are missing, and I want to foster a welcoming and friendly work environment by saying hi to everybody I meet!
