Christmas with the Sentinel family

Christmas is all about spending time with the family – and at Sentinel Homes, that doesn’t just mean relatives. Part of what makes our company so unique is our strong shared values, and the silly season lets us spend some time on our work relationships.

‍

Each franchise celebrates the season with their own special team event, and the owners take some time to bond as well. This year, we’re looking forward to a couple of nights in Matakana, with a trip to Kawau Island, BBQs, drinks, and plenty of time to chat.

It’s fun, but it’s also important to our business. Just like a family, we learn from each other, share opinions, and enjoy spending time together. That strong foundation makes it easier to resolve the odd conflict that comes up during the year. That’s good for us as business people and it’s good for our customers too.

And don’t worry – everyone on the team gets plenty of time to spend with their actual relations too.
