Making Connections

Logistics is truly a team effort and here at Dynamic Connections, we have a team that works on the other side of the world to ensure every customer interaction is best in class.

Introducing our high-powered Virtual Assistant (VA) team!

Though the distance might be great, the impact is mighty! We genuinely consider all our VAs part of the Greenteam as they contribute across multiple groups and truly work very cross-functionally. 

 You might ask…how do we all work together remotely?

 On each of our core teams Bravo, Delta, Echo and Zulu, Boomer (Cannabis) and Boomer Fresh (Produce)- we have dedicated VAs just for that team.  These VAs are subject matter experts with the customer base and the sector/vertical where each of those teams operate. Our VAs assist with logistics tracking, tracing and coordinating.  They also undertake quality assurance and a host of other tasks.  

Our tracing coordinators are on the front lines, playing an essential role in supporting everyone at Dynamic Connections and more importantly, our customers. Their dedication and hard work are key to our success. Most of the VAs work in EST but might start a little earlier than their core team, so this allows us to get a jump on the day and ensure that customers have a point of contact early in the morning; this also allows us to triage any issues, so the teams are set up for success every day. 

We also have VAs on our Finance Team where they deal with accounts payable, receivable and other backend finance operations.  They connect and meet daily with our finance folks ensuring that we can scale operations and manage our diverse portfolio of accounts. 

Currently, we have a mighty team of 19 VAs! Some of the team have been with us as long as 3 or 4 years, and others have joined us this year in our period of high growth. All of our VAs are located throughout the Philippines and others in Metro Manila. Given the VA Team’s distributed locations, we try to ensure they can team build amongst themselves, as well.

We often hire new VAs throughout the year, so we want to ensure they all have strong cohesion on their respective team as much as we have on ours. We support the VA Team in throwing their own holiday party on an annual basis. This year they planned an online gaming event and celebrated with a meal. Our VAs join all our daily and weekly meetings; they have really helped create our online culture with distributed team members across Canada and the US. They eagerly contribute to our engaging Teams chats with photos, emojis and GIFs which is a big part of our culture here at Dynamic Connections.

Thank you to the VA Team of all that you do!

Here at Dynamic Connections, giving back is very important to us.  We have an ongoing commitment to our community, and we often try to contribute in ways great and small to local organizations.  This year marked our 8^th Annual Holiday Delivery.  This is an initiative we run with a partner organization Media Resources International (MRI) where we collect toys, food and gently used clothes.  As in previous years, we partnered with the Oakville Firehall who work with multiple charitable organizations to deliver these goods to those most in need. 

Our goal this year was 150 toys and 500 items of food.  We smashed the toy goal at 330 items and nearly met our food goal at 338 items.  The response from our team was phenomenal.  We also asked our customers for donations which helped deliver on our goal.  Truly the mark of great partnerships! A wonderful effort by everyone and truly something to be proud of.  

At Dynamic Connections, we like to celebrate our team and their hard work with monthly team building events.  This month, we decided that volunteering would be the best way to spend our time.  We gathered in a group at the Oakville Firehall and sorted toys for the morning. It was great to see giving in action and contribute to the fruits of our Holiday Delivery efforts.  We plan to make this an annual effort with volunteering so our efforts can create even more impact in our local community.  Roll on, 2025!

At Dynamic Connections, we pride ourselves on giving back to our community. We’re officially kicking off our 8^th Annual Dynamic Connections Holiday Delivery, and we need your help!

Food banks have seen a record high engagement; Did you know that food bank use has increased 90% since 2019?

 This year, we’re looking to beat our own record, and donate more food items and toys than we ever have before!

 We are aiming to collect 150 toys, and 500 pieces of food items for local food banks and charities.  Once again, we will be partnering with the Oakville Fire Hall. 

 Here is a list of food and personal hygiene products that are in highest demand through local food banks:

 Did you know that children aged 13-16 are the most overlooked in charity drives? Though toys for children of all ages are appreciated, we’re also hoping to collect items such as makeup, bath and body products, hair products and accessories, fun socks and stationery.

 Your generosity is welcome and greatly appreciated!

Last month, our Dynamic Connections family grew a little bigger. We’re happy and honoured to officially welcome Christian + Carson and the return of Abe to DCHQ. Lead by Zack Mulvale, they form Team BOOMER. And we couldn’t be more excited!

 Shoutout to our very own Allie Oyler for sneaking in on a Sunday to surprise Team Boomer with some celebration balloons, desk supplies + treats as well as some custom crochet creations.

We got extra spooky this Halloween at DCHQ. Our creative DC team members came dressed as Minions and Mavericks, Ghostbusters and golf players, angels and devils and a spot-on Spider Man.

 But after our sugar-crash came the hard part: Picking the best costume. This was so difficult for us, in fact, that we couldn’t settle on just one costume, so we picked two winners.

Congratulations to Ryan, who gave us all a great laugh with his ridiculously convincing Ned Flanders, and Meenakshi, who blew us all away as Harley Quinn!

Nothing brings us together like food does. With so many new staff members celebrating their first Thanksgiving as part of the Dynamic Connections family, we threw a plentiful potluck to celebrate the harvest.

With the anticipation of a long-weekend full of turkey, stuffing and mashed-potatoes, we took a different route for our DC Family potluck. Instead, we were lavished with savory samosas, spicy tofu & rice, warm dips, fluffy breads, meatballs and some melt-in-your-mouth rose gnocchi.

To ensure that their dishes stayed warm, many of our thoughtful team members brought their slow cookers and Instant Pots to ensure that their delicious contributions stayed warm until lunch. What a great idea!

It was wonderful to sit together and express gratitude for all the wonderful things that blessed us this year.

Our carrier partners know that there’s a one-way road straight to our hearts, and it’s through our bellies. On a hot September afternoon, one of our trusted carriers blessed us with a visit from an ice cream truck. One-by-one we all lined up and ordered our favourite cold treats. From dipped cones to snow cones, popsicles and slushies, we were grateful to take a moment and relax together while we enjoyed our ice cream.

But not too fast! Ouch, ice cream headache!
