Voting for the best and most approachable postman or post office operator is still open until the 31st of January

This is already the ninth time that Latvijas Pasts has launched the traditional contest Mans Pastnieks (My Postman) to identify and pay tribute to the postman and the post office operator from each region who has been recognised as the most helpful, communicative and approachable by the customers. To nominate their best postal employee, all customers can submit the contest questionnaire online at http://anketa.pasts.lv/ by the 31st of January 2020 or send the post-paid questionnaire by post: the printed questionnaires were inserted into all the newspaper and magazine subscription catalogues for 2020 that were delivered free of charge to the subscribers’ letter-boxes in October 2019.

Latvijas Pasts has already received several thousands of the questionnaires for the best postal employee filled by customers: most of them have still been received by post; however significant activity of the population can also be observed online through the website of Latvijas Pasts http://anketa.pasts.lv/.  

The questionnaire is a tool for evaluating the professional qualities of the postmen and post office workers – their helpfulness, communication skills, responsibility towards the work carried out, accuracy and knowledge of the services provided. 

This is the ninth time that Latvijas Pasts is holding the contest My Postman to give customers an opportunity to say thank you to any of the nearly 3,000 postmen and post office workers of the company – thanks to them postal items are delivered to any address throughout the country to the letter-boxes of the addressees, by hand and to offices every working day.

The best postman and post office operator of 2019 will be identified within the contest My Postman in each region of Latvia: Latgale, Kurzeme, Vidzeme, Zemgale and Riga. The postmen and post office operators with the highest assessment rates given by the residents will receive valuable prizes from Latvijas Pasts.

Last October the printed questionnaires for the contest My Postman 2019 were sent out together with the free newspaper and magazine subscription catalogues of Latvijas Pasts for 2020 and placed into the letter-boxes of the customers who have subscribed to any periodicals during the last two years. The filled questionnaires should be dropped in any Latvijas Pasts letter-box or dropped off at a post office by the 31st of January. The questionnaires are post-paid. The contest questionnaire may also be filled in and sent online until the mentioned deadline here.

A total of 1,686 Latvijas Pasts postmen and post office operators were proposed for the best employee nomination within the contest My Postman 2018 organised by Latvijas Pasts and more than 8,500 customers’ questionnaires were received for them.
