This is the tenth 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 of Latvia who has been recognised as the most reliable, knowledgeable and helpful by the customers. The contest questionnaires can be filled in and submitted online at http://anketa.pasts.lv/, while post-paid questionnaires that should be filled in by hand and sent to Latvijas Pasts have been inserted into all the Newspaper and Magazine Subscription Catalogues 2020 delivered free of charge to the subscribers’ letter-boxes. The deadline for submitting the questionnaires is the 31st of January 2021.
Latvijas Pasts is one of the largest Latvian companies in terms of the number of employees, and it employs around 3,200 people. The most substantial share – more than 2,300 employees – is made up of postmen and post office employees who are in the closest contact with the population, providing service across Latvia and delivering postal items to any address throughout the country.
The occupations of a postman and a post office operator are particularly appreciated in the countryside as the employees are also helpful and forthcoming outside their immediate job duties, oftentimes supporting with advice or practical help those who struggle to care for themselves.
In order to express appreciation and say thanks to the employees of the postal sector for the good work, Latvijas Pasts for the tenth time invites customers to fill in a questionnaire to assess the professional qualities of postmen and post office workers – knowledge, responsibility towards the work carried out, accuracy, reliability, communication skills and helpfulness.
The best postman and post office operator of 2020 will be identified within the contest My Postman in each region of Latvia: Kurzeme, Latgale, 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.
At the beginning of October the printed questionnaires for the contest My Postman were sent out together with the Newspaper and Magazine Subscription Catalogues 2021, which were delivered free of charge to 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 2021. The questionnaires are post-paid. Latvijas Pasts has already received nearly 1,500 completed questionnaires from the customers. The contest questionnaire may be filled in and sent online until the mentioned deadline here.
A total of 1,610 Latvijas Pasts postmen and post office operators were proposed for the best employee nomination within the contest My Postman 2019 organised by Latvijas Pasts and more than 11,000 customers’ questionnaires were received for them.
