The most reliable, knowledgeable and helpful postmen and post office operators of 2021 in each Latvian region have been selected in the customers’ voting during the contest Mans Pastnieks (My Postman) organised by Latvijas Pasts. A total of 820 Latvijas Pasts postmen and post office operators were proposed for either of the nominations and 11,394 residents’ questionnaires were received for them. More than half of the questionnaires were filled in by the customers online. In the questionnaires the customers emphasised both the professional abilities of the employees and their human qualities, thanking those postmen and post office operators who carry out their duties with great responsibility, diligence and sincerity.
This was the 11th time that Latvijas Pasts invited customers to vote for the best postman and post office operator in each region of Latvia through a questionnaire. Approximately 2,200 representatives of these occupations work at Latvijas Pasts – they are always highly valued, but even more so in the conditions of COVID-19, as the employees had to work particularly hard to provide all the necessary services. Postmen are most appreciated by senior citizens in rural areas, as the postman is often the only link to the outside world.
Based on the customers’ opinion, the following employees have been chosen as the best ones in the postmen competition: Marija Ivanova from Galēni post office, Preiļi Municipality in the Latgale region, Agnija Folkmane from Valdemārpils post office, Talsi Municipality in the Kurzeme region, Marija Broka from Varakļāni post office in the Vidzeme region, Liene Intlere from Dobele post office No. 1 in the Zemgale region and Zanda Lāce from Sigulda post office in the Riga region.
In turn, the title of the best post office operator, as voted by the customers, has been awarded to: Sarmīte Butlere from Kārsava post office, Ludza Municipality in the Latgale region, Dace Seļivānova from Liepāja post office No. 16 in the Kurzeme region, Agita Buša from Cesvaine post office, Madona Municipality in the Vidzeme region, Gunita Tomsone from Vecumnieki post office, Bauska Municipality in the Zemgale region and Marita Lulle from Riga post office No. 83 in the Riga region.
Mārcis Vilcāns, Chairman of the Board of Latvijas Pasts: “I would like to thank every employee of Latvijas Pasts for their work and efforts during this very complicated period. The past year was even more challenging for our employees, as the spread of COVID-19 continued to have a significant impact on the company’s operations and our employees had to be both imaginative and agile to provide all the necessary services to our customers. Thanks also go to our customers for taking the time to vote for the best postal employee – your assessment as feedback regarding our work is very important to Latvijas Pasts. I am sincerely pleased with the high activity of our customers, voting for our best employees!”
The postmen and post office operators with the highest assessment rates given by the customers will receive valuable prizes from Latvijas Pasts.
This was the 11th time that Latvijas Pasts called on residents to assess the best postman and post office operator of each region, highlighting their professional abilities and saying thank you for their good work. At the beginning of October 2021 the questionnaires for the contest My Postman were sent out together with the Newspaper and Magazine Subscription Catalogues for 2022, and it was also possible to fill them in online at http://anketa.pasts.lv/. Using the questionnaires, the customers could vote for the best postal employee until the 31st of January 2022.
