Marcia Sequeira, Country Manager, Trend Micro

“As a global company, Trend Micro has employees from almost every country represented in the World Cup, and so of course we encourage our employees to come together and watch – after all it only comes around every four years! Trenders (what we call ourselves) are passionate about soccer and often make time to watch at work; most offices are equipped with televisions/digital screens in the breakroom or lunchroom and it can get rowdy depending on the game! Coming together like this is a great opportunity to get to know your colleagues, especially from different departments. In Canada we have four offices – Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Calgary – and so this helps fuel team-building, collaboration and friendly competition! Overall, Trend Micro believes in working hard, but also finding that balance and enjoying your time at work.”
