For TOKTWD I accompanied my dad at his work place, which is actually in my house. Since my dad works from home. To start the day we had some breakfast, my dad usually starts at 8:00am or earlier (as required). He works 7-8 hours per day for 5 days. Then we went to his office space which felt like a workplace but at the same time like home. My dad told me about his company and tasks he performs daily, like replying to client emails, communication with team and resolving complaints from customers. He is the CEO of Medicy Wellness Services and the aim of the company is to provide a Health/Wellness platform and build a Web App for pharmacies, healthcare organizations and patients to improve healthcare system.
He explained to me how the platform works, how to take client requirements and they ways to incorporate the same in the platform. After that I took a break because my dad had some thing to do so I ate some snacks and finished some homework.
After I came back, he showed me his work and then we also discussed on how to mange customers and clients, on how to write professional emails and positive communication.
Over all it was a good experience and my dad wasn’t that busy, the most important takeaway I took from the overview was how advancements in Technologies can impact the day to day lives of a common person.
