NEWSLETTER
Hello ETECH! Welcome to our August newsletter!
Being a positive influence is a character commitment that every leader should be required
to make. Not only will being positive have a productive impact on your company but there
are personal benefits to be gained as well. There have been many studies done on the
power of positive thought and the conclusions drawn show that positive thinking has been
proven to reduce stress, help people live longer, improve one’s overall well-being and
enable people to better cope with the anxieties of this world.
Many people understand the benefits of being positive; the real challenge is the execution! I have often been asked, “How can I remain positive especially when others around me are so negative?” I have
recently read several articles and books on positive thinking. There were several common strategies that
these articles contained that I wanted to share with you below. I have tried many of these in my own life
and they work!
Admit you are negative! The first step to overcoming any problem in life is to admit that there is a problem. Whether it is gossiping about a fellow team member, or complaining about a comp plan, or believing
that you can’t achieve something … these attitudes all contribute to a non-healthy situation.
Avoid Negative Influences.
This includes the following:
• “Friends” or fellow team members who are always complaining. You don’t have to look very far or
hard to find these people. Fire them from your life!!
• The news….Murder, war, rape, fiscal deficits, rising gas prices… During my recent recovery from back
surgery, I had much time to watch a lot of Fox News. How discouraging! If you need your daily news
fix, then turn to resources such as www.happynews.com or www.goodnewsblog.com.
Surround yourself with positive people!
I love hanging around people with positive people. Why? Because after interacting with them I always
feel better. Their positive nature is contagious! Their smile alone energizes me!
Saturate yourself with positive books, quotes, e-newsletters and music.
You can never have enough positive influence in your life! Commit to being a lifelong learner and make
sure part of that learning is focused in this area.
Take care of yourself!
Eat healthy, eliminate soda from your diet and drink lots of water, exercise, and stop smoking! The better you feel about yourself, the more positive you will feel. The more positive you feel, the better you
will take care of yourself. Try it!
Form a relationship with God.
Pray, meditate, have a conversation, seek Him. We live in a fallen world but God has created each of
us for His purpose. The closer you draw to Him, the clearer His purpose for your life becomes. There is
nothing more positive that I have experienced in my life then when I finally realized and accepted the
fact that God had a purpose for me.

Be a positive influencer by serving others!
There is no greater reward that I have ever experienced than helping someone in need. As you incorporate the 6 strategies above into your own life, you will want to share your new found positive thinking
with others. Serve them well!
Wow, these are some great reminders and ideas that can really make a difference in your life and Etech
as a whole. What if each of us committed to embracing these 7 strategies each day? Can you imagine
the remarkable difference that would be made with us, our customers, our teams and our communities?
I can!!
Thank you all for everything that you do to make ETECH a great place to work and play. I promise you
that I will choose to be a positive influence each and every day. Together we can make the world a better place, one day … one conversation … one action at a time.
Until next month, may God bless each of you and may He continue to watch over our company. Have a
great day!

What’s a Pencil War?
Nacogdoches had a Back to School Pencil War to collect pencils for the children in need. Employees who
turned in pencils received a chance in the drawing for a $25 gift card. The gift card winner was Joyce
Beighey of Facilities. Employees could vote for one of 3 leaders by putting their pencils in the box for
that particular leader. The competitors were Josh Robinson of CenturyLink with a total of 51 pencils,
Ben Johnson with 176 pencils, and the winner with 292 pencils collected was David Carrizales, Director of Operations. A team of 5 employees, representing 5 different campaigns in the Nacogdoches
Center, sprayed David with Silly String to celebrate! (And we even provided safety glasses.) What a great
sport David was, all for a good cause. Thanks to the generosity of Etech employees, a total of 519
pencils were collected which will be donated to the Solid Foundation, a non-profit group who provides
tutoring and support to school-age children in the Nacogdoches area.

Connecting School with Work
NEWSLETTER
On July 29th, 34 local high
school students descended
on the Nacogdoches Center
to participate in the Gear
Up program. This program,
funded through grants from
the U.S. Department of
Education and in cooperation with Stephen F. Austin State University, aims to prepare students for the workplace and assist
in their success after high school. Students participated in job
shadowing with many Etech leaders and administrative staff
so they could see how knowledge and skills from school apply
at work, what different jobs are all about, and get a glimpse
“behind the scenes”.
While we know this was beneficial for the students, here are
some of the comments that Etech leaders also had to say about
the experience: “My student asked great questions that showed
she was thinking.” “The students were polite and seemed quite
interested.” “Before this experience, some of the kids didn’t
understand what Etech was all about.” “I think it made the students happy to know that business professionals cared enough
to share insight about the different jobs.”
Tuition Reimbursement
On August 6, Nacogdoches had 13 employees who received tuition reimbursement checks totaling almost
$12,000! These are just a few of the many employees in all our centers who have participated over the
years. In total, the company has distributed $847,000 since the tuition reimbursement program began.
Congratulations to the current recipients from Nacogdoches for the Spring semester:

Everyone knows with summer comes many great activities, among those are carnivals, fairs and amusement parks. We here in Huntington decided to bring some of the excitement to our team. We have

Great Summer Reads
Here in Huntington we
have several people who
enjoy a good book. So we
have done some research
and found some really
great choices. These include “The Matchmaker”
by Elin Hilderbrand, “Before the Flock” by David
Inglis and “China Dolls” by
Lisa See.
We all know that there are many things that
can cause us stress, as a part of our Health and
Wellness Board we posted several stress reducing
tips. Some of these may be as simple as reading a
magazine, taking a nap or singing a song.

ETECH live art auction nets more than $300 for school
supply drive
A local artist is using his talents for good. Blake Bean, an ETECH employee, donated several of his handmade, one-of-a-kind paintings to the first ever ETECH live art auction Friday afternoon.
The art is truly unique because he even makes the canvas out of blankets, sand, and glue.
The auction raised more than $300, and all of the money is going toward a good cause.
“One of our agents, Mr. Blake Bean, donated six of his hand-crafted art pieces that we auctioned off, and
those proceeds are going to go to our back to school supply drive so everything that we have sold today is
going to help us go out and buy supplies,” said Alana Culpepper, ETECH human resources manager.
If you missed the auction but would like to donate, you still can. You can make donations or drop off
school supplies at ETECH just ask for Alana.

The new way to bid goodbye to the scorching heat was a Mocktail Competition. When the audience gets
to see and taste these non-alcoholic refreshment drinks made from scratch by Etech employees trying to
compete with each other to make the best drink, you can imagine the level of excitement among them.
The competition was tough in this mix-ology challenge! The Judges Divya Barot, HR and Admin and
Rashmin Barot, Assistant Director – IT gave away the top 3 prizes for the drinks they found the most
innovative and intriguing. Anu Antony & Felcy Lourdswamy bagged the first prize for their interesting
Tornado Twist, Rahul Gangwani & Ami Patel came in a close second with their delicious Snake Bite, and
Vishwa Mehta & Miral Sarvarkar were at the third place with their mild Peach Blush. All the winners were
given a chance to serve their recipes at the Work Life Balance counter. The teams earned a handsome
profit which was donated to a charity in the name of Mother Teresa in Ahmedabad.
Happy Birthday, AT&T Biz!
This August, AT&T 22-States Business C2C completed 4 years with Etech. Over the last 4 years the team
has shown drastic improvement in efficiency which has impressed AT&T as well as the LivePerson clients.
One of the major KPIs for the process is Willingness to Recommend %, and according to LivePerson, the
WTR% that our team delivers every month is higher than any other AT&T Residential and Wireless chat
accounts that LivePerson handles through other contact centers.
The anniversary was celebrated with a traditional cake cutting ceremony in the presence of all the leaders from various departments. On this special occasion, a photo cake was organized for which displayed
the evolution of the AT&T logo over the years, which is a symbol of growth, and inspiration for everyone
including this brilliant team. Also, AT&T clients left a very motivating voice message for the team, which
was played on the floor during the ceremony, and it proved to be the ‘icing’ on the cake. The celebration
was concluded with a message which our AT&T clients and Etech Senior Leadership always quote – “The

To share is to care!
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping
yourself, the other for helping others.
Yes, with the same feeling, Etech Gandhinagar, like Etech Baroda was walking
the talk. It is with great pleasure we announce that the team was able to donate
more than 18,000 INR. The Mocktail competition winners along with all other
employees at Etech helped in reaching this milestone figure.
Etech donated this amount to Missionaries of Charity
that takes care of orphan kids. It was indeed a heart
touching event to see kids being abandoned when they are born; however, it
was with great pride we say that the team could contribute and make a difference in their lives. The Missionary of Charity is a Roman Catholic Latin Rite
religious congregation established in 1950 by Mother Teresa. It consists of over
4,501 religious sisters and is active in 133 countries. A member of the Congregation must adhere to the
vows of chastity, poverty, obedience, and the fourth vow, to give wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor.
Let’s thank Anu Antony, Veena Shetty, Hitesh Patel, Rutesh Dave, Ankit Panwar, Jatin Chouhan and
Rahul Gangwani to visit the place and contribute in Etech’s stead.
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less
because of that missing drop – Mother Teresa

Independence Day Celebrations

It was August 15, 68th year of India’s Independence, and Etech India was all excited to celebrate it with
a bang. ‘Traditional’ was the theme of the day that brought all the colors, culture and diversity of our
people together under one roof. Both the centers decided to test their employee General Knowledge
by conducting a quiz. Etech Baroda organized the most awaited event of the month the Grand Finale of
‘Who’s The Smartest.’ It was a nerve wrecking experience for the audience to wait and see who the winner amongst the 5 finalists is. Moreover, the audience rounds kept the spectators on their toes in hope to
bag in some goodies.
Etech Gandhinagar, not far behind, decided to have a quiz competition of their own in which the questions were asked on anything regarding India. 10 players were chosen in the elimination round based on
‘passing the parcel’. It was a nail biting finish to the end for the 5 participating teams. The winners in
both the centers were awarded exciting prizes. These events couldn’t have been possible without the
support of the respective WLB Teams and Center Directors.
May your wishes all come true and your dreams be
comforting too. Happy Birthday!

their second visit to the foundation and it seemed there were many more things to explore.
Akshayapatra foundation provides freshly cooked mid day meals to 1,368,283 underprivileged children
in 19 locations across 8 states of India; currently, implementing the free mid-day meal program in 9,075
schools of the country, with plans to increase that number to hundreds more. It is also a strong MIS &
Operational Excellence model taught as a case study at Harvard Business School’s MBA Curriculum. This
program has also helped increasing the number of kids coming to school and has prominently affected
the intelligence of these kids because of the nutritious meal that the foundation provides.
The Etech activity included an orientation, a kitchen visit, a public school visit and serve the mid day
meal to the school kids. The school visit was the most fun part of this activity. It was an exciting experience for many of the Etech representatives as it brought the memories of good old school days and all
the mischief that they were once a part of.
The team successfully concluded the fund raising campaign at the Baroda centre and was able to sponsor
21 kids for the free mid day meal program through the Akshayapatra foundation. We are thankful to all
the philanthropists who contributed towards this wonderful cause.
Happy Friendship’s Day!
‘A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the
world walks out.’
Usually celebrated on the first Sunday of every August,
the Friendship’s Day was celebrated a little year at Etech
Gandhinagar.
The WLB team conducted a Quiz to check if you know
your friend well. We had an out-of-the-world participation and it is safe to say that some of those friends really knew each other well. They
were best friends in its truest sense.
