Our People Make the Difference

Joy Fernandez, Operations Manager, Business Process Outsourcing, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

How long have you worked for Unisys? It will be 15 years in July.

What is your favorite part about your job? I love being able to work outside of my day-to-day responsibilities. I especially enjoy being there for my colleagues as a friend/family instead of a boss, organizing team events to build a stronger, genuine relationship and being able to advise and share knowledge freely daily.

What do you wish other people knew about Unisys? Wages and work are not everything in a company. We have our daily challenges, but we also do have a fun time. Unisys is an awesome company that encourages, embraces and practices diversity. People here are like a family built of many unique backgrounds and cultures that lead to great experiences.

Beyond spending time with your family, what else do you enjoy doing when not at work? Online chess and drawing using pencil or charcoal. I also sometimes like to sew, but the most satisfying is when I have tasted a yummy and luscious dish, I must learn to cook it!

Do you have an unusual hobby or pastime? Indeed, I do! I have two times during the day where I cannot be disturbed. These are the real “me times” of the day so I can online shop in peace!

If I could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? I have two – The late Pope St. John Paul II and my all-time favorite poet Khalil Gibran as they both inspire for different reasons.
