At Selena Courier Service, inclusivity and support are at the core of everything we do. One of our employees, Vigen Muradients, joined us in October 2019 and has an inspiring story of overcoming personal challenges to become a valued team member. This interview with Vigen shows how a welcoming workplace can make all the difference.
Read on to learn about Vigen’s journey, how inclusivity in the workplace matters, and the steps Selena Courier takes to ensure everyone feels valued and supported.
1. Vigen’s Start at Selena Courier
“I joined Selena Courier Service in October 2019 after my friend recommended the company to me. I was nervous because it was my first job after having a stroke, and I wasn’t sure if I could handle the physical demands of being a courier. Before my illness, I held a more responsible job as a company representative, so the transition was challenging.”
“I’m grateful for the warm welcome I received from the team at Selena Courier. They made me feel part of the family right away, which helped me adjust to the new role. The support I got was invaluable.”
For anyone returning to work after a significant health challenge, finding a supportive environment is crucial. Organisations such as Disability Rights UK promote inclusive workplaces that enable people like Vigen to thrive in their careers, despite physical challenges.
2. Overcoming the Initial Challenges
“To be honest, the first few months were tough. It was my first experience as a courier, and it took time to get used to the job. I had my doubts at first, but as the weeks went by, I began to feel more confident in my abilities. I realised I could do this job well, and that was a turning point for me.”
Vigen’s story shows how important it is for companies to provide an inclusive work environment where employees can learn, adapt, and build confidence. According to Scope, offering flexible work conditions can be life-changing for employees with disabilities, helping them transition back into the workforce more easily.
3. Gaining Experience and Confidence
“Over the past five years, I’ve gained valuable experience, particularly in working with people. I now feel much more confident in handling different situations, and that will help me in the future. The company has always been understanding whenever I’ve faced challenges, which has made a big difference.”
At Selena Courier Service, we pride ourselves on offering flexibility and support for all employees, especially those facing personal challenges. Vigen’s journey shows how inclusivity leads to personal growth, not just for him but for the entire team.
4. Finding Purpose in the Work
“Working as a courier has given me a sense of responsibility. I feel useful, knowing I’m helping people with their deliveries, and that makes the job very fulfilling. It’s important to feel valued, and Selena Courier has done that for me.”
Vigen’s story reflects the findings of Disability Confident , a government initiative that encourages employers to create more inclusive workplaces. By fostering a culture of support, businesses can help employees feel valued and motivated.
5. Building Self-Esteem and Looking Ahead
“Through my time at Selena Courier, my self-esteem has improved. I’m much more confident in my abilities now, and I think I’m ready for more responsibility. My advice to anyone with a disability is: don’t be afraid of the challenges. You’ll be surprised by what you can achieve if you just try.”
At Selena Courier Service, we believe in empowering our team members, giving them the tools they need to grow both personally and professionally. Vigen’s journey is a testament to the power of inclusivity in helping people regain their confidence and look forward to the future.
