I can confidently say they do an outstanding job, with an eagerness to learn and tackle technical challenges.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here are their personal stories:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Olga Vizir \u2013 Eight Years at the Company<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5033\" src=\"https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.04_fc2f55be-293x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"293\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.04_fc2f55be-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.04_fc2f55be-998x1024.jpg 998w, https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.04_fc2f55be-768x788.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.04_fc2f55be.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Olga immigrated from Ukraine ten years ago and has been a part of the company for the past eight years. She started in the production\u00a0department, where she worked for four years before transitioning to Supplemental Processing. &#8220;I love my work here\u2014it\u2019s interesting and never monotonous,&#8221; she shares. When Olga joined Rion, there were only three women in the production department. Today, she notes, that number has grown significantly. &#8220;The company is always expanding, investing in equipment and machinery, and providing a sense of stability. Many of us still aren\u2019t fluent in Hebrew, myself included, but somehow, we all manage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">More than the stability and professional growth, Olga highlights the support she received when life threw her an unexpected challenge. About a year ago, her son was severely injured in a car accident, and she had to be by his side throughout the hospitalization period and the surgeries he had to go through. &#8220;The management at Rion was incredibly understanding\u2014they allowed me flexible shifts and granted me sick leave whenever needed. I\u2019m not sure I would have received this kind of support anywhere else,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Sebele Bekalu \u2013 Enjoying the Work and the Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5035\" src=\"https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.05_82658dc5-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.05_82658dc5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.05_82658dc5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.05_82658dc5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.05_82658dc5-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-13-at-11.42.05_82658dc5.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sebele immigrated from Ethiopia four years ago but joined our team only six months ago, following a warm recommendation from her sister, who also works at the company. &#8220;When I started out, I requested to work only morning or night shifts, because of my child, and I\u2019m grateful the company accommodated the request,&#8221; she says.
