Behind every great village experience is a great team. ❤️ This Friday, we're recognising the people behind Village Management success and the teamwork that continues to create great experiences for our clients and communities.  ---   ![“ (3)](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/%E2%80%9C%20(3).png?width=50&height=50&name=%E2%80%9C%20(3).png) Three years on, and there’s been plenty of Work and Smile moments. 😊 Over the past three years, Programmed has continued to deliver Village Management Services, bringing together our people and expertise across catering and Facilities Management to support those who live and work on site. It’s not just about the services we deliver — it’s about the experience we create. The great food. The safe and well-run village. The people who go the extra mile. And the relationships we build with our clients and each other.  That’s what Work and Smile is all about — creating a workplace where people can do their best work and enjoy the experience along the way. The people you see on site, interacting with clients and users, are incredibly important. But often, it’s the people behind the scenes — the ones you don’t always see — who are equally critical to delivering great outcomes. Proud to see what can be achieved when our procurement, legal, finance and all back-of-house teams work alongside our frontline people. A true team effort and a fantastic result. 👏😊  ![1-Nov-08-2026-10-30-13-6565-PM](https://2005876.fs1.hubspotusercontent-ap1.net/hub/2005876/hubfs/1-Nov-08-2026-10-30-13-6565-PM.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=1-Nov-08-2026-10-30-13-6565-PM.png) ![2-Nov-08-2026-10-30-40-0576-PM](https://2005876.fs1.hubspotusercontent-ap1.net/hub/2005876/hubfs/2-Nov-08-2026-10-30-40-0576-PM.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=2-Nov-08-2026-10-30-40-0576-PM.png) ![3-Nov-08-2026-10-30-51-9793-PM](https://2005876.fs1.hubspotusercontent-ap1.net/hub/2005876/hubfs/3-Nov-08-2026-10-30-51-9793-PM.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=3-Nov-08-2026-10-30-51-9793-PM.png) ![4-Nov-08-2026-10-31-02-1101-PM](https://2005876.fs1.hubspotusercontent-ap1.net/hub/2005876/hubfs/4-Nov-08-2026-10-31-02-1101-PM.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=4-Nov-08-2026-10-31-02-1101-PM.png) ![“ (2)](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/%E2%80%9C%20(2).png?width=50&height=50&name=%E2%80%9C%20(2).png) ---   A big thank you to Krista Sambuco for sharing this story and shining a light on the people behind Village Management success. 😊 If you have a story to share that demonstrates the reasons we Work and Smile, you can submit your story by clicking below.
