Reference: The employee that symbolizes the company

Reference information:
No próximo domingo (25), os Correios comemoram o Dia do Carteiro. A data escolhida para homenagear esse profissional marca a criação, em 25 de janeiro de 1663, do Correio-Mor no Brasil. Para prestar reconhecimento ao seu empregado-símbolo, a ECT realiza durante a semana uma série de eventos em todo o Brasil. Além de ser a principal categoria profissional dos Correios, o carteiro é a face mais visível da empresa junto à população, sendo recebido com cordialidade e carinho em cada residência que visita. Boa parte da credibilidade alcançada pela ECT junto à população, deve-se à confiança que os brasileiros depositam nos carteiros
