🌴 Taking a fine of 2 million VND to skip team building 🏝️ ⚡️ Not everyone enjoys every activity, and team building is one of them. At the beginning of May, Kim Phung's company (27 years old, Tan Binh district, Ho Chi Minh City) announced a company retreat in Thailand for its employees. To encourage participation, the company imposed a fine of 2 million VND for those who did not attend. However, because she had been to Bangkok many times before and was not particularly close to her colleagues, she chose to pay the fine and stay at home to spend time with her family. 💼 💸🏡 Hà My, a 25-year-old accountant from Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi, also paid a fine of 2 million VND to "stay at home" during the team building event in Cat Ba. Hà My hopes that the company can improve the team building program and provide more engaging activities. Instead of visiting familiar destinations, the HR department and travel company can organize a gala dinner or camping trip. 💬 "The trend of healing travel is booming. Instead of 'chasing KPIs' at tourist spots, I want to rest and recharge, spend time getting to know and develop relationships with my colleagues," says Hà My. ⭐️ This is the sentiment of many young professionals today. However, it is because many organizations and individuals misunderstand the purpose of team building activities. Companies can hire third-party organizations like CREATIO to consult and organize meaningful team-building sessions that align with the corporate culture of each company and meet the desires of their employees! #Creatio #CreationWithoutEnd #MarketingAgency #ConsultingAgency  #13YearsOfSustainableDevelopment #Climatechange #News #teambuilding #companyretreat #bonding #development #workenvironment #personnel #productivity #happiness #teamspirit #zinews

It’s makan time again for the VHR team! Last week, we had a birthday celebration for the August babies over a meal, cake and ice cream! In VHR, we've always known that this is the culture I want to build. A culture where we form quality relationship and have strong team appreciation. (1). A healthy culture is not built by fancy office, free flow food or nice quotes on the wall. (2). A healthy culture is formed by Experience Mindset combined. Experience is what you go through in the company, including what you do and what others do. Mindset is your habitual mental attitude towards situations and people, and how you respond to them. When positive experience meets positive mindset, we create a positive culture - a culture that shares knowledge, grow together and look out for each other.

I am just imagining the US Presidential debate, a 3-some. We were never represented in any Presidential Debate so far. We alias the Working Class. The media is never part of us, they have 1-way communication while this strategy never works in business and labor. The communication in reality is top-down or bottom-up; horizontal and vertical, internal-external. As we move to a better HR Training Program for Leadership and Youth Empowerment regardless of race, religion, educational background and gender, there is Equality in Opportunity, by Merit gained out of experience. I started working in the Philippines in 2019, the hotel industry was rejecting my application inspite of my overseas working experience in Bali Tourism industry and organization. Bali's total tourism visitors (pre-covid: 6.7 million. Philippines had 7 million. Bali is an island as big as Singapore and a Province of Indonesia. They did not count on my experience. They just wanted an academic person with a certificate. The BPO welcomed me, my current job is the 4th one.

In Indonesian culture, there exists a more relaxed approach towards time, a stark contrast to the punctuality often observed in countries like Japan or Germany, where time is meticulously managed down to the last second. This cultural perspective on time is deeply ingrained in the Indonesian way of life, especially noticeable in casual gatherings and non-office environments. Within professional settings, time may be respected more rigorously, yet it's important for expatriates working in Indonesia to understand and adjust to this cultural nuance. The Indonesian approach is not indicative of a lack of punctuality but rather a reflection of a broader cultural value that prioritizes flexibility and a less hurried lifestyle. This is not to say that some offices are very punctual and professional in respect to time, deadlines and reporting but it may not be all. As such, expatriates should not be surprised to encounter a more laid-back attitude towards time and should see it as an opportunity to embrace a vital aspect of Indonesian culture, enhancing their experience in the country.

As an expatriate, creating a sense of belonging and comfort in your new environment is essential for a fulfilling journey. Here are a few tips to help you settle into your new home with ease: 1. Cultural Curiosity: Immerse yourself in Indonesia's rich culture. Explore local markets, try traditional cuisine, and engage in cultural activities to deepen your connection to the country. 2. Community Connection: Join expat groups and local communities to meet like-minded individuals and build a support network. Sharing experiences and insights can make the transition smoother. 3.
