The Covid-19 pandemic has challenged many organizations to shift from the traditional working environment into different office set-ups such as homebased deployment, skeleton staffing and staggered working hours schemes. It is not easy to make this transition possible and effective. For many organizations, this change is a matter of survival.
D.M. Wenceslao and Associates Inc. (DMW Group), master developer of Aseana City faced the global pandemic with a well-rounded and inclusive approach to ensure their employee’s welfare, health and safety, and growth are secured. The resiliency of their employees backed by their company culture enabled them to navigate the change in the employee experience with efficiency and ease.
Centralized digital workplace
A virtual equivalent to the physical office setting, the digital workplace dismisses any communication divide and enables employees to drive innovation, efficiency and productivity. Even prior to the pandemic, cloud-based solutions have been an integral part of the company’s day-to-day collaborations.
Employee empowerment
In the midst of the pandemic, various employee engagement activities were also implemented, including regular one-on-one mental health discussions, virtual trainings and career growth opportunities in various levels of the organization.
Caring culture
Leaders welcome employees to directly discuss matters through the “open door policy,” a communication line that literally translates to the open office doors of top-level management to hear out any grievances or concerns of their staff. This demonstration of competent and compassionate leadership makes a positive difference in the work experience of the employees.
All relationships are built on the concepts of empathy and trust. Employees are empowered to positively influence their work environments by leaders who acknowledge their ideas, celebrate their wins, and trust their convictions. And so, for a company to thrive and succeed, the DMW Group believes that people are its greatest investment.
