There's only one way to get 'to the summit': you have to work with a team. And for that, you need tons of TRUST!
HONG KONG, June 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Last night at the Awards Ceremony for the Best Companies to Work For® in Hong Kong 2018, the entire team of Great Place to Work® gave us an outstanding experience and a taste of what great workplaces are, how they thrive and how they can continue their path to excellence and satisfaction.
With a most original activity, presented and prepared in partnership with one of their Best Practice Partners, Teamacting, they made Great Place to Work® feel closer to the journey for trust. In this creative session, the team used the analogy of the effort and coordination of climbing mountains and the most needed coordination with our own work teams.
The venue was part of the stage, as we needed to understand the satisfaction and advantages of having a higher point of view. "Sky100 served as an excellent analogy to 'conquering heights' by offering a splendid view of the city, which is a testament to our organisational mission of striving to build a better world, while making Hong Kong a great workplace for everybody", commented Mr. Shane McDonnell, who is in charge of Business Development at Great Place to Work®.
"In order to climb to the summits of success and to conquer your ambitious objectives you'll always need a team of loyal, aligned, engaged and innovative people. But that rarely happens spontaneously; you need a leader creating an environment for them to thrive and unleash their potential." This was the main concept in the words of the CEO of Great Place to Work® in Greater China, Mr. Jose Carlos Bezanilla, in his presentation addressing the attendees of the Awards Ceremony.
In addition to this energetic session, we went through the report, to which Mr. Mao, in charge of research and logistics at Great Place to Work®, shared that: "The numbers and findings generally show only a slight change from last year but we did have more companies being surveyed. This demonstrates a growing interest in creating and validating the great efforts of leaders, creating better organisations and work environments in our community."
Thirteen companies were awarded as the Best in Hong Kong for 2018, while 41 were surveyed. Miss PoYu Fong, leading Marketing at the institute, commented, "It is always great to see the pride and satisfaction from the people in these outstanding organisations, and witness that they harvest the time and effort invested in creating great teams and great administrations while aiming to get the personal best of their colleagues."
