Are you ready for a healthier you? Everything we do – physically, socially, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, and financially – has an impact. A year into navigating through the new normal, the AEV Corporate HR Team took it one step further by focusing on one’s total well-being through the launch of the #BetterUs campaign. It covers six dimensions of total well-being which are physical, social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and financial. AEV continues to strive to address the needs of its team members for them to be the best at their jobs and create initiatives that take us together for the haul.
This campaign was launched as a challenge that lasted six weeks, sparking friendly competition between teams across AEV where they were given tasks related to their well-being to accomplish. Each task accomplished corresponded to certain number of points which were inputted in a tracker. Some tasks were socializing with teammates, creating sanity breaks between work schedules, and abstaining from fast food and sweets. By the end of six weeks, the top three teams with the most points won gift certificates.
“I like how it promotes camaraderie and engagement among team members. I like it when we do activities together. Though it’s only a short period of time, for me the activities that we do together enables us to improve engagement and foster teamwork among the team members” – Moses Gantuangco, Treasury Services Group
The #BetterUs campaign also includes various learning sessions. A round table discussion on “How Emotionally Intelligent are you?” with guests internal and external to the Aboitiz Group touched upon the emotional well-being of team members. For physical well-being, a fun and interactive learning session on “Taking Better Care of Your Eyes” in partnership with Alcon Laboratories (Phil.), Inc was held to teach viewers to treat their eyes with care most especially since we spend more than 10 hours a day in front of our devices. For financial wellness, in partnership with Unionbank of the Philippines, a three-part learning session called “Invest in U” was held tackling bonds, stocks, investments, and savings, all of which were attended by A-People across the Aboitiz Group.
As the team is heavy on Mental Wellness, AEV Corporate HR officially partnered with InfinitCare, a Mental Health Platform where team members can get personalized and relevant resources across a variety of mental health topics, book a 60-minute online counseling session with licensed professional, and find research-based tips and strategies in dealing with common mental health issues all for free.
“By launching InfinitCare as our mental health partner in AEV, we want to encourage the A-People to take care of their mental health especially in these difficult times. We provide them access to different mental health resources to push awareness and make it easy for them to reach out for help when they feel they need to. The pandemic has affected us in different ways, now more than ever, we want to remind A-People that AEV cares and values their mental health and well-being.” – Virg Banaag, AEV Corporate HR
The campaign is ongoing with more activities and learning sessions that will continue to nourish the six dimensions of one’s well-being. Interested to take part in the #BetterUs campaign? Join our Talent Community and create a future built by you!
