What happens when all the people in your organization feel better about the work they do? When they have a shared belief and feel a kindred spirit with their co-workers? For VBP, the benefits are multifold. We are united, we are purpose and values led. That’s why we continue to perpetuate our culture through various activities which align, engage and motivate us, employees.
Last 4th of March, VBP held our very first Culture Camp at Cebu Marine Beach Resort in Lapu-Lapu City. It isn’t your typical team building, it was rather a gleeful company-wide getaway. We entered the grandiose facade of the resort with amazing tribal beats as we proudly wore our culture shirts to represent our team. We greeted the morning sun with our loudest cheers and chants that day. We also displayed our athletic prowess as each team participated in our volleyball competition. Under the scorching heat of the sun, each team braved the narrow aisles and the sandy beaches in the amazing race.
The main highlight of the event was the search for the next VBP Culture Ambassador and Ambassadress. As the crowd cheered, the representatives from each team took the grand entrance while on their best tribal attire to perform their production number and get to introduce themselves. It was then followed by the talent portion as they showcased their unique and amazing renditions. And finally, in the Q & A portion, they’ve shown what they’re really made of. Not just beauty but also got the brains.
Ultimately, Renny Boy Formentera from Team Platypus and Israel Ballena from Team Wombats were crowned as the VBP Culture Ambassador and Ambassadress 2017.
We then capped the euphoric day with lively beats and booze. I can say that our weekend was indeed well spent. Not only that we unleashed our talents and shown our creativity, we also had greatly enjoyed each other’s company. VBP truly isn’t just a business, it is home to the brightest people nurtured among each other.
