February Breaktime: I Love My Work

February Breaktime: I Love My Work

On February 2, 2024, the HR team orchestrated a monthly break centered around the theme of “I Love My Work.” The event commenced with a solemn mass officiated by Fr. Ogie, evoking the sacred essence of the Lenten season. Warm welcomes were extended to new hires, and heartfelt recognition was given to February birthday celebrants and employees commemorating work anniversaries.

Following these introductions, the Shared Services team shared insights into their ESG initiative, illustrating how daily tasks seamlessly integrate ESG principles. Tax Partner Fernando Santos then imparted enlightening insights from the BKR conference held in the US, sharing personal experiences and inspiring stories about his journey to becoming a Tax Partner, highlighting his growth and struggles within AOC. As one of the homegrown partners, Fernando exemplifies leadership qualities that the firm values. He emphasized the importance of embracing new challenges and maintaining passion and commitment for work.

As the session drew to a close, Fernando mentioned, “First time is always difficult, it’s nerve-breaking. I always try to accept new engagements that the firm did not offer before, and I wanted to expand the services of AOC. You have to stand your ground, be ready and engaged, and the passion and commitment to your work is always there.”

The HR team concluded the break by presenting an uplifting video titled “The Secret of Those Who Love Their Jobs,” perfectly aligned with the spirit of the love month, leaving attendees feeling inspired and motivated. To wrap up the event, an engaging game called “Love Song Lyrics” was organized by the HR team to foster camaraderie and enjoyment among participants.
