November 30, 2019, TIIC – iPak launched its first-ever “Employee Appreciation Day”. The company may have been busy throughout the year, but the management wanted to dedicate a day to give back to its employees. Days prior to the main event, games such as volleyball, table tennis, badminton, and basketball, were commenced through round-robin matches to determine the teams for the championship events. These activities helped the employees to bond, make new friends, and develop camaraderie and teamwork. Aside from the main games event, there were also Filipino and parlor games that the employees enjoyed. There was a 100m run for male and female contenders, a game of patintero, jump rope and hula hoop. Winners were given awards, and everyone received a bag of grocery items for them to bring back home. It was not easy to facilitate an event with over 400 participants in it, but at the end of the events, those exhausted faces from work turned into genuine smiles made it all worth it. This is the management’s way of saying that no matter what your role is in the company, everyone is family, valuable, appreciated, and respected.
