New Culture of Work in PH Needed to Succeed in Digital Transformation

Microsoft Study finds that 1 in 2 Filipino workers expect their organizations to invest in culture development and 47% expect leaders to close the digital skills gap

Philippines, September 29, 2017 -  The changing face of the workforce in the Philippines has resulted in a need for organizations to foster a new culture of work to achieve digital transformation success, a Microsoft Study has concluded. In fact, half of the respondents polled felt that more can be done by their organizations to invest in culture development.

The Study found the following factors influencing the culture of work in the Philippines today:

Increasingly mobile workforce and exposure to new security risks: The rise of mobility and proliferation of mobile and cloud technologies have resulted in individuals working across multiple locations and devices. In fact, the Study found that only 21% of respondents are spending all of their work hours in the office, and 81% of respondents are working off personal smartphones. The latter raises new security challenges for organizations.

The rise of diverse teams: The Study found that 29% of workers in the Philippines are already working in more than 10 teams at any one point in time. With the BPO industry being significant in the country, more workers are working with different and even virtual teams from different locations. This makes the availability of real-time insights and collaboration tools crucial to get work done.

Gaps in employees’ digital skills even as leaders are in the motion of embracing digital transformation: As the bar is raised with new technologies adopted across industries, deployment is uneven. In fact, 47% of respondents feel that more can be done to bridge the digital skills gap among workers.

Microsoft COO/CMM Cian O'Neil presenting the new culture of work in the Philippine during the Microsoft 365 launch

Said Cian O’Neill, Microsoft Philippines COO and CMO: “The rise of digital technologies, along with a new generation of millennials entering the workforce, has brought about a need to address changing workers’ expectations, knowledge and skills, as well as the tools they use. And with more than half of the world’s millennials residing in Asia, the workplace will need to transform to adapt to the technology habits of these digital natives. In addition, due to deployment of advanced and emerging technologies, organizations need to relook at reskilling its workforce to develop creative and strategic skills for the future.”

Addressing a new culture of work for digital transformation success
Even as 86% of business leaders in the Philippines acknowledge the need to transform into a digital business in order to succeed, people are ultimately the main drivers of digital transformation.

“People are at the heart of digital transformation. Their expectations, knowledge and skills, as well as the tools they use for work, are determining factors in the level of transformation that any organization can achieve. The challenge that they face now is how to implement new ways to foster a modern culture of work to better empower Asia’s workers, especially those at the frontline. By estimates, there are two billion firstline workers globally, and make up majority of our workforce today,” said Bertand Launay, Microsoft Philippines Managing Director.

Today, firstline workers serve as the first point of contact between companies and the rest of the world - first to engage customers, represent brand, and see products and services in action.
To unlock the potential of employees, organizations need to address and elevate their workforce, especially firstline workers, through addressing the core values of the new culture of work:

•Unlocking employees’ creativity
Collaboration fuels innovation through sharing of ideas and enables flexibility in how people work through a connected experience, while working seamlessly across devices. However, the Study found that majority of respondents feel restricted in the way they work today, with 64% highlighting that they needed to be physically present in office as equipment or tools used for their line of work is only available in the workplace.

•Fuelling teamwork
By equipping all workers with a universal toolkit for collaboration, organizations offer its people choice and ownership as to how they work together and collaborate in real-time. In fact, the Study found that one in two workers highlighted that access to technology for collaboration such that they can respond in a timely manner to internal and external requests was important in their line of work.

•Strengthening Security
Today, 74% of respondents are working on employer-issued PCs, but 81% are also working on personal smartphones, which underscores potential security risks. In fact, 76% of respondents admitted to checking personal emails on company-issued devices, and are doing so for convenience sake. Therefore, leaders need to strengthen their security not to put organization’s confidential data at risk to address the need for workers to work without barriers and without impeding productivity.

•Bringing Simplicity
With the rise of apps, devices, services and security risks in the workplace, there is a need to streamline the IT management, break down service siloes so that disparate data can be combined and reasoned in new ways and reduce complexity. In fact, a Microsoft Asia Pacific IT leaders study found that 61% of ITDMs from the market agreed that there is a need to reduce complexity of managing their existing IT security portfolio.

Technology is key for firstline workers to become an integral part of digital transformation success

“We believe that every worker – from the factory floor to the front desk, to the executive boardroom – can contribute to an organization’s collective endeavours. It is our view that involving firstline workers in digital transformation will drive unprecedented opportunity – for workers, the organizations that they work for, and the industries and society at large,” added O’Neill.  “At Microsoft, we see the opportunities that can be unlocked with technology by equipping firstline workers with the right tools, such as Microsoft 365. Ultimately, digital transformation projects can only succeed if the right tools are in place for workers to leverage and maximize upon.”

Microsoft Philippines  STU Ryan Manalastas giving a demo on the five important Microsoft 365 Security and Productivity Features

Microsoft has announced the expansion of Microsoft 365, including Microsoft 365 F1, which provides purpose-built capabilities that help foster firstline culture and community, train and upskill employees, digitize business process, deliver real-time expertise, and minimize risk and cost. New intelligent search capabilities, a vision for intelligent communications centring on Microsoft Teams, and security and IT management enhancements to help customers stay secure and compliant were also introduced at Ignite:

•Microsoft 365 F1 brings together Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise
Mobility + Security to empower the more than two billion firstline workers worldwide, who serve as the first point of contact between a company and its customers, or who are directly involved in making products.

•Introducing a new vision for intelligent communications, including plans to bring Skype for Business Online capabilities into Microsoft Teams, along with cognitive and data services, making Teams the true hub for teamwork in Office 365, including persistent chat, voice and video.  

•Intelligent search experiences use AI and machine learning to deliver more relevant search results everywhere you search across Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 is delivering improved Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) features like enhanced anti-phishing capabilities, expanded protection to SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Microsoft Teams and integration between cloud and on premises identity threat detection capabilities.

Modernizing firstline workforce with Microsoft Cloud
For organizations still on Office 2007, end of support will happen on 11 October. Customers who are still using Office 2007 products and services are encouraged to move to Office 365 or Microsoft 365 to stay supported, and ensure uninterrupted support from Microsoft.

O’Neill said: “With cloud-based productivity tools being a key pick among Asia’s mobile workers to drive greater collaboration among teams, we urge organizations to take the opportunity to evaluate Microsoft 365 as an option to modernize their workforce.”

Sports Barbers SM Mall of Asia: A Stylish Destination for the Male Grooming Generation

With pompadours on the rise, man-buns making its way on
the street, perfectly trimmed beards and facial hair making an
appearance, it’s safe to say that male grooming is finally
getting the attention it deserves.

But while men will admittedly make more effort by way of
aesthetics, the process of getting the right look still prompts
them to demand the simplicity and straightforwardness of
traditional barbershops.

“Most women like being whisked away to a secluded world
of pampering for their beauty treatments. The same can’t be
said for men—most guys expect an efficient and clear-cut
service—but not at the expense of style,” explains Arvin
Amaro, Marketing Head of Sports Barbers Barbershop.

This gave way to a new breed of barbershops—one that
delivers the kind of service that they expect; one that
essentially gives a modern take on an old classic. And while
there have been a few cropping up here and there, none have
been more accessible or as successful in providing the stylish
sense that today’s grooming generation seeks than Sports
Barbers.

With 13 branches all over the country, Sports Barbers
recreates the traditional concept of your go-to
neighbourhood barbershop and offers a destination that is
modern and stylish yet stays true to what men have been
used to.

Its ambience and service, strongly anchored on its team’s
ability to provide everything from on-trend cuts to classic
styles, is a compelling reminder of inherent masculine
values—adventure, straightforwardness, humour and at the
end of the day, natural good looks (as opposed to self-
conscious preening).

The entire concept of Sports Barbers is to deliver the best
cuts for clients, inspired by traditional hairstyles and the most
stylish men. The brand’s crop of barber-stylists, a term
derived from the fusion of Vidal Sassoon trained cutting and
styling mixed with the efficient sensibilities of old-school
barbers, mean clients can confidently step into any branch
and emerge looking as dapper and effortlessly good as they
can be.

“The idea is to create a go-to destination for men where they
can expect the reliable, time-honoured techniques of
traditional barbering and yet know they are in the hand of
people who will be able to tell the difference between a short
sides with brush top versus buzz crop or a pompadour
versus a slick back,” ends Amaro.

Sports Barbers Barbershop has locations in UP Town
Center, Ayala Fairview Terraces, SM Clark, SM Southmall,
SM Bacoor, SM Bicutan, SM Cebu, SM Bacolod and its
newest brand SM Mall of Asia.

Define Your Allergies Before They Define You

People silently suffer from allergies and many have learned to accept that it has become a part of their daily lives and have somehow learned to live with it.

What many don’t know is that allergies can be avoided by properly identifying them before they can wreak havoc on you and your family’s health.

First, define the type of allergy you have. Many don’t really know the types of allergies that afflict them and what really causes it. Some common symptoms include sneezing in the morning or nighttime, runny nose, itchy and red eyes and itchy throat, incessant coughing, breathing difficulty, “wheezing” or that high-pitched whistling sound, irritated skin or tickly rashes after eating a certain kind of food or taking a form of medication.

Some allergies also come from airborne elements like dust, dust mites and even dust mite feces, pet dander, and even skin composition. Other sources include pollen from various weeds, grass, and trees, animal hair from dogs, cats, horses, rats, and even non-vulcanized rubber used in making latex products like gloves. There are also the so-called “seasonal” allergies like allergic rhinitis where sufferers undergo difficulty in cold weather.

Some allergies also tend to be unpredictable, too, and different people regardless of age and sex have contrasting experiences ranging from mild to severe, even fatal to some. Aside from the usual inconvenient rashes and sneezes, allergies sometimes manifest in the form of bad or swollen lips, shortness of breath, vomiting or worst, a medical emergency like anaphylactic shock.

The symptoms really depend on what form you’re allergic to and how you came in contact with it. Most of the time, people discover they’re allergic to something when it has already caused a reaction in the body and not before.

But don’t fret about allergies because there is hope. Prevention of troublesome physiological reactions caused by allergies can be achieved through Faber, the screening test for allergies.

Faber allows you to identify your allergens before they can cause an allergic reaction. It is the most up-to-date and complete tool today to diagnose an allergy. Made with the most advanced knowledge in the field of nanotechnology, Faber measures specific antibodies against bacteria, viruses and allergens. It uses molecular allergens and allergen extracts using only minimal blood samples from the patient.

The Faber test is recommended for those who have allergy with rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma, urticaria, eczema, food reactions including abdominal pain and diarrhea, or insect or latex-induced reactions. Faber is also used if there are other members of the family who suffer from these allergies, or when more than one symptom appears at the same time and have several triggers.

Puzzled and distressed about your allergic reactions? Going to your doctor and taking a more pro-active and specific approach to your allergies can do the trick. Take the Faber test also if you have done the restriction diets but without success, and avoiding the things you are allergic to but failed. The test is also a good preparation when traveling to an unknown destination, when moving to a new home, or even when starting a new job. It is also used to perform a periodical screening test for early diagnosis or simply for the prescription of an allergy vaccine.

Anybody is eligible to take the Faber test — from infants to the elderly. There is no need to fast or to stop therapies even for allergies. It only takes a small amount of blood for the test and unlike skin tests, even patients with severe dermatitis such as urticaria or eczema can have it done.

You may request for the Faber test from your medical practitioner or molecular allergist, who can customize the individual test interpretation based on the role of individual molecules seen as “risk markers.”

For more information on the FABER test or to book an appointment for a consult visit lifescience.ph or call 848-LIFE (5433).

EasyGrocery : A novel and trouble-free way to grocery shopping

Great news – you can now do your groceries online, and in the comfort of your own home! Imagine foregoing the hassle of physically going to the grocery, dealing with traffic and parking woes, dealing with a crowded supermarket and longer lines at the cashier.

This is made possible by EasyGrocery, the latest mobile app which allows consumers to purchase their grocery items from the app and have them delivered to their preferred address within 60 minutes committed time. The app works for both iOS and Android phones and is now available for download from the App Store and Google Play. 

The launch of EasyGrocery comes at a time when more and more Pinoy shoppers are putting premium value for convenience. The results of the annual Nielsen Shopper Trends report from 2015 to 2017 showed a common theme on the shopping habits of Filipinos. While income and purchasing power remains on the upswing, what remains a reality is that the consumers’ time is now a highly-priced commodity. Hence, products and services that are convenient, trustworthy and hassle-free will always appeal to busy Filipinos.

The proliferation of online shopping in the Philippines has significantly altered the way Filipino consumers approach shopping. In 2015, there are already 26.01 million Filipino eCommerce users, majority of which come from the middle class. Topping their list of purchase are electronic goods, clothes and even furniture.

Therefore, it is surprising that in spite the proliferation of online shopping sites and apps, one still has yet to buy their groceries on foot and in store. This may be the reason why another earlier Shopper Trends survey showed that Filipinos are spending less during grocery shopping but spending more in convenience stores.

Grocery Shopping for the changing times 

EasyGrocery aims to cater to the average Filipinos who find grocery shopping a daunting but necessary task: it can be the average office worker who spends a minimum of 8 hours in the office, excluding overtime; it can be the harried mother trying to balance taking care of the kids and still do house chores; or it can be OFWs who want to be more hands-on on their family’s budgeting.

“We currently live in a fast-paced lifestyle where convenience and time-savings are the public’s priority requirement in their day-to-day activities. It is from this reality that the idea by which EasyGrocery was conceptualized.”, said EasyGrocery’s President & CEO Eugene Leoncio. 

Whatever the case may be, this latest mobile app delivers the hassle-free and convenient way of getting the week’s basic necessities from the store to the customer’s home, with just a few clicks. To appeal to the discerning market, EasyGrocery puts prime value in winning the trust of their users by putting their own brand of customer service in place:

• A fast and easy ordering system designed exclusively for the app 

• Trained Runners who will personally pick-up the groceries as soon as orders are confirmed online

• GPS mobile app tracker for their riders which allows customers to track the driver’s location with ETA

• A proactive notification system which allows customers to see if items/orders are already in process and see their current status 

EasyGrocery provides a variety of online grocery shopping options as it makes it possible to purchase the orders in some of the country’s biggest supermarket chains. What’s best, groceries will come from the stores nearest to the customers in order to meet delivery time. Users have the option of paying Cash On Delivery (COD), credit card and points payment and soon, payments can also be made via Bayad Centers, over the counter, online banking, convenience stores and mobile payment facilities.

And since EasyGrocery only charges a flat rate of 100 pesos for the service fee per order and another 100 pesos for the delivery fee; it is still more affordable compared to commuting and then dealing with the unnecessary expenses of grocery shopping!

#KFCDeliveryFansDay

KFC Delivery Fans Day is September 30. But last friday, KFC invited bloggers to celebrate the #KFCDeliveryFansDay in advance! The event happened at KFC, BGC. After arriving there, we had our breakfast first to have the energy for the game!

Mystery Manila hosted the game, it seems that they turned the KFC branch into Mystery Manila Playground! Haha!

I'm with Team no.2 with other bloggers named Zheyme, Patty and my sister Gerilen of Gerilen & Jer Sons on facebook.

So, they gave us a letter for the challenge:

Thank you for accepting my invitation! A very special prize is waiting just for you.

But first you must prove how much of a KFC fan you are by completing a few challenges for me. Are you up for it?

If yes, go up to the cashier and order the “Colonel’s Special” to get your first clue.

Yours Truly,

Col. Harland Sanders

So, the game started! We go to the cashier and order the "Colonel's Special" to get the first clue! You know what's inside? A walkie talkie! The man talking in the walkie talkie gives us instructions on what should we do next.

Before the game started, they gave us a key. And we should unlock one of the KFC Delivery Motorcycles outside. And we can't believe it! Just one try and tadaaa! The padlock was unlocked!

Inside the box was a KFC shirt, eyeglass and a hairnet. One of us should be the Colonel's assistant and we decided that it would be Patty.

Patty was asked to get the bucket of KFC chicken ordered by customer named Harland and we have to look for him and give his order! We look everywhere and ask almost all of the customers eating there! After how many minutes of searching, finally! We found him! I think he's hiding because he sat outside! Haha!

Because we successfully delivered his bucket of chicken, he gave us a KFC gift box and the next challenge? We have to guess the 2 password to open it! There is a clue at the top of the box with a telephone icon and a phrase "it's finger lickin' good! And guess what?! We unlocked it using the KFC Delivery Hotline! It's 887-8888!

After unlocking the KFC gift box, there's a message inside!

Congratulations! You are a true KFC Delivery fan! Proceed to the 2nd floor function area to receive your special prize.

Col. Harland Sanders

So we proceed immediately to the 2nd floor and wow! They surprised us with a confetti! And because of completing the KFC mission, they reward us a KFC gift certificates and ofcourse, a Kentucky Fried Chicken meal with gravy, rice, mashed potato, mushroom soup and a drink!

We really had so much fun with the game even though we sweat a little because of running there and here! Haha!

I'm happy with the KFC gift certificates since my baby loves to eat at KFC! He really likes the chicken, gravy and also the fries! Here's the evidence. Haha!
