The post-pandemic workplace; Cebu, Sugbo Mercado is now on V

The workplace after the pandemic

Ninja Van Philippines is at the forefront of shaping the post-pandemic workplace by balancing employee safety, productivity and empowerment.

“Our mission of enabling seamless deliveries rests on the hard work, skills and passion of our people – and we continuously strive to ensure our people grow and reach their full potential,” said Sabina Lopez, Chief Commercial Officer of Ninja Van Philippines -Vergara in a media webinar “Hybrid Hustle: Redefining the New Normal.”

Organized by Ninja Van Philippines, the event brought together leaders from the region’s leading job search and networking platforms, government and the local human resources industry to discuss trends, opportunities and challenges in the evolving post-pandemic work landscape in the Philippines.

Vergara said in response to employee needs, Ninja Van Philippines implemented a full hybrid setup for its corporate headquarters. Employees in the support and commercial groups, such as sales, marketing, finance, and administration, report for physical work only when needed, aligned with their respective teams’ schedules and priorities.

Ninja Van Philippines has begun renovating its Makati headquarters to make it more conducive to employees reporting on the ground. Expected upgrades include fitness equipment and play areas for better work-play integration, rest and shower areas, and individual phone booths for focused work.
