Before the Covid-19 lockdowns in late March 2020, the Cebu Leadership Council (CLC) was able to conduct our Strategic Planning session in February through March which had focus on the creation of various Work Streams, Business Continuity and Communication. We were grateful that all these made us prepared to care for our Associates when the lockdowns happened.

We were able to immediately implement seamless deployment of our Associates to work from home, to safely live in hotels & work in the office, to implement the highest levels of health & safety protocols, to effectively communicate with ALL stakeholders especially our clients, and implement various care activities to support all our Associates. Result… we had 100% employment throughout the pandemic and even added over a thousand new Associates because of our clients’ trust & confidence and feedback that we were first to respond effectively to the pandemic.

While everyone was adjusting to all of these pandemic uncertainties, while everyone was continuously performing their very best at work, and while everyone was keeping each other engaged with high spirits… the CLC felt we need to break the ice and spread positivity across the Site & in the homes of our Associates.

(Do you remember the Swiss knife implementation model?)

We immediately consulted our Focus on Associate Work Stream (FAWS) leaders across the site and their strong recommendation is…. we need to do a fun activity wherein everyone can participate. It must be something that our mixed population of millennials & Gen Zs love doing. It must also enable our Associates to express their feelings.

*About the video

The FAWS across the Site implemented the Fun Dance Videos of each account and shared it on social media. This attached video was from one of my Teams of 300 Associates led by my h(J)appy Ops Leader which got over 7,000 Facebook likes & reactions within 1 week. Thanks to Marylove for putting the video together.

“Can’t Stop the Feeling” is sung, written and produced by the amazing Justin Timberlake in 2016.

This song brought a lot of joy, hope and positivity to the Team during the height of uncertainties of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The Team felt it was the right song to dance during this time to express and spread positivity. In behalf of the Team, “Thank you, Justin Timberlake”.
