Russell Reynolds Associates released a study on the leadership competencies needed to drive the consumer sector in a post-covid era. The Covid-19 pandemic triggered rapid changes in consumer behaviour globally, including increased digitalisation, a rebalancing of life priorities, increased focus on hygiene standards, and a gravitation towards brands that align with their social values.
A pre-Covid head start in digitalisation gave Asian companies an edge above other regions, and companies quick to respond to these sudden changes in their consumer profile saw a massive influx of new customers during the pandemic. The unique challenge leading Asian companies now face is retaining these new customers in the long term, and enabling their companies to be agile and resilient to navigate any future drastic shifts in consumer behaviour.

Speaker: Rob Nunnally, Assistant General Manager, Capital One Philippines
A workplace should always be an avenue for growth, and to ensure that, companies should always push for an environment that is open and limitless for their associates.

In this episode we'll be talking about creating overall wellbeing programs in the workplace with Uploan featuring our special guest Jennifer Simons-Castillo of Uploan and Level Up Podcast.
It’s been more than a year in varying degrees of lockdowns in an effort to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Businesses continue to look into ways to keep operations flowing while keeping their employees feeling safe. Various surveys have gone out to the workforce to see how we can safeguard our employees’ overall well being through employee programs.
For leaders: what should we be looking at or listening to when creating these programs? For employees: what are the important things you should be saying to help in program creation and culture building? It takes two to tango. How do we get both sides to empower each other to make great programs work in the workplace? What we say (or don’t say) make a difference in wellbeing program creation.
Jenn is the communications manager of Uploan Philippines, and is the producer and host of the Level Up Podcast. She is a communications expert, looking for meaningful ways to cultivate employee wellness. Her thrust: Making employee wellness a priority, because it makes business sense.
