Investing In People
Over the past 20 years, Avida's workforce has grown alongside the company, constantly adapting to the changing business landscape. The Avida organization is divided into seven units, that include the Office of the President, Finance, Project and Strategic Management, Supply Chain Management , Marketing and Sales, Human Resources and Customer Care , and Technical Services , adding up to a close to 200-strong workforce.
The delivery of the five pillars encapsulated by Avida's brand promise relies on Avida's workforce, and Avida values the members of its organization by promoting their growth and development and by providing an environment that fosters creativity, professionalism, and productivity as well as competitive salaries and benefits.
Avida's employees serve as brand stewards, and each unit contributes to the fulfillment of its brand promise. Avida invests in people to embody its corporate values: embody its corporate values: integrity, commitment, quality, customer orientation, and teamwork.
In managing performance and productivity, objectives and measures are clearly identified and training programs are in place to achieve the expected results. Trainings in brand championing are consistently given, while foundational training programs reinforce the values the employees have to live up to. Competency and other needs-based training programs are also provided to ensure the professional growth of our employees.
Being a housing company, Avida also opens the option for employees to avail of Avida properties with product discounts and special offerings.
Avida also maintains an open line of communication with its staff, adapting communication as a way of life with an open-door policy across levels. They hold regular ‘kapihan,' breakfasts with the President, and town hall meetings to update employees on the latest business developments and challenges. These are also venues for employees to voice out suggestions and thoughts about the business, as well as ways for the company to improve its systems and processes.
It's not all work for the Avida employees, however, as wellness programs enable them to strike the balance between work and life. Avida has special interest clubs, an annual health fair, sports fests, family-oriented activities and corporate social responsibility programs.
Avida wants to create the best possible work environment for its employees to enjoy working in the company motivate them to assume higher levels of responsibility within the organization in the future.
