In this episode, Mr. Vu Quan Nguyen-Masse, Brand & Culture director ASEAN shares with us how VERO created and rolled out its own Employee Experience across South-East Asia, in an environment and a market that can be toxic.
In today’s pandemic world, it is a real challenge to not being influenced by the catastrophic news, the anxiety towards the future or an ever-increasing pressure from competition. Pulling the prices down and having very short deadline to produce your service are strategies that are widely used in business.
However… Some are adopting other ways to keep their competitive advantage. Today we will see the example of VERO, an agency specialised in digital and Public Relations. Based in ASEAN for 9 years now, they’ve taken on a big challenge in the past years : Crafting their own Employee Experience.

Adaptivity's assessment that we mentionned : https://adaptivity.us/mentorship/assessment/
Trust is one of the most important ingredients in the success of any endeavor. Without it, nothing will get done.
But, often, people in business don't trust each other. They don't trust their employees. They don't trust their vendors. And, most of all, they don't trust themselves or their own ability to deliver.
This is a very dangerous attitude to have. It leads to poor performance and, in some cases, complete stagnation. But, what's even worse, is that when things do go bad, the impact can be devastating! In this episode, we discussed with Mr. Yeoh the #1 reason things go bad in business... and how you can prevent it!
Find out in this episode :
- How to adapt to our fast-paced environment?
