Reclaiming My Time

A Southie's Journey to Work-Life Harmony

Sitting inside a bus going to BGC, I felt so tired and stressed, but then I get to be grateful because I don't have to endure this stress EVERYDAY. Okay, I'm not rich... YET So, as someone who doesn't have a car, I rely on commuting. Working for a company that offers a hybrid setup is truly a blessing because it allows me to reclaim my life. Living in Cavite means early mornings; I'm up at 3 or 4 am to ensure I leave the house by 5. Any later, and I'm stuck in rush hour traffic. Being a "southie," waking up early is just part of life But during my work from home (WFH) days, I get to enjoy a longer sleep. I can spend those early hours doing something meaningful, like so working in the morning, catching up on reading, and preparing my breakfast.

It may seem like just a few hours, but it makes a world of difference for my mental health, personal time, and overall energy levels. This flexibility helps alleviate stress and boosts my productivity. I'm immensely grateful to the companies that still offer hybrid setups to their employees, especially to Asticom. Their commitment to providing a flexible work environment is commendable. Embracing hybrid work models not only enhances productivity but also demonstrates a deep understanding of their employees' well-being.

Asticom's initiative in prioritizing flexibility and work-life balance sets a positive example for other companies. By acknowledging and accommodating the diverse needs and preferences of its workforce, Asticom fosters a culture of support and empowerment. Here's to more companies like Asticom leading the way towards a brighter, more adaptable future of work.
