DESCRIPTION OF THE TALK
Perfect
Blend
is an original musical play that became the vehicle for
propagating the practice of work values in PLDT during the
company's 75th year anniversary. The plot revolves around
six friends from different departments who regularly meets
in a coffee shop and share experiences and insights on
teamwork, open communication, mental integrity, financial
honesty, customer focus and job commitment. Staged thrice at
the Carlos P. Romulo theatre, the production proved
historical for its fresh and trailblazing approach in
motivating teams with a lot of positive attitudinal
reinforcement. |
