As another year draws to a close, the team at NIPSEA Group has been reflecting on their personal and professional journeys. From launching innovative web pages to navigating the complexities of international collaboration, 2024 has been a year filled with accomplishments, learning, and team spirit.

\n<\/span>Celebrating Successes: Big and Small<\/b><\/p>\n

One of the year’s key highlights was the successful launch of the NPS Career Webpage, spearheaded by <\/span>Sharin Huang<\/b> from HR. “The career webpage<\/a> features talents from the company and aims to attract other talents to join us,” she shares. This initiative not only showcases the incredible people within the company but also strengthens our employer brand.

Melodie Yap<\/b> from Communications & CSR achieved a significant personal milestone by freezing her eggs. ” It gave me the freedom to focus on living life without the pressure of the biological clock,” she explains. This highlights the company’s supportive and understanding environment that encourages employees to consider all of their options when it comes to family planning.

Forging Bonds Beyond Borders<\/b><\/p>\n

Melodie<\/b> also recounts her experience organising a regional CSR volunteering programme in Sarawak, Malaysia, as one of her most cherished memories. “It was an unforgettable experience as we connected with colleagues from around the world on a personal and emotional level outside of the work environment,” she says. “Happy tears were shed during heartfelt sharing sessions, creating memories I will always treasure.” This initiative underscores the importance of human connection and the power of shared experiences in building a strong, unified team.

\n<\/span>Embracing Challenges and Learning Curves<\/b><\/p>\n

For <\/span>Finian Ho<\/b> from Group Marketing, 2024 was “The Adventure of Learning.” He proudly launched the new “N” Lockup visual element across all entities, an initiative to standardise the company’s global social media presence. He describes the year as “a thrilling journey of self-discovery,” where he stepped outside his comfort zone and tackled new challenges. His adoption of the principles from the book Atomic Habits reflects a shift towards building sustainable systems for achieving goals, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Florence Qiang<\/b> of Nippon Paint China’s PR Department reflects on her year akin to the TV series “Friends,” filled with daily adventures and collaborative efforts. She played a key role in the Two Brushes Award Ceremony, achieving a satisfaction rate of over 90% among 800 participating employees and the China International Import Expo (CIIE). “It was the first time facing so many central-level media and government delegations,” she notes, highlighting these events’ growth opportunities.

Looking Ahead: Aspirations and Ambitions<\/b><\/p>\n

The team is brimming with optimism for the future. They envision continued growth, innovative product development, and a strengthened brand reputation. As <\/span>Quang Van<\/b> puts it, he hopes for “sustainable growth” across all business sectors and the development of “new products that meet market demands in terms of quality and cost.” He also advocates for enhancing the company’s brand image through various channels and improving the quality of human resources by continuously training and developing necessary skills for staff members. <\/span>Florence<\/b> echoes this sentiment, expressing her hope for “more opportunities to maintain communication with our overseas colleagues and learn together in areas such as sustainability and marketing.” <\/span>Finian<\/b> shares his aspiration to “standardise our global social media appearance across different social media platforms.” <\/span>Thuy Trang<\/b> hopes NIPSEA Group will “continue to offer short training courses for employees on knowledge, skills, and industry-specific languages related to various departments.” She believes this will “enhance individual capabilities” and contribute to the company’s overall development.

Personal Growth and the Pursuit of Balance<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond professional goals, the team is committed to continuous learning and personal development. <\/span>Thuy Trang<\/b> expresses her desire to “learn more languages” and further develop her Marketing and Business Administration skills. <\/span>Quang Van<\/b> plans to enhance his leadership skills, learn Chinese and Japanese, and even take up golf to better connect with clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team also recognises the importance of work-life balance. Melodie<\/b> emphasises the need to “identify the methods that work best for you to manage anxiety and stress, as well as to maintain proper sleep.” Whether enjoying a chilled beer, jogging, cooking a meal for loved ones, or pursuing creative hobbies like Finian’s<\/b> baking and hairstyling or Melodie’s diving, everyone has their unique way of unwinding.
