Entering the lobby at The Globe Tower can seem like a mundane activity that most Ka-Globe start their day with. But sometimes it stops you in its tracks.
“Create Everyday Possibilities” are the first words that pop up as you enter the ground floor, with shelves full of different items to interact with. One can’t help but look at the flashing lights of a digital clock with floating numbers or put your finger between a levitating light bulb or flower pot.
Even simple blocks were something people would grab to play around with. It invites a childlike wonder for Ka-Globe, and their children wanted in on it.
“My daughter who’s visited me in the office twice since this was installed says thank you! Newfound entertainment at the lobby ☺️💙 Good reminder too that adults need to play to retain that creative spark at work. Also my kid did the whole random-ball thingy (Create Good Vibes), but she had to do something for me as a result. So I asked her to make me tea. She got so kilig haha. Loved the installation!”
— Paula Jalosjos, Manager - Integrated Communications
Going around the hexagon, the next panel is where you can declare what you want to create using colorful letter magnets. It’s a fun reminder that each day presents an opportunity to create something great, whether it’s a “Globe of Good” or “memories.”
“The phrase ‘Today, I will create _______’ represents the potential for numerous affirmations and commitments, symbolized by a word cloud. Despite the chaotic arrangement of letters, once you focus on what you want to create, the right words will naturally emerge. This mirrors our work environment — when we have a clear vision of our goals, we can overcome the noise and obstacles, and eventually achieve our objectives. Clarity and determination bring success, no matter the challenges. In my case, I wrote "Today, I will create a new path."
— Blue Sta. Maria, Senior Expert - People and Culture
The following panel, Create with Purpose, shows a six-by-six grid of colorful notes that can be taken by any Ka-Globe to keep or given to others.
A lot of people did the right thing and grabbed a note!
“Do The Right Thing — this value aligns with my life's value, a strong indicator that I'm in good company that is aligned with how I want to grow, create, and contribute.”
— Marc Manalastas, Director - Product Experience Architecture
“At Globe, the work that we do impacts the lives of the Filipino people. We do what’s right and strive to create the best lives for ourselves and for everyone. We create with purpose to help you find yours. #CreateWithPurpose #CreateEverydayPossibilities.”
— Johann Balmaceda, Manager - Employee Engagement
“Tak tak tak” go the sounds of the Create Good Vibes wall where Ka-Globe can drop pingpong balls through the slots. At the bottom where the ball lands, Ka-Globe can get challenges to accomplish for the day to spread good vibes for themselves or for others.
Some people took the challenges seriously, with exhausting consequences!
“‘Use the stairs to go to your floor.’ Happy Wednesday, TGT! The challenge feels appropriate today hehehe! #CreateGoodVibes #CreateEverydayPossibilities #KatuwaanLang”
— Julio Abraham, Expert - Employee Experience
Do you remember when your parents would post your simple drawings on the fridge with a ref magnet? Maybe you do the same with your kids now? The opportunity to revisit this experience is what Share Your Creations is about!
“The origami, drawings, and quotes are all snap-worthy, but the one that stood out to me the most was the collaborative poetry that happened with the magnets on the board. Beside the W and the whale magnet is a delicious pun and alliteration (whale... whale... whale...) and right below it is the H magnet is a witty ditty (horse responsible for this?!).
— Mark Dimaisip, Senior Manager - Employee Experience
And finally, rounding out the hexagon is an ever-changing set of papers for Ka-Globe to Create Together.
But did you catch the secret 7th side of the hexagon?
At the end of the day, the quote below sums up what it means to Create at Globe.
“With Globe, I get to create limitless possibilities. I am empowered to make everyday extraordinary.✨💙”
— Nico Bambao, Vice President - People Experience
