19 June 2024 In a groundbreaking move, Thailand has become the first nation in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, marking a historic moment for LGBTQ+ rights in the region.

Creating Inclusive Workplaces: Supporting LGBTQIA+ Mental Health and Self-Care Year-Round
11 June 2024 Building Inclusive Workplaces: Supporting LGBTQIA+ 🏳️🌈 Mental Health and Well-BeingLet’s paint a picture: You arrive at work, coffee in hand, ready to conquer the day. But instead of feeling pumped up, there's a knot in your stomach. Will today bring another inappropriate joke from a coworker? Or will a manager's offhand comment sting more than usual? Unfortunately, this nagging sense of dread is the everyday reality for many of our LGBTQIA+ friends and colleaguesWith Pride Month upon us, we need to have an honest conversation about something that we don't talk about enough; the unique struggles that LGBTQIA+ individuals face in their professional lives. From blatant discrimination to subtle jabs to feeling like they must always be on guard, our LGBTQIA+ colleagues carry burdens that many of us can't even fathom.But it doesn't have to be this way. We can create workplaces where every single person, no matter who they love or how they identify, feels valued, respected, and celebrated. And even better, we can move past being performative during Pride, but extend it to a year-round, just part of our daily routine behavior.Why Inclusion MattersInclusion is about recognizing the fundamental dignity and humanity of each and every coworker. So how do we actually create inclusive environments? Talk is cheap. We need to back up our words with real, tangible, concrete action(s). Though not an exhaustive list, here are some suggestions:🏳️🌈Celebrate Diversity:Yes, we’re talking about Pride Month, but recognize that celebrating diversity extends to other notable events. This includes but is not limited to, National Coming Out Day and Transgender Day of Remembrance. Show that diversity is more than just a buzzword. These celebrations highlight the importance of LGBTQIA+ identities and contribute to a culture of inclusion.🏳️🌈Be Open and Supportive:Encourage LGBTQIA+ employees to share their experiences and challenges. Listen actively, respond with empathy, and build trust. Creating a safe space for dialogue is crucial.🏳️🌈Resources, Resources, Resources:Provide resources tailored to the LGBTQIA+ experience. Show a commitment to understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community. This includes access to affirming mental health professionals and support groups.🏳️🌈Inclusion from the Ground Up:Ensure company policies protect and include all LGBTQIA+ staff. Lay the groundwork for a safe and supportive workplace with clear non-discrimination policies and equal benefits.🏳️🌈Education is Key: Hold regular training sessions on LGBTQIA+ issues, unconscious bias, and inclusivity. Equip everyone with the tools to be active allies. Continuous learning fosters empathy and understanding.🏳️🌈Promote Self-Care: Normalize self-care, especially recognizing the unique stressors faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals. Encourage practices that support overall well-being, such as mindfulness workshops and flexible work arrangements.🏳️🌈Power in Numbers: Support Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) for LGBTQIA+ employees. These groups foster community and ensure LGBTQIA+ voices are heard. ERGs (sometimes called Business Resource Groups or BRGs) are vital for advocacy and support.🏳️🌈Take a Break: Encourage mental health days separate from sick leave or vacation. Destigmatize mental health and promote a healthier workplace culture. Recognizing mental health is as important as physical health.🏳️🌈Wellness for All: Ensure wellness initiatives are inclusive for all gender identities and sexual orientations. Show a commitment to the health and well-being of all employees with inclusive programs.🏳️🌈Safe Spaces: Create a physical environment that reflects diversity and inclusivity. Make every employee feel welcome with gender-inclusive facilities and spaces that celebrate diversity.🏳️🌈Words Matter: The words we use have power, especially in the workplace. They can either create a sense of belonging or make someone feel isolated and excluded. That's why it's crucial to use inclusive language that respects and affirms the identities of our LGBTQIA+ colleagues. This includes using correct pronouns, avoiding gendered language when it's not necessary, and steering clear of offensive or outdated terms.Not sure where to start? Check out ManpowerGroup’s “LGBTQIA+ Inclusive #WordsatWork Guide," updated for 2024, for practical tips on how to promote an inclusive work culture through language.Creating inclusive workplaces is a business imperative. When companies embrace diversity, they see real results. We're talking about increased innovation, better problem-solving, higher employee engagement—the list goes on. But more than that, it's about doing the right thing.We have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to turn our words into actions. Let's not just talk about inclusion; let's make it a reality in our workplaces. Let's challenge the status quo. Let's be the allies and advocates our LGBTQIA+ colleagues need. Let's create policies, practices, and cultures that don't just tolerate diversity but embrace it as a strength. Let's commit to creating environments where every LGBTQIA+ individual can thrive, not just survive.It won't be a quick fix or a one-time solution. Building truly inclusive workplaces takes ongoing effort, learning, and growth. But the effort is worth it. Because the endgame culminates with a future where every person, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, feels valued, respected, and celebrated for who they are.That’s what Pride is all about.

Manpower Embraces Diversity in All Dimensions - Age, Race, Education, alongside LGBTQIAN+
5 June 2024 It's not just the LGBTQIAN+ group, but the diversity that ManpowerGroup focuses on includes age, race, and education as well. Manpower treats all these aspects of diversity with equal importance and does not leave anyone behind.On June 3, 2024, Ms. Wanitcha Wiriyakitpatana, the People & Organization Development Manager of ManpowerGroup Thailand, the global leader in workforce solutions and services, was invited to speak at the BANGKOK PRIDE FORUM 2024 organized by The Better. The forum was titled "LGBTQIAN+ Understanding the Power of Diversity in Everyone." In her speech, Ms. Wanitcha discussed the topic "Empowering the Organization with the Power of LGBTQIAN+." She emphasized how accepting and understanding the diverse identities of LGBTQIAN+ individuals can break down the limitations caused by gender stereotyping, and how eliminating bias can unleash everyone's full potential without the constraints of social discrimination.Ms. Wanitcha introduced ManpowerGroup Thailand, stating, "As ManpowerGroup is an organization that recruits people into the labor market, we can provide jobs for more than 20,000 individuals each year. Therefore, the labor market today is much more diverse, not only in terms of gender but also in terms of race, religion, education, and personality." While acknowledging that Thai society is becoming more open and accepting, Ms. Wanitcha recognized that the root causes of inequality and inequity stem from various factors, such as our own norms and beliefs about who should occupy certain positions, as well as personal biases. To address these inequalities, Ms. Wanitcha emphasized the importance of self-reflection and respect. "Before talking about the organization, I want everyone to look at themselves first. We need to recognize that this is a normal, natural occurrence that can happen to anyone. The essential thing is to respect ourselves, respect who we are, and respect others." Regarding how LGBTQIAN+ individuals can gain more acceptance, Ms. Wanitcha suggested a three-pronged approach. First, the individual must recognize that they are already accepted, and focus on how they perceive it. Second, the family institution, as the closest unit, must open its heart and understand and accept each other. Third, the organization, where colleagues and supervisors must be open-minded and focus on one's capabilities rather than biases. Ms. Wanitcha Wiriyakitpatana also highlighted the importance of self-expression, stating that one's expression is already supported, but it must be done with respect for the environment and have professionalism. She emphasized that expression is not limited to clothing but also includes expressing opinions, which can foster innovation and positive synergy. Regarding organizational support, Ms. Wanicha mentioned policies such as non-discrimination in recruitment, equal treatment of all employees, and inclusive orientation programs. Additionally, the organization has updated its insurance policies to provide coverage for employees and their partners, regardless of gender. Furthermore, Ms. Wanitcha stressed the importance of having channels for employees to report any incidents of unfairness, allowing both victims and witnesses to voice their concerns so that the organization can investigate and address the issues.

The Pros and Cons of Work from Home organization should consider
9 May 2024 The sudden emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019 acted as a catalyst, propelling many organizations worldwide to adopt work-from-home (WFH) practices as a substitute for the traditional office environment. As a result, WFH has transformed from a temporary solution into a global trend, with both businesses and employees recognizing its numerous advantages.Statistics from Forbes show that 12.7% of American full-time employees work from home, 28.2% have adapted to a hybrid work model, and 32.6 million Americans will shift to work from home in 2025. This projection presents significant changes in the global workforce.So, the question is: Should your organization consider applying a work-from-home model ? Here is your handbook to discover the work-from-home advantages and disadvantages.What is Work From Home?Work from home is a flexible arrangement that allows employees to work remotely, whether from home or any other location. It provides both potential advantages and disadvantages. Accordingly, organizations are advised to carefully evaluate its implications.Pros of Work From HomeWork-from-home arrangements offer multifaceted benefits to both organizations and employees, including:1.Increased ProductivityWork-from-home increases employee productivity by reducing commute time and in-office distractions. In addition, it offers a work-life balance lifestyle and flexibility for employees to manage their work schedules.2.Cost ReductionWork-from-home models have the potential to significantly reduce organizational costs associated with office space rental, utilities, and equipment. Besides, it can reduce commuting expenses for employees.3.Globally Access to Talented IndividualsEmbracing work-from-home positions expands an organization's access to global talent individuals, enhancing the potential to recruit highly skilled employees worldwide.4.Reducing Work Absences Due to StressWorkplace absences due to stress are increasingly becoming an issue for organizations worldwide. To counter this challenge, adopting work-from-home practices can offer employees the flexibility to work from home when feeling stressed and unmotivated to go to the office.Cons of Work From HomeDespite its advantages, a work-from-home model might not align with the needs and structure of every organization, given its disadvantages, including:1.Mental HealthLack of in-person social interaction with colleagues can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness for some employees which negatively affect their mental well-being.2.Communication and CollaborationA work-from-home model requires a robust structure and implementation of effective technological tools for communication, collaboration, and management.3.Risk of OverworkingThe lack of physical separation between home and office can contribute to overwork among employees due to factors such as unclear boundaries, an unhealthy work culture, and other pressures.4.Increase Costs for EmployeesTo minimize distractions and enhance focus and productivity in a work-from-home environment, employees may need to invest in appropriate home office equipment and facilities or consider utilizing co-working spaces.Is “Work From Home” Suitable for Your Organization?There is no universal answer. Determining whether a work-from-home model is appropriate for your organization requires a nuanced assessment of several key factors. Below are essential considerations to inform your decision;1.Feedback from EmployeesTo ensure an informed decision about the viability of a work-from-home model, it is necessary to gather feedback from your employees. Understanding the diverse experiences and preferences of your workforce is essential, as satisfaction with remote work can differ among individuals.2.Performance ImpactsIndustries dependent on physical facilities and processes, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and production, may find a traditional in-office model more conducive to success. Conversely, sectors like software development, IT support, and online education have the potential to achieve superior performance outcomes through a work-from-home structure.3.Well-Planned StrategiesA successful implementation of a work-from-home model requires the organization to establish well-defined strategies for managing work processes. Additionally, the organization needs to provide employees with the necessary software and equipment for their home offices.Traditional in-office and work-from-home models each offer distinct advantages. To address this, many organizations are adopting a "hybrid work" approach, where employees alternate between in-office and remote work throughout the week. Additionally, partnering with a reputable recruitment agency can expand the organization's access to a global talent workforce.ManpowerGroup, Your Trusted Recruitment Agency in ThailandManpower is a recruitment company in Thailand.

THE TRUE PURPOSE OF WORK REVEALED: 98% OF SOUTHEAST ASIANS WANT MEANING AT WORK
25 April 2024 Singapore (25 April 2024) - 98% of Southeast Asians (SEA) say that meaning at work is important to them and more than half (53%) of them are planning to take action to achieve it. Released today by job platform Jobs_that_makesense Asia, and global recruitment agency Manpower, the study polled largely working adults as well as a smaller group of tertiary students (17%) poised to enter the workforce. The report, titled: “The Quest for Meaning at Work", is the very first Southeast Asia-focused research survey on the pursuit of meaning at work. The report explores the responses of 2,023 participants from six key Southeast Asian countries and aims to define what meaningful work means to today’s workforce. When looking for a new job, nearly half of the respondents (45%) have identified salary and financial stability as their top priority. And one in three respondents said that maintaining a positive work-life balance is becoming increasingly important for professional fulfilment. Significantly, the pursuit of a high salary is not driven by the quest for material wealth but rather by the aim to provide comfort and security for one’s family. Unfortunately, the report shows only one in five (21%) of SEA respondents is “very satisfied” with the level of purpose in their current role, demonstrating a significant opportunity for organizations who want to set themselves apart in the tight talent market.

THE TRUE PURPOSE OF WORK REVEALED: 96% OF THAIS WANT MEANING AT WORK
25 April 2024 Thailand (25 April 2024) – 96% of Thailand respondents say that meaning at work is important to them and 53% of them are planning to take action to achieve it. Released today by job platform Jobs_that_makesense Asia, and global recruitment agency Manpower, the study polled largely working adults as well as a smaller group of tertiary students (1%) poised to enter the workforce. The report, titled: “The quest for meaning at work", is the very first Southeast Asia-focused research survey on the pursuit of meaning at work. The report explores the responses of 2,023 participants from six key Southeast Asian countries and aims to define what meaningful work means to today’s workforce. 430 in Thailand participated in this survey.

Two out of five respondents place a high value on career advancement and personal growth. And one out of three respondents said that maintaining a positive work-life balance is becoming increasingly important for professional fulfillment. Significantly, the pursuit of a high salary is not driven by the quest for material wealth but rather by the aim to provide comfort and security for one’s family. Unfortunately, the report shows only 16% of Thailand respondents are “very satisfied” with the level of purpose in their current role, demonstrating a significant opportunity for organizations who want to set themselves apart in the tight talent market.

Embracing the Spirit of Songkran at Our Office: A Heartfelt Celebration!
17 April 2024 In the heart of Thailand, amidst the hustle and bustle of professional life, ManpowerGroup Thailand recently took a momentous pause to honor and celebrate the cherished tradition of Songkran. This year, our office was imbued with the spirit of this beautiful festival, known for its profound cultural significance and joyous celebrations. It was a day when the air was filled not just with the anticipation of the coming year but also with the fragrance of scented water and the sweetness of Thai delicacies. A Tradition Honored Songkran, Thailand's most famous festival, marks the beginning of the Thai New Year. It is a time for renewal, cleansing, and expressing gratitude. Keeping this tradition alive within our corporate walls, we organized a special session that brought our staff together in a heartfelt celebration of culture and community. The highlight of our celebration was the ceremonial sprinkling of scented water on the Buddha statues. This act is a symbol of purification and prosperity, inviting good luck for the year ahead. In addition, our team members had the opportunity to pour scented water over the hands of our revered elders, a gesture of respect and a way to seek their blessings. These rituals remind us of the importance of gratitude, humility, and the value of blessings in our lives. Bridging Distances Adding to the joy and unity of the occasion, our colleagues from other branches joined the celebration virtually through MS TEAMS. This integration of technology allowed us to bridge the physical distances between us, ensuring that no one missed out on the joy of the festival. The smiles and laughter shared across the screens were a testament to the strong bond and camaraderie that define our team at ManpowerGroup Thailand. Sweetening the Day The celebration was made even more delightful with an array of Thai sweets prepared for our amazing staff. From the creamy richness of *khanom krok* to the sweet and savory flavors of *mango sticky rice*, the variety of sweets served was a treat to the senses and added a layer of sweetness to the day's festivities. A Toast to the Year Ahead As we wrapped up our Songkran celebration, our hearts were full of joy, our spirits rejuvenated, and our bonds strengthened. This festival, with its emphasis on renewal, respect, and unity, reflects the values we hold dear at ManpowerGroup Thailand. It was a reminder that amidst our daily routines and professional responsibilities, taking the time to celebrate our culture and connect with one another on a human level is invaluable. Here's to a year filled with joy, health, and success for all! May the spirit of Songkran inspire us to embrace each day with positivity, gratitude, and a sense of community. We hope you enjoyed this glimpse into our Songkran celebration at ManpowerGroup Thailand. As we move forward, we carry with us the lessons and blessings of this beautiful tradition, ready to face the challenges and opportunities of the new year with open hearts and renewed spirits.
