Jean Henri Lhuillier Says Employee Empowerment Holds Key to Company Success 16 Mar 2024, 9:11 pm

Archpresspk | Jean Henri Lhuillier Says Employee Empowerment Holds Key to Company Success | From a one-branch pawnshop with a single-minded goal to empower disadvantaged Filipinos across the country through financial inclusion and mobility, Cebuana Lhuillier has transformed itself throughout the years into one of the leading and largest financial services companies in the Philippines today.

According to Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier, the value they give their employees holds the key to the company’s grit and success.

Jean Henri Lhuillier acclaims that Cebuana Lhuillier has been able to build and propagate a company culture based on the core values of Innovation, Respect, Integrity, Teamwork, Excellence and Social Responsibility. By having these values introduced and instilled into the workplace, Cebuana Lhuillier has been able to create a team that works harmoniously towards accomplishing a common goal. This workplace culture enables Cebuana Lhuillier to create and offer the best products in the market, provide clients with the excellent service they deserve, cultivate productive relationships with stakeholders and build goodwill with the community.

Jean Henri also gives particular mention to Cebuana Lhuillier employees and says he considers them to be the company’s greatest asset and a big reason for its success. Jean Henri Lhuillier adds that Cebuana Lhuillier understands the importance of holding on to such a valuable resource and has instituted several policies to ensure that employees are well cared for. Beyond the paycheck and benefits, Cebuana Lhuillier regularly engages with employees through cultural campaign programs designed to improve their overall health and well-being.Moreover, it has established a good rapport with employees by instituting programs that empower employees to share feedback and make suggestions through programs like Hackathon, Eurekathon, and  Innovation in Systems, Innovation in Processes (ISIP), among others. Through these initiatives, officials can take note of the suggested company processes and systems and have the winning entries implemented across the entire company.

Cebuana Lhuillier also supports employees who want to improve on their career path by investing in employees’ further education, training and development. By making sure that every Ka-Cebuana’sknowledge and understanding of the business is complete and continuously improved, Cebuana Lhuillier has opted for two main ways to support how employees can obtain a sense of fulfillment while working. 

One of these is the launching of the Cebuana Lhuillier Academy Online (CLAO) where employees can access not just orientation courses but also other valuable online courses that they can use to expound their knowledge for free. Another is the Cebuana Lhuillier Academy facility in Antipolo City where leadership and sales trainings as well as workshops are held among employees and even ManComm members. Aside from those, the company also supports and funds any external training that will contribute to the employee’s personal and professional development. That way, they can promote a culture that stimulates happiness and imparts a sense of fulfilment.

Rewarding outstanding employees is also important in the CebuanaLhuillier culture as it hosts several awarding ceremonies that aim to recognize its employees every now and then. But the most anticipated one among all is the annually held “Brillo” which recognizes the best Ka-Cebuanas for their remarkable performances and for going above and beyond their duty through the Loyalty Awards, Business Unit Awards, Innovation in Systems, Innovation in Processes (ISIP) and CX Excellence Awards, Individual Awards and Group Awards. 

CebuanaLhuillier truly believes that celebrating employees who are committed to the company’s mission, vision, values, and purpose is imperative not only for the success of the company but more so, for their own individual progress.

Jo-Ann Tacorda, First Vice President and Group Head of Corporate Services, says, “Here at Cebuana Lhuillier, we always make sure to implement systems and programs that will positively impact the employee’s performance and well being.  With that we stay committed in providing them with an inclusive working environment where they can get a personal sense of accomplishment while doing their respective tasks.”

Jean Henri Lhuillier enthused: “I am very proud of the 10-thousand strong Cebuana Lhuillier workforce. Cebuana Lhuillier would never have attained this kind of growth and longevity were it not for the immense contributions of Cebuana Lhuillier employees who have been empowered to maximize their abilities to the hilt. As Cebuana Lhuillier continues its mission to empower as many Filipinos as possible, so shall we continue to strive to make every employee feel how much they’re valued, not just as members of our organization but as citizens who envision a better future for themselves and the whole nation”.

Sennheiser invests in Norwegian scale-up business sensiBel 26 Feb 2024, 8:38 am

Archpresspk |Sennheiser invests in Norwegian scale-up business sensiBel | Pioneering scale-up manufactures optical MEMS microphones which demonstrate first-class sound quality at just a few millimeters in size. | SINGAPORE, Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sennheiser, together with existing investors, is investing 7 million euros in the Norwegian scale-up business sensiBel. The company has developed optical MEMS microphones which demonstrate first-class sound quality despite their miniature size. The miniature microphones enable a completely new and improved experience in application areas such as consumer electronics, automotive, conferencing solutions, and medical devices.

Constantly building the future of the audio world and creating exceptional sound experiences – that is the aspiration that drives the Sennheiser Group. Driven by this aim, the family-owned company is further expanding its strong position as a provider of professional audio solutions. “We want to grow sustainably as a company. In addition to investments in our existing business, this also includes investments in promising future fields outside of our company, providing these align well to our company and our vision,” explains Co-CEO Daniel Sennheiser. Andreas Sennheiser adds: “sensiBel’s innovative optical MEMS technology is clearly this type of promising emerging field. As investors, we look forward to actively driving forward this groundbreaking development.”

sensiBel has developed a miniature microphone using optical technology that enables a generational shift in MEMS microphone performance, which is now sampling with lead customers. “sensiBel shares the same vision as Sennheiser and we are proud to welcome Sennheiser as investor,” says sensiBel CEO Sverre Dale Moen. He continues: “We believe an investment from such a highly recognized audio company speaks of the merits of the technology and the potential for optical MEMS technology to shape the future of miniature microphones.”

The distinctive feature of sensiBel’s unique technology is the use of light waves to measure the movement of the diaphragm. By contrast, conventional MEMS microphones measure an electric field between the moving diaphragm and a backplate. In sensiBel’s optical system however, a laser generates light beams that are projected onto the microphone membrane and reflected on a photo detector. The reflected beams are captured and processed in an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) with a digital output data interface. In contrast to the conventional method, this new technology makes it possible to measure very small movements and therefore capture very low noise levels – even when there is a high level of loud background noise. Additionally, the optical MEMS microphone can withstand high sound pressure levels providing a large dynamic range to the users. As a result, the microphones generate significantly better sound quality than previous MEMS solutions on the market – with a specification of 80 dBA SNR (14 dBA noise floor), 132 dB dynamic range, 24-bit digital output, and with low power consumption, while being just as compact.

Industry Report: Online Gambling in PH 2024 26 Feb 2024, 3:14 am

Archpresspk | Industry Report: Online Gambling in PH 2024 | Online gambling in the Philippines is a thriving and rapidly changing industry that has attracted millions of people from all over the world. With the ability to gamble from the comfort of one’s own home, digital betting platforms provide an irresistible combination of ease, entertainment, and financial gain. Is there any hope for this sector going forward, though? Our investigation on the potential shifts, developments, and forecasts in this Southeast Asian country’s online gaming scene is extensive.

Upcoming Trends in Online Gambling for 2024

It is crucial to look at what the future holds for online gambling. Predicting the future requires knowledge of how rules, legislation, and consumer tastes are evolving. To make educated decisions, stakeholders, ranging from casual players to serious investors, must know what is ahead. Can we expect mobile gaming’s skyrocketing success to last? What effect will new rules have on business? To give you a better idea of what to anticipate in 2024 and beyond, we want to investigate questions like these.

The following sections will provide an in-depth analysis of the present situation of online gambling in the Philippines, beginning with an overview of the country’s regulatory environment and moving on to identify the market leaders. We will then shift our focus to examining new developments, such as innovative technology and changing player habits, that have the potential to revolutionize the gaming industry. In addition, we will compare and contrast the best online gambling brands, discuss what makes them successful, and highlight the top brands.

We will shed light on future growth trajectories and possible obstacles as we get closer to peering into the crystal ball and making predictions. As a final step, we will provide practical suggestions for different parties involved and close with a call to action to get you involved in this ever-changing subject. As we set off on this educational adventure together, fasten your seatbelts and prepare to find out what the future of online gambling in the Philippines has in store. How about we get going?

Online Gambling Scene in the Philippines

Peering into the complicated and ever-changing realm of online gambling in the Philippines is like stepping into a colorful carnival. But where does this virtual playground stand right now? Now we can get into the nitty-gritty of how Filipinos are using online betting sites.

Current State of the Industry

There is a special connection between internet gambling and the Philippines. There is a hospitable and highly controlled environment in which the sector functions. Bingo, tong-its, and other traditional games as well as more contemporary slot machines and card games are available for both locals and visitors to enjoy. The varied character of the Filipino internet gaming industry is reflected in this combination of modern and traditional elements.

The ease of playing gambling games online has contributed to its meteoric rise in popularity. Not only can you play from the comfort of your own home, but you can also tap into a vast marketplace of games and betting possibilities from all over the world. A rising number of Filipinos are drawn to the online gambling scene by its accessibility and the promise of potentially huge victories.

Its ambitions to become a digital powerhouse are evident in the meteoric rise of online gambling in the Philippines. There are social and regulatory concerns with rapid expansion. The industry could realize its full economic potential while safeguarding public welfare if these concerns were addressed in a balanced manner.

Framework for Regulation

The Philippines Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates as the regulatory body. Online gambling and all other forms of gaming in the country are overseen by this government-owned business. By enforcing stringent regulations, PAGCOR encourages responsible gaming and prevents unlawful gambling.

The purpose of PAGCOR’s regulations is to ensure a secure gambling environment for players. Licenses and regular audits are necessities for operations. By keeping an eye on things, this regulation makes sure that online gambling sites are legitimate and gives players peace of mind.

Key Players and Brands

There are a handful of well-known businesses in the Philippines’ thriving online gaming industry. These major players have made a name for themselves thanks to their intuitive interfaces, large game libraries, and stringent safety features. Bet365, BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, Casino Plus, Pinnacle, and 888 Casino are well-known names in the Philippines’ betting industry.

These companies have a good grasp of the Filipino market and frequently provide games that are tailored to Filipino preferences. To attract new clients and keep the ones they already have, they frequently run promotions and offer bonuses. These names in online gaming have carved out sizable niches for themselves thanks to smart marketing and customer-centric services.

Among these businesses, DigiPlus Interactive Corporation (DigiPlus) has been holding sway in the Philippine online gaming sector. DigiPlus is a Philippine Stock Exchange-listed corporation that was incorporated on October 10, 1957, as Atlas Fertilizer Corporation. Digital sports betting platform ArenaPlus and live streaming bingo game BingoPlus nearly tripled DigiPlus’s earnings to P16 billion last year, thanks to increasing user traffic. This was after rigorous promotion and marketing. With its extensive distribution network of local entertainment facilities, a variety of products and games, and world-class multi-gaming platforms, the company asserts its dominance in the Philippine retail gaming market.

DigiPlus owns BingoPlus and ArenaPlus, and BingoPlus likely also manages CasinoPlus. In 2024, these three might be the most popular choices for online gaming and gambling in the Philippines.

To back its ambitions and strategies, DigiPlus recently finished a private placement of PHP1.85 billion in Q1 2023, as mentioned in a post. To fund the expansion of BingoPlus and on-site electronic gaming, the firm borrowed PHP3.0 billion. VIP gaming clubs and EGM halls are operated by DigiPlus’s wholly-owned units at Philippine casinos. It provides bingo and has licenses for online games.

E-games will be delivered by 23 licensed gaming system service providers by 2023, according to PhilStar. Reportedly popular sites include Bet88, OkBet, Instawin, and Gamezone. Bingo Plus, Solaire Online, Casino Plus, Thunderbird Online Casino, Okada Online Casino, and Winford are nine more reputable remote gambling sites. Go to the PAGCOR site to get a list of all the online gambling companies in the Philippines.

Also according to Pagcor, the industry can expect continued growth in the next five years, with at least one Integrated Resort (IR) opening every year starting this year in Quezon City, followed by new IRs in Cebu, Clark, and other strategic locations.

Comparing Services Across Platforms

Distinct variations exist in the realm of services. Some sites cater specifically to sports bettors by providing in-play betting and live broadcasts, while others provide a wide variety of casino games like slots and tables. Many players seek out platforms that offer a wide variety of gambling options in a single, easy-to-use interface. The attractiveness of a platform is heavily influenced by factors like its mobile app, user-friendliness of design, and variety of payment alternatives.

Success Factors

The success of well-known Philippine online gaming firms is due to multiple factors. Users will have faith in a system that is well-regulated since it guarantees safety and fair play. Customer service, bonuses, and loyalty programs are other hallmarks of popular brands that succeed in attracting and retaining customers. Also, marketers may connect with Filipino gamers on a deeper level by catering to their tastes, such as providing local games like Tongits or Pusoy.

Emerging Trends

There is no such thing as a static online gambling scene in the Philippines. The regulatory framework laid out by PAGCOR has set the stage for new developments and changes in consumer behavior. The future of this exciting business is being shaped by the current trends, so let’s explore them.

Analyzing the Current Trends

The first trend is the meteoric rise of mobile gaming. According to Statista, gambling is only one of many forms of entertainment that Filipinos are increasingly enjoying on their cell phones. Many Filipinos lead hectic lives, so the ability to play games on the move is a godsend. In addition, there has been a recent uptick in the popularity of social gambling games, which offer realistic simulations of gambling without the monetary stakes. Many people are getting their start on these sites, and then they move on to playing games for real money.

Technological Advancements at Play

Technology, the driving force behind many industries, is dramatically influencing online gambling. We’re witnessing the rise of blockchain technology, offering transparency in transactions and enhancing security — a major concern for players and regulators alike. Another game-changer has been the advent of live dealer games that provide an immersive experience reminiscent of being in a physical casino, appealing to those who seek authenticity.

Let’s not forget about artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These technologies are reshaping online gambling through personalized gaming experiences. Platforms can now offer game recommendations, betting tips, and even responsible gambling prompts based on player behavior patterns.

Consumer Behavior Shifts

Who are the individuals behind the scenes, though? The way Filipino consumers act is changing. More and more people are looking for diverse gaming experiences, such as virtual sports and esports betting. Expanding their horizons beyond local offers, Filipinos are also shown a keen interest in international lottery games.

Responsible gambling techniques are in high demand, which is another interesting trend. More and more, players are realizing the dangers of gambling and are grateful for platforms that let them self-regulate with features like deposit limitations and self-exclusion.

All things considered, technical advancements and changing customer expectations have put the Philippines’ online gaming sector at a crossroads. With 2024 quickly approaching, these trends will most certainly dictate the course of the industry, opening doors for operators and players alike to push online gambling to new heights.

Predictions for 2024

Looking into the digital crystal ball, what does the future hold for the Philippines’ online gambling scene in the year 2024? Considering the ever-changing nature of our profession, this question is more than simply a passing thought. In the preceding section, we got a look at the most popular brands in the Philippines’ online gambling industry. Moving forward, let’s examine the possible growth paths, obstacles, and opportunities that could influence the industry in the years to come.

Growth and Evolution

The horizon for online gambling in the Philippines is one that appears to be expanding at an impressive pace. Industry analysts suggest a continued upward trajectory in user engagement, spurred on by technological advancements and increasing internet penetration. The introduction of new gaming formats, alongside the integration of virtual reality and blockchain technologies, could lead to even more immersive and secure gaming experiences.

In 2024, the predicted earnings in the Philippines’ online gambling industry to exceed $680 million. The 2024 online sports betting market is expected to be worth US$339.40m.

As the digital economy grows, so too does the potential revenue from online gambling—making it an ever-more enticing sector for both local and foreign investors.

Challenges and Opportunities

However, dealing with a complicated regulatory landscape is an unavoidable issue that comes along with expansion. While PAGCOR is in charge of the business at the moment, new rules will be necessary as the market grows to handle issues like responsible gambling, data protection, and fraud prevention. Conversely, this expanding industry is ripe with opportunities for new job creation and technological advancement, providing a plethora of niches for both new and seasoned companies to carve out.

The mobile gaming industry is another promising area. Operators in the Philippines who can optimize their platforms for mobile use will have a considerable competitive advantage, thanks to the increasing prevalence of smartphones in the country. Meanwhile, everyone involved needs to keep working on finding new ways to tackle problems like preventing addiction and making sure everyone plays by the rules.

What to Expect from Stakeholders

• For Players: Keep informed and educated on the resources for responsible gambling and the reliability of platforms. Participating in communities that encourage honesty and provide resources for those struggling with gambling addiction is vital.
• For Operators: Take advantage of new tech that makes things safer and better for users. To gain people’s trust, it’s important to provide strong customer service and implement open policies.
• For Regulators: Create flexible regulations that protect participants and keep the sector honest without limiting expansion. To keep the Philippine market competitive on a global scale, it is important to work with foreign organizations to implement best practices.
• For Industry Observers: Observe patterns, monitor trends, and communicate results and observations. The discussion and the industry’s path toward sustainable development are both influenced by industry analyses.

Looking ahead, the future of online gambling in the Philippines is very dependent on finding the right mix of regulation and innovation. The Philippines has a chance to become a world leader in online gambling if it cultivates an environment that supports both of these things.

Moving Forward

Take a minute to review the key points made in this article as we come to a close to our exploration of the ever-changing realm of online gambling in the Philippines. We have surveyed the dynamic present-day environment, where an abundance of opportunities awaits businesses thanks to a concoction of regulatory standards and fierce brand competition. From new technologies that aim to improve the user experience to changes in consumer behavior that mandate market shifts, we have covered all the upcoming trends that will impact this online gambling industry in the future.

Particularly in a dynamic field like online gambling, it is critical to keep up with the latest developments. New technology, rules, and player preferences are always changing the playing field. Whether they’re newcomers or seasoned pros, stakeholders can benefit from being updated on these changes so they can make considered decisions. The capacity to adjust to these changing factors while placing a premium on honesty, openness, and responsible gaming will determine the fate of online gambling in the Philippines.

There is always more to discover and talk about, whether you’re just starting or are an old hand trying to keep up with the latest trends. Stakeholders must make use of the abundance of resources available by participating in webinars, subscribing to newsletters, and joining online discussion groups. Everyone in the community benefits from the stakeholders’ enthusiastic participation.

Please share your thoughts and feelings about this if you find it helpful. Feel free to forward this message to your colleagues, start a conversation about it on social media, or discuss it at your next online meeting. Predicting the future of online gambling in the Philippines isn’t enough; what’s important is that stakeholders work together, engage in thoughtful discourse, and create a balance in the industry.
