Real estate platform Lamudi Philippines is officially certified as a Great Place to Work®. The recognition was based on a survey that evaluated employees’ perceptions of the office culture. A total of 150 workers participated in the poll, and 85 percent reported that Lamudi is a great place to work in.
The corporate culture of Lamudi is deemed excellent in the area of Justice, garnering a top score of 92 percent. The majority of employees believe that people in Lamudi are treated fairly regardless of gender, among other factors evaluated.
The Great Place to Work® certification follows a rigorous process, which primarily involves a research-backed employee survey called the Trust Index.
A Diverse, Inclusive Lamudian Workplace
According to Ashima Lamba, HR Director at Lamudi, the company’s Great Place to Work® certification is a testament to the high level of trust and overall happiness employees experience within the firm.
“We always strive to create a positive environment for Lamudians, where they feel respected, heard, seen, and celebrated. Everyone is important in the team and we truly live our core values, especially, we go far, together,” she said.
The past celebrations of Pride Month at Lamudi were festivities of self-expression, from lip-sync battles to catwalk and makeover challenges to colorful social media posts.
Amid the changes brought by the pandemic, Justine Rose Justo, HR Business Partner at Lamudi, said that the Lamudian workplace underwent a change as well. Homes became offices, and gatherings took place virtually.
“Such changes came with challenges, especially for us at the human resources department. But I can proudly say that our team stepped up and became more determined to engage employees and give them the support they need,” Justo said.
In January 2021, Lamudi formed its own Employee Engagement Committee. The group consists of representatives from across departments and levels leading initiatives within their team and actively supporting company-wide activities.
Even at the height of the pandemic last year, Lamudi exerted aggressive efforts in doubling its manpower in response to more property seekers turning online.
