Quezon City – Have you ever thought about what other companies do for their anniversaries besides releasing promos and discounts? Others may choose big parties to celebrate the inauguration of their companies, while some opt to release limited-edition products. On the other hand, Empire East took it up a notch with its 28th anniversary.
Accen28: Your Life, Your Style
Empire East, a leading real estate developer in the country, kicked off its 28th Anniversary with the theme ‘Accen28: Your Life, Your Style’ as an ode to the communities, lifestyles, and cityscapes they have accentuated for the past 28 years.
Accentuating Lifestyles
Empire East accentuates the lifestyle of its homeowner through its transit-oriented developments and resort-inspired communities that make urban living more comfortable and convenient for its dwellers.
Accentuating Communities
Empire East builds not only homes but also tight-knit communities. The company accentuates the lives of families by building inclusive communities and launching pocket Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives in and beyond Metro Manila.
Accentuating Cityscapes
Empire East has built more than 120 mid-to-high-rise condominium buildings and two subdivisions since 1994. Through these universally accessible and masterfully-planned communities, Empire East accentuates the beauty of city living with its convenience and connectivity.
Apart from that, the company chose to champion the backbone of its company–the employees–for its 28th anniversary with intimate gatherings and elaborate activities. Instead of the usual catholic mass to start the celebration, the company invited various church leaders: a catholic priest, an INC minister, and a Christian church pastor to accommodate various employees with different beliefs.
Empire East also offered a chance for employees to get together in their hobbies and interests. From local coffee shop discussions to huge giveaways at IKEA, Empire East has accentuated the lives of the people who have contributed to the company's success.
The Empire East Social Spaces
Last July 29, they concluded employee-focused Social Space activities for different employees from various departments. The initiative to launch Social Spaces happened last year in October to combat the pandemic’s debilitating effects on employees.
By establishing micro-communities where like-minded people with similar interests may congregate and mingle at their leisure, Empire East hopes to enhance and forge genuine connections among its employees.
Below are some of the Social Spaces formed under this initiative and the activities of each group for the company’s 28th anniversary.
