Deficit Done Right: A Lifestyle 180 Workplace Fitness Webinar

Francesca Dosayla on October 8, 2025

September Focus: Sustainable Nutrition and Fitness

This September, Staff Domain’s Lifestyle 180 wellness initiative put the spotlight on sustainable nutrition and workplace fitness with an engaging webinar on mastering calorie deficit the healthy way.

Launched as a 10-month workplace wellness initiative early this year, Staff Domain’s Lifestyle 180 program continues to support our employees’ healthy habits and personal transformation. This holistic approach to workplace fitness and wellbeing has brought together experts, engaging sessions, and practical tips to help our team feel healthier both in and outside of work.

Our latest event, the Deficit 101 Webinar, was yet another activity we had in store in line with the program’s goals.  It was an engaging and practical online session designed to help our team make informed decisions about their health and fitness, shining the spotlight on the familiar but often misunderstood topic of going on a calorie deficit.

Meet the Coach

 

We were privileged to welcome back Bea Chan, a licensed physical therapist and a senior personal trainer, as our guest speaker. With her ideal blend of clinical expertise and real-world fitness coaching, Bea has become a trusted figure in our company-wide wellness journey. She brings not just knowledge, but also an approachable energy that resonates with employees of all fitness levels. Her background made her the perfect guide to help the participants tackle the subject many have heard of but few truly grasp.

Exploring the Calorie Deficit Journey

Right from the get-go, the webinar was buzzing with enthusiasm. Attendees logged in on time, ready with their questions, while Coach Bea jumped right in with energy and clarity.

On paper, a calorie deficit sounds simple: burn more than you eat. In practice, however, it’s far more complex: Do too little, results may not show. Do too much, you risk fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, or, even worse, burnout and health setbacks.

It’s a balancing act that requires mindful effort, not extreme measures.

"Fill your diet with nutrient-dense food. We’re not talking about deprivation, we’re talking about moderation."

— Coach Bea

Recognising this challenge, Coach Bea framed the discussion around safe, sustainable practices. Playfully dubbing the sessions as a guide to “Surviving the ‘Hunger’ Games,” she explained not just what calorie deficit is,  but also how to do it right. Her talk highlighted:

      • The science behind the practice and how it affects the body
      • Practical tips for adjusting eating habits without extreme restriction
      • The importance of pairing proper nutrition with regular physical activity
      • Common myths and mistakes people make when attempting to lose weight

Our guest speaker passionately emphasised that caloric deficit should never be about starving or restricting food, but about finding balance in fuelling your body with the right nutrients while creating a manageable energy gap that supports overall health.

A Little Food for Thought

 

Even with clinical terms like “ghrelin” and “BCAA” being thrown into the mix, the discussion stayed light and relatable, burning through fitness myths faster than a cardio workout.

To cap it off, the open Q&A session gave participants the chance to bring forward their questions and concerns. From portion sizes to practical exercise routines, Coach Bea shared tailored, achievable advice. Her patience and clarity ensured that everyone walked away with insights they could apply right away, be it at home, the gym, or even in the workplace.

Workplace Wellness in Action

Events like Deficit 101 reflect Staff Domain’s broader commitment to building a culture of health and wellbeing. Through Lifestyle 180, we’re working to redefine workplace fitness: more than just lunchtime walks to occasional yoga sessions, it is a holistic approach that empowers employees to take ownership of their physical health, mental resilience, and everyday lifestyle choices.

 By offering programs that combine expert guidance with real-world applications, we aim to help employees build healthier habits that last well beyond the workplace.

Here’s to small steps, sustainable choices, and a stronger Staff Domain community.

A Strong Debut: Staff Domain Wins at the HR Excellence Awards

Francesca Dosayla on October 1, 2025

Making Our Mark

Staff Domain earns recognition from the HR Excellence Awards (HREA) Philippines for its relentless commitment to caring for our employees, delivering strategies that go far beyond compensation to support holistic wellbeing, growth, and lasting career fulfilment.

 

The HR Excellence Awards (HREA) celebrates exceptional impact in the human resources space, from innovative initiatives to outstanding leadership practices. As the only HR-centric awarding body in the region whose entries are peer-reviewed by distinguished individuals in the field, it has quickly risen to become one of the most sought-after accolades for any organisation that recognises the value of putting people first. 

This year marked Staff Domain’s first attendance at this prestigious awarding ceremony, and with it came our first award: the Silver HR Excellence in Total Rewards Strategy. An award dedicated to acknowledging organisations with the most outstanding incentive and benefit programs, it was our great honour to have been recognised by a panel of respected peers and industry leaders, making it a memorable achievement that will continue to encourage us to constantly raise the bar for how we support our people.

Recognition That Speaks to Our Culture


At Staff Domain, we believe that success starts with creating an environment where people feel valued, supported, and motivated to grow. Being named among the region’s top organisations for their overall rewards and benefits strategy is not just a win for our HR team, it is a recognition of the culture we have built together.

This award also reinforces our standing as a Great Place to Work® certified organisation. It validates the promise at the heart of our employee value proposition: that every individual at Staff Domain has access to fair rewards, meaningful opportunities, and the support they need to thrive.

Excellence, Defined Our Way

 

Believing in a people-first outlook, we take the time and effort to recognise the humans behind the roles. Here’s a quick look at the approach that earned us our very first HR Excellence Award and how we bring our people-centric visions to life:

 

        • Fair & Competitive Compensation
          We offer above-industry salary packages to ensure that our employees are recognised and rewarded fairly.
        • Health & Wellness
          From comprehensive healthcare coverage to our Lifestyle 180 program and accessible mental health support, we design benefits that care for the overall wellbeing of our people and their families.
        • Growth & Learning
          We see the value in training, mentorship, and clear advancement pathways. Our people don’t just have jobs, they have careers with direction and purpose.
        • Open Recognition
          Whether it’s through peer-to-peer appreciation or company-wide awards, we make recognition a daily and essential practice.
        • Work-Life Balance
          Varied working arrangements, flexible shifts, and culture-driven leave policies give our people the time and space to not only manage, but also enjoy, their professional and personal lives.

Momentous To Momentum

 

Winning Silver in the HR Excellence in Total Rewards Strategy was a proud moment for Staff Domain, but it was also a reminder of the responsibility we carry as an organisation. We know that people are looking for more than a pay cheque. More often than not, they want balance, support, a healthy environment, and the constant opportunity to grow.

This award tells us we are moving in the right direction, but we also recognise that this is just a milestone in our journey, not the destination. Motivated by our commitment to excellence, we continue to evolve and improve, always guided by the belief that when our people succeed, so do our clients, and so does our business.

Here at Staff Domain, achievements like this help make it clear to our people and partners that we’re not just a great place to work—we’re the smart place to grow.

Women’s Month Celebration: A Sweet Day of Connection

Francesca Dosayla on September 12, 2025

This August, our South Africa team’s Women’s Month celebration at Muse Bakery was nothing short of sweet success. From the whimsical delight of decorating cakes to sharing the yummy treats, the event was a fun mix of creativity and connection.

A Slice of Imagination

Cake decorating was first on the list and easily became a highlight of the event. With frosting, sprinkles, and a dash of ingenuity, the participants let their imaginations run wild, decorating their own creations with strokes of colour and flair. Some cakes displayed playfulness, while others with more artistry, but all were piped with personality. The hands-on activity sparked plenty of hearty laughter and playful competition, a perfect moment of warm connection.

Sweet Treats and Good Company

As it turns out, you can have your cake and eat it, too!

Not that many of our colleagues were eager to take a bite of their sweet creations and ruin all their hard work so soon, but thankfully, they didn’t have to. A larger spread of tasty snacks and drinks was waiting for them after their decorating endeavour. Between bites and sips, our South Africa team enjoyed relaxed conversations that went beyond the usual daily grind, a humble celebration that brought them even closer together.

Bonds Beyond the Bakery

At the end of the day, through the light-hearted chatter and the small bites of cake in between, the team didn’t lose sight of the subject of celebration. More than frosting cakes, enjoying delicious food, and having a fun time, the day was about honouring women, and not just those who make Staff Domain what it is today, either.

It was a recognition of women everywhere: women of the past who paved the way for change in dignified silence or for all the world to see, women of the present who continue the good work, and women of the future who are tasked to carry forward legacies while making their own mark.

The Staff Domain Women’s Month Celebration was a joy to hold and an honour to observe.  What’s more, this is just the beginning. With more staff engagements on the horizon, the team can look forward to future events that will only get more exciting, more fun, and more meaningful. 

Here’s to celebrating women not just this month, but every day, and to making more moments that are truly the icing on the cake.

 

Staff Domain Cebu Sports Fest 2025: Sweat, Smiles, and Spirit

Francesca Dosayla on September 12, 2025

Bullseye!

This year’s Staff Domain Cebu Sports Fest hit the mark, literally, with its line-up of traditional archery and Super Cube, a new and digital take on the challenge of agility and precision.

Trading their laptops for bows and their leather soles for rubber, our Cebu team gathered at iSports, SM Jmall Cebu for an evening of friendly competition and laughter.  In the midst of whizzing arrows and glowing floors, our colleagues put on a dynamic display of intensity, dedication, and teamwork.

Aiming for Fun and Precision

Starting strong with a round of archery, the competitors all tapped into their inner marksmen and quickly got into the spirit of things. It didn’t matter too much that some held a bow and arrow for the first time while others were eager to show off their steady aim. By the time the last arrow hit its mark, all of the participants had shown their determination and true enjoyment for the sport.

Quick Moves and Quicker Thinking

The fun didn’t stop there!

Soon after archery wrapped up, our Cebu colleagues shifted their sights onto winning the next challenge: the Super Cube.

A modern take on the classic The Floor is Lava game, the Super Cube is an immersive and interactive activity that tests players’ agility, quick thinking, and teamwork. The participants had to step onto a massive digital grid floor with glowing cubes, avoiding the moving red lights while ensuring the blues were all pressed just before the clock ran out. 

The room was filled with an entertaining mix of panic, intense focus, and bursts of laughter as the competitors ran and leapt across the interactive grid. Cheers constantly erupted from the sidelines, a warm display of camaraderie cutting through the high-energy atmosphere. While the winners got to celebrate their victory, everyone certainly got swept up in the fun of the challenge.

Meet the Winners

Everyone’s a winner in our eyes, but of course, what’s a tournament without a proper crowning of champions?

After the action-packed, fun-filled day of activities and excitement, have a look at our Staff Domain Cebu Sports Fest 2025 winners:

Archery
  • Champions – Mariah Grace & Rico
  • 2nd Place – Crystal Ann & Jude
Super Cube
  • Champions – Rico & Mikael
  • 2nd Place – Jude & Jo Lorenz

Ending on a Delicious Note

We started the sports fest with an exciting round of archery where everyone got the chance to be Katniss Everdeen, but the true Hunger Games was saved for the end: dinner at Taishu Yakiniku!

Over the sizzling of quality cuts of meat and the clinking of cold drinks, our Cebu team enjoyed an evening of lively conversation, hearty laughter, and even heartier appetites. Their encouraging words and fond praises for each other resonated across the table, a true display of fellowship and togetherness.

Highlights that Last

The highlights of the Staff Domain Cebu Sports Fest 2025 went beyond hitting targets and beating the clock, beyond the usual takeaway of sportsmanship and teamwork.

By stepping away from the usual workday, the team had the chance to enjoy each other’s company in a new and refreshing way, outside the four walls of an office or a video call. Between the cheers during archery, the energy in the Super Cube challenge, and the laughter shared over dinner, events like this remind us that it’s not only the big wins that matter, but also the moments of connection, encouragement, and shared joy along the way.

The day had to come to a close, but the smiles and stories carried forward as lasting reminders that while the games may have ended, team spirit goes on.
