Staff Domain Olympics 2025: One Goal. One Team. One Victory

DevOps Intern on August 14, 2025

The energy? Electric. Competition? Fierce. Camaraderie? Unmatched! Staff Domain Olympics 2025 proved once again why this annual sports fest is one of our most anticipated events of the year.

Held over two exciting weeks in Ortigas, Philippines, this year’s Olympics was a true celebration of talent, teamwork, and fun. From quick-thinking board games to high-energy court battles, every event brought out the best in our players and the loudest cheers from our audience.

Two Weeks, Countless Highlights

Our games kicked off right here in the office with a line-up that kept both participants and spectators on their toes. Staff clashed over Scrabble, Chess, Foosball, Billiards, and Pick-Up Sticks, plus traditional Filipino favourites like Sungka,Tumbang Preso, Ten-Twenty, and Chinese Garter. Even the digital realm saw action with an intense Mobile Legends tournament.

Outdoor and off-site games brought even more thrill, including Table Tennis and Pickleball matches, as well as Swimming (Breaststroke and Freestyle) and Bowling.

The Grand Finale at Poveda College

The climax of this year’s Olympics was nothing short of spectacular. On the final Saturday, we took over the gymnasium at St. Pedro Poveda College for a full day of competition. Here, the stakes were at their highest for Basketball, Volleyball, Sprint, and Badminton, all played in front of roaring crowds. The atmosphere was electric, every play charged with adrenaline and the spirit of friendly rivalry.

And the Winners Are… 🏆

After two weeks of non-stop action, the Red Dragons emerged as the Overall Champions, taking home the coveted trophy and a cash prize of ₱15,000.

Highlight from our Global Head of HR:

Staff Engagement Recap: Slumber Party Fun!

DevOps Intern on August 14, 2025

After working their socks off, everyone finally got to swap them for the fluffiest pair they owned. That was the vibe on 31 July 2025, when Staff Domain South Africa turned the office into a cosy slumber party. The dimly lit space was dotted with whimsically patterned PJs and fluffy slippers, each outfit more creative than last year’s. The ambience was warm and welcoming, giving everyone a space to unwind together.

From Pictionary to “Please Explain”

The evening kicked off with a spirited round of Pictionary. It started with quick sketches and clever guesses before spiralling into an all-out doodle showdown filled with giggles and friendly rivalries. Teams leaned in, swapping guesses and celebrating every correct answer. Some drawings had us in awe of the surprising artistic flair, while others… left us scratching our heads.

Spotlight on the Winners

In the middle of it all, Fiki Shabangu emerged as the Player of the Day, turning even the trickiest prompts into winning points for their team. Their quick thinking kept their team’s momentum going from start to finish.

And when it came to dressing for the occasion, Lucky Mabuza stood out effortlessly, claiming the Best Dressed title with an outfit that nailed the slumber party theme.

Both winners headed home with vouchers as a little reminder of their well-earned bragging rights.

Slices, Sips, and Second Helpings

Between turns at the whiteboard, the team dug into slices of Smack Daddy pizzas and bowls of buttery popcorn. And then, they topped it all off with the ever-familiar hot chocolate. What’s a slumber party without a steaming cup? Plates and mugs didn’t stay full for long, with plenty going back for seconds. Conversations flowed easily into the night, with coworkers swapping stories and sharing lighthearted banter. For a while, everyone set aside their deadlines and simply enjoyed each other’s company.

The Bit That Really Matters

Yes, the prizes and games were the highlight of the show, but the true essence of the night was the sense of togetherness that filled the room. Events like this give us the chance to see each other beyond our roles, to connect in new ways, and to create moments that brighten our workdays long after the chairs are stacked and the lights are out. For a few hours, colleagues became cheerleaders and friends, proving that a shared laugh can be just as valuable as a shared goal. These moments of camaraderie strengthen bonds and remind us that our workplace is more than desks and projects; it is a community.

As the night came to a close, the room still buzzed with leftover energy from the evening’s fun. And just like that, the countdown to our next get-together had already begun. Whatever it is, we know it will be worth showing up for.

Growing Greater: Staff Domain Named a Great Place to Work® Again in 2025

DevOps Intern on August 13, 2025

August 2025, Ortigas – Staff Domain has achieved its highest-ever Great Place to Work® score and been officially recognised for the third consecutive year as a Great Place to Work®. In the 2025 survey, 90% of employees in the Philippines affirmed that this is a great place to work. This recognition underscores our continued dedication to building a workplace where people feel valued, respected, and empowered.

The certification, valid until August 11, 2026, is based on the global Great Place to Work® Trust Index® Survey, the gold standard in measuring workplace culture and employee engagement. This year’s results mark our third consecutive year of improvement, with our overall survey average rising to 87%, up from 81% in 2024 and 78% in 2023. This is our highest score yet since first being certified, proving that year after year, we are growing greater.

View the official Great Place to Work® announcement here.

What Makes Our Culture Great

The 2025 survey revealed several key strengths that highlight the heart of Staff Domain’s culture:

  • 95% say special events are celebrated in the workplace.
  • 95% say people are treated fairly regardless of age.
  • 94% say people are treated fairly regardless of sexual orientation or gender.
  • 94% agree this is a physically safe place to work.

We also see our growth in the words of our people. Feedback from the survey’s open comments highlights what matters most — employees, benefits, work, hybrid options, and a culture of support. These insights guide us as we continue to evolve and improve.

A Culture of Openness and Continuous Growth

Compared to previous years, Staff Domain has been proactively and actively investing in growth; not just in size, but in structure, culture, and leadership approach. We have doubled down on:

  • Listening to our employees’ voices more than ever, opening the floor to feedback and dialogue.
  • Creating a culture that embraces constructive feedback instead of fearing it.
  • Strengthening our internal structure to support both personal and professional growth.
  • Focusing on inclusion, respect, and fairness as non-negotiable workplace values.

“Being recognised as a Great Place to Work for the third year running speaks volumes about our people-first culture. Every improvement is the result of our team living our LEFRO values daily, and I couldn’t be prouder of the world-class workplace we continue to build together.”

— Justin Pavsic, CEO & Co-Founder, Staff Domain

Why This Matters

Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture and employee experience. The Certification is earned solely through the real-time feedback of employees and is recognized worldwide as the benchmark for outstanding workplace culture. According to their research, employees at Certified companies are 93% more likely to look forward to work, twice as likely to be paid fairly, and 4.5 times more likely to have a great boss.

Earning this recognition means Staff Domain is not just meeting standards: we’re setting them.

“This achievement is more than just a title; it’s a reflection of the trust, respect, and collaboration we’ve nurtured across the business. Winning for the third year shows that investing in our people isn’t just good culture, it's smart business.”

— Ben Rajah, CFO & Co-Founder, Staff Domain

A Celebration of Our People

Our certification is a direct result of the trust, dedication, and passion of our employees. Every voice matters in shaping our workplace, and every contribution (big or small) helps us move closer to our vision of being the employer of choice in our industry.

With every year that passes, we are not only maintaining our certification but raising our standards and exceeding our own benchmarks. Three years in, our momentum is undeniable, and we’re only getting started!

“In the quiet rhythm of daily work, Staff Domain offers more than a job. It brings purpose, growth, and a deep sense of pride. It is, in every way, a place where people truly flourish. It is, indeed, a smart place to grow.”

— Emerson Mendoza, Global Head of HR

Emerson’s words echo the lived experience of our employees: that Staff Domain is more than a workplace. It’s a community built on shared purpose, professional growth, and a culture of mutual respect.

Celebrating Dads the SD Way: Highlights from SD Father’s Day 2025 

Terrence Roice Ignacio on June 19, 2025

Staff Domain believes in recognising the dedication and love our team members bring not just to work, but also to their roles as parents. On June 13, we celebrated the unsung heroes of our office, our dads, with a day filled with fun, reflection, good food, and well-deserved pampering. The SD Father’s Day 2025 celebration reminded us of the strength, warmth, and leadership our fathers bring to both family and work life.

SD Father’s Day 2025: Heartfelt Moments, Laughs, and Lasting Memories

The event began with a warm welcome from our host, June Bermudez, setting a cheerful and relaxed tone for the day. Staff Domain’s very own CFO, Ben Rajah, opened the celebration with a moving speech. He spoke about how deeply he loves his father and what fatherhood means to him.

Ben acknowledged the emotional and mental strength it takes to be a dad, saying, “I know how hard it is to be a father, and Staff Domain is always here to support you.” He also touched on the continuous learning journey that comes with fatherhood. It can feel overwhelming at times, but growth and improvement come from those very challenges. “It can be scary at first, but the more you fall, the better you become. Be optimistic, your kids are watching you,” he added, encouraging every dad in the room to be a role model through both their resilience and optimism.

Real Talk: The Q&A That Made SD Father’s Day 2025 Personal and Fun

To break the ice, we invited our dads to a light-hearted and thought-provoking Q&A session. Here’s a snapshot of the heartfelt (and often hilarious) answers they gave:

Q: If your life as a dad were a movie, what would it be?
A: John Wick. Most fathers make decisions not based on emotion, but from their role as providers. It’s all about commitment and discipline.

Q: What’s the best fatherly advice you’ve ever given or received?
A: Respect your parents, especially your mother.

Q: If you had a day off with no responsibilities, what would your ideal Father’s Day look like?
A: There’s no such thing as a day without responsibility. But if there was, it’d be drinking with my buddies and making sure my wife is happy. Happy wife, happy life.

Q: What family tradition would you like to start? 
A: Being a role model. Our traditions as Filipinos include deep respect for parents. What we show our kids and how we treat others is what they’ll carry forward.

Q: If you could have any superpower as a dad, what would it be? 
A: The power to never get tired. Being a father is a lifelong responsibility, and we need the energy to support our loved ones every day.

Ben also shared his insight during this session. “When disciplining or teaching your children, you can be more effective by changing how you say things. It’s about how you communicate and connect with your kids.”

Delicious Eats, Thoughtful Gifts, and Well-Deserved Relaxation

No celebration is complete without a hearty meal. We treated our dads to a delicious lunch of creamy mushroom roast beef and crispy chicken fillet. It was the perfect opportunity for them to sit down, relax, and share stories over a good meal.

To show our appreciation, each father received a curated token that included a shaver, body mist, and beard balm. These thoughtful gifts were a simple but meaningful way to say thank you for everything they do.

Afterwards, dads were treated to free massages. It was a much-needed moment of calm and care for those who give their all every single day.

A Toast to Fatherhood

The SD Father’s Day 2025 celebration didn’t end when the workday did. Later that evening, the dads of Staff Domain gathered at MoonShine, a nearby pub, for a casual after-hours bonding session. Over a few drinks, they shared stories, laughed, and built lasting memories with fellow fathers. It was the kind of camaraderie that reminds you you’re never alone on this journey.

A Father’s Day to Remember in South Africa

Our South Africa team joined the SD Father’s Day 2025 celebration with their thoughtful twist. Each dad received a gift pack featuring a shaver, body mist, and a beard balm as a token of appreciation for their big role at work and home.

The celebration brought smiles across the office, with even non-dads joining in the fun. It was a simple yet meaningful moment that strengthened team bonds and reminded us all of the value of everyday appreciation.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Staff Domain!

Play Hard, Work Stronger: Highlights from Our South Africa Office Sports Day

Terrence Roice Ignacio on June 6, 2025

The competitive spirit in our South Africa office was in full display with our office sports event. We transformed a regular workday into a dynamic celebration where everyone was treated to a few hours of games. It was a vibrant display of unity, culture, and community spirit. 

Employees across departments gathered with high energy and enthusiastic smiles, eager to take part in the activities planned. This was not just an opportunity to compete, but a chance to connect, laugh, and create memorable moments together. 

Engagement initiatives like these breathe life into the workplace. They help teams break away from routine, reduce stress, and strengthen professional relationships in ways that meetings and emails never could. 

Celebrating Connection Through Office Sports Competition

From the moment the games began, the room was already filled with excitement. You can sense the excitement in everyone. Laughter rang out, cheers erupted, and even the most reserved team members couldn’t help but join in the fun. 

Sports Charade Sets the Tone

The highlight of the day was the Sports Charade game, a fast-paced, laughter-filled activity where participants acted out sports scenes while teammates tried to correctly guess the word in between cheers and upbeat music.

Friendly Competition, Real Rewards

The participant who earned the greenest cards for correct guesses was crowned Sports Charade Champion, taking home a couple of cool prizes. We also awarded the employee who exuded the sportiest flair. 

Refueling with Food, Fun, and Friendship

After all the action, it was time to kick back and enjoy some well-earned bites. True to the event’s spirit, lunch wasn’t just about food; it was a continuation of the connection.

A Hearty Meal to Match a Hearty Spirit

Everyone enjoyed a delicious plate of beef lasagne served with potato salad, delivering comfort and satisfaction after a morning of physical fun.

A Sweet Surprise to Wrap Up the Fun

To top it all off, the team was surprised with a luscious chocolate mousse cake, a dessert that turned heads and sparked cheers around the table.

Mealtime Moments that Matter

This part of the day brought quieter joy, people chatting, laughing, and sharing moments that reinforced the essence of office sports: teamwork, camaraderie, and gratitude for the people we work with every day.

The Value of a Work-Hard, Play-Hard Culture

The Office Sports Day reminded us why fun should be part of the workplace. It’s not just time away from tasks; it’s an investment in morale, collaboration, and company culture.

Building a Stronger Staff Domain

By encouraging shared experiences, we foster a community that supports each other. This celebration wasn’t just a highlight of the quarter, it reflected the values we live by.

Looking Ahead to More Office Sports Moments

As we reflect on the day’s events, we’re filled with gratitude for our team’s energy, our culture of celebration, and the opportunity to create moments like these. The success of this office sports event has inspired us to continue making joy and teamwork a core part of our journey at Staff Domain.

We look forward to more unforgettable events that bring out the best in each other, on and off the field.

SD Mother’s Day 2025 Bonding Highlights: Q&A and Trivia

To warm up the room, we held a bonding session where mums shared heartfelt, funny, and inspiring stories from their motherhood journeys. This was followed by a fun trivia game where participants answered questions and won chocolates for every correct answer, because every supermum deserves a sweet treat.

Lunch Serenade: Music, Meals, and Meaningful Moments

Lunch was more than just a meal. Everyone enjoyed a delicious spread of creamy fried fish fillet and roast beef while being serenaded by our very own Staff Domain talents. Harold Avila delivered an emotional rendition of “Mapa” by SB19, followed by Sean Garchitorena’s beautiful performance of “Salamat Sa’yo Ina.” The live music brought smiles and even a few tears as everyone paused to reflect and appreciate.

Thoughtful Tokens and Massage Wrap-Up

As a token of appreciation, each mum received a curated gift set featuring a custom mug, drip coffee, and French vanilla coffee syrup — perfect for a little “me time” at home. To top it all off, mums were treated to a relaxing massage right in the office pantry. It was the perfect way to close out a day of love, laughter, and well-earned rest.

Opening the Virtual Program with Appreciation

Host Glenda Balagapo welcomed everyone with heartfelt words, sharing that even when it feels like no one is watching, we see and appreciate all that mums do.

Mums also received a cash prize so they could treat themselves during the celebration.

Virtual Games and Prizes at SD Mother’s Day 2025

Closing With Gratitude and Heartfelt Goodbyes

Before the event wrapped up, Glenda reminded everyone that their tokens and prizes would be sent the following week. She encouraged all the mums to take time for themselves, enjoy their rewards, and celebrate the amazing job they do every day.

Staff Domain South Africa Eastern Asian Event, A Day of Culture, Connection, and Celebration

Terrence Roice Ignacio on May 8, 2025

The Staff Domain South Africa Eastern Asian Event on Friday, 25 April 2025, wasn’t just a themed activity—it was a full-colour expression of what makes Staff Domain’s culture truly special. From the creativity on display to the laughter shared across teams, the event brought to life the values we hold close: inclusivity, connection, and a genuine love for what we do and who we do it with.

Highlights from the Staff Domain South Africa Eastern Asian Event

As soon as the day began, the Staff Domain South Africa Eastern Asian Event came alive with vibrant décor inspired by Eastern Asian traditions. Colourful lanterns, paper fans, and floral elements transformed the office into a space bursting with cultural flavour. But the true heart of the event came from the people. Everyone came dressed in traditional Asian attire, each uniquely beautiful.

Shared Experiences Through Food

Great culture often comes alive over shared meals, and the Staff Domain South Africa Eastern Asian Event gave us a chance to do just that. We enjoyed:

  • Panda Lunch Box – A sushi selection that was as fresh as it was fun to share
  • Crispy Prawn Sandwich – Crunchy, creamy, and devoured in minutes
  • Chow Mein (Chicken or Beef) – A warm, filling favourite that hit the spot

Beyond the flavours, the food sparked conversation and encouraged mingling across teams—all contributing to the relaxed, joyful atmosphere. These are the moments that make workplace memories—simple, genuine, and shared.

Freeze Dance with Fans, Because Fun Is Part of Our Culture

Culture isn’t just about values; it’s about the way we show up for each other. And sometimes, that means you need to get up and dance!

Our Freeze Dance with Fans game brought out the playful side of our team.  The activity had everyone moving, laughing, and competing (light-heartedly, of course) for the title of best freeze.

Shoutout to Our Event Champs

From start to finish, the enthusiasm never dropped, which speaks volumes about the positivity and participation that runs through our team culture. From spontaneous dance-offs to bursts of laughter between rounds, every moment felt genuine and energising. It was clear that everyone wasn’t just attending the event, they were truly enjoying it together.

  • Best Dressed: Rinus Besselaar, who took cultural creativity to the next level
  • Freeze Dance Winner: Siyasanga Yekanye, for style and perfect timing
  • Freeze Dance Winner: Maria Mtshwene, who showed how to freeze with flair

A Reflection of What Makes Staff Domain Special

What made the Staff Domain South Africa Eastern Asian Event so meaningful wasn’t just the decorations or the games—it was how naturally it fit into the way we work and connect. Events like this don’t feel out of the ordinary here. They feel like a natural part of life at Staff Domain. 

That’s because we’ve built a culture where people feel encouraged to show up as themselves, try something new, and celebrate together. Whether we’re hitting a major milestone or simply marking the end of a busy week, we never miss a chance to build connection and enjoy each other’s company. 

We’re proud of our team for embracing the day with such energy, creativity, and heart. And we’re even prouder to be part of a workplace where culture isn’t just a word—it’s something we live out loud.

Mental Health in the Workplace: Insights from Staff Domain’s Webinar 

Terrence Roice Ignacio on May 1, 2025

Staff Domain recently hosted an impactful webinar focused on mental health in the workplace, highlighting valuable insights for achieving better mental well-being and work-life balance. The session was facilitated by ComPsych, the world’s largest provider of Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services. 

The Importance of Mental Health in the Workplace

One of the important points emphasised during the webinar was the critical importance of mental health in the workplace. Employees participated in a reflective activity, rating the significance of mental wellness on a scale of 1 (not important) to 5 (very important). Unsurprisingly, most agreed on the highest rating, showcasing an organisational understanding that mental health is fundamental to both personal happiness and professional success.

What is the Employee Assistance Program (EAP)?

Learning about what EAP means

The ComPsych EAP provides employees and their household family members free, confidential access to mental health services. The program includes: 

  • Three free one-hour counselling sessions per issue per year, covering stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, substance abuse, and career coaching.
  • Legal and financial consultation, offering practical advice on common issues such as budgeting, debt management, wills, and estate planning.
  • A 24/7 online resource portal, Guidance Resources Online, offering on-demand training and wellness tips accessible from computers, smartphones, or tablets.

Practical Tips for Better Work-Life Balance

Teaching tips for better mental health at the workplace

Staff Domain employees were encouraged to leverage these resources actively to promote work-life balance. Practical strategies discussed include:

  • Regular Mental Health Check-ins: Routinely assess your emotional well-being. Ask yourself, “How am I feeling today?” and seek support when needed.
  • Setting Boundaries: Establish clear work and personal time zones to avoid burnout and maintain long-term productivity.
  • Take Advantage of the EAP: Don’t wait until you’re overwhelmed. Take advantage of counselling services and expert consultations to stay ahead of stress.
  • Use Available Training: Explore on-demand modules on time management, emotional resilience, and conflict resolution to build stronger coping mechanisms.
  • Prioritise Breaks and Downtime: It’s okay to pause. Take breaks during the day to recharge and maintain focus.

Additional Takeaways for Better Mental Health 

  • You Are Not Alone: Everyone experiences stress, anxiety, or emotional challenges. Opening up to professionals or trusted colleagues can make a significant difference. Talking about your feelings is the first step.
  • Mental Health is Ongoing: Just like physical fitness, mental wellness requires ongoing attention. Incorporate mindfulness practices or short meditations into your routine.
  • Know When to Ask for Help: Being brave sometimes means admitting you’re struggling. Asking for help is a powerful act of self-care.
  • Support One Another: Normalising mental health discussions within the team encourages a culture of empathy and support in the workplace.

Encouraging Open Dialogue at Work

Co-workers having fun at the workplace

The webinar also stressed the importance of normalising conversations about mental health in the workplace. Employees were prompted with the question, “What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever said?” emphasising that seeking help or openly discussing mental health struggles is a sign of strength, not weakness.

The session reinforced that pausing for mental health is okay and necessary, with the reminder, “It’s okay to pause, but it’s also important to keep going.”

Staff Domain employees left the webinar empowered with knowledge and resources to better handle life’s pressures, both at work and at home. The ComPsych EAP serves as a valuable support system, reinforcing the message that maintaining good mental health in the workplace is essential for sustained success and happiness. 

Employees interested in accessing the EAP services can do so by visiting guidanceresources.com or reaching out directly via the dedicated helpline or email provided in the session. 

Prioritising mental health in the workplace is more than a webinar—it’s a continuous commitment to oneself and one’s well-being.

At Staff Domain, we take our work seriously—but we know how to have serious fun too. And our recent team building event in Cebu was all the proof anyone needs. 

Held at the stunning Bluewater Resort, our Cebu-based team traded their desks for palm trees, sea breeze, and plenty of sunshine. The day was all about connection, creativity, and a little friendly competition—Staff Domain style.

Fuelling Up at Allegro

The day kicked off with a hearty buffet lunch at the Allegro Restaurant. With plates full of delicious food and conversations flowing just as freely, it was the perfect way to fuel up for an afternoon of exciting activities.

Let the Games Begin at our Cebu Team Building 2025!

After lunch, it was time to turn up the energy. The team gathered for a series of fun and competitive games designed to bring out the best in everyone—from the loudest cheer to the highest tower. 

The festivities began with a cheer-making contest. Each group brought their A-game, filling the space with laughter, chants, and plenty of team spirit. The creativity on display? Next level. It was a revelation for some, as certain individuals unleashed their hidden talents in dancing, much to the delight of the rest of the team. 

Then came the games: 

  • The Name Game: A quirky challenge where a group’s fate rested on one teammate with the longest name. With markers in hand, each representative raced to write out their full name on the board—hoping to rack up the most letters and the win. 
  • Toxic Waste: This wasn’t your average relay game that tested the teams’ dexterity and creativity. They had to use only intertwined strings—no hands allowed—to transport a bottle of water and put it into a cup across the room. It was a wild mix of precision, teamwork, and a few near spills. 
  • Mountain Stuff: Creativity went into overdrive as teams had to build the tallest tower using whatever they were wearing or had on hand. It proved to be quite a challenge because both teams didn’t really have a lot of stuff on hand. However, that didn’t stop everyone from getting creative. In true competitive mode, they resorted to using their iPhones as platforms for water bottles; they managed to stick the ends of pens and pencils together. Who knew such items could turn into skyscrapers? 
  • Shake It Off: For the finale, this high-energy game, got every individual shaking, jumping, and dancing to remove sticky notes from their bodies. It was too much for some, as they burst out in laughter.

Celebrating One LEFRO Awardee

After the games, the team took a break to celebrate LEFRO awardee Mariah Germane Sorono. Previously recognised at the Q1 Townhall, Mariah received her certificate and, more importantly, was cheered on by her co-workers.  

With snacks to recharge and laughter still echoing from the day’s activities, the rest of the afternoon was free time—whether that meant lounging by the pool, enjoying the beach, or just catching up with teammates outside of work mode.

Events like these aren’t just fun breaks from routine—they’re part of what makes Staff Domain a Great Place to Work.

Until the next one, Cebu team. You rocked it.
