Fear of the unknown is natural for everyone, but we won't get to know and realize until we take the first step and experience what's in front of us. It is only through experiencing things that we become more knowledgeable and mature enough to know what to do next, what to do better and what can actually be the best for us which will actually be the one that will make us happy. Mistakes, sorrows, pains... It is also natural. It's part of life. That's the best way we can actually learn. See the good in everything no matter how hard or negative it has been. Because it is through this that we can really appreciate the learnings and eventually will allow us able to do much better without having anything against anyone, any situation and even yourself.

What do you like about your job and the company?

One thing I realized over the course of my corporate career is that I prefer something that is not routine and I found that in my current role where every day seems like a new day. With all the amazing exposures and experiences, plus the opportunities offered by Allianz, I get to reap the fruits of being an HRBP that is very much involved with everything in the organization and most especially with the people's lives. There's just so much to learn not just from the company itself and the technical aspects of the business but also from the people. There's a lot of stories to hear, experiences being shared and a lot of appreciation of various situations, not just about their employment but also their personal lives. What's more exciting is that you get have that privilege to serve them and the organization by initiating and implementing various measures, initiatives and projects to give the best experience they can have as they work for Allianz. At some point I can say that being an HRBP is like the "nurse" of the corporate world where you get to support people, help them with their needs and lift them up for the better. And I'd say, nothing beats the happiness that comes from that kind of fulfillment.

For external disclosures, every character of the product has to be correct. It is crucial to find a balance between ensuring an outstanding quality and developing new ideas to enhance the existing processes. Because of the nature of my tasks, I learned to keep an eye on every detail and to check deliveries many times before finalizing them. As all of my team members are used to work with that mindset, I started to pick up that accuracy as well. Overall the dialogue with more experienced colleagues is of course always helpful. They can give you insights into the technicalities, systems and also the organizational structure.
