Generali, My Second Home

Tika Oktavianingsih from Generali Indonesia
I never thought I could work for one company for so long. In previous jobs, people are usually already anxious by the second year, looking for new opportunities.

What's wrong with Generali? Little work? Of course not. It's the workplace with the most to-do lists. Hehe

I found a lot of new things here that I didn't know before. A lot of new terms, new ways of working, new ways of learning and new knowledge in the world of finance that I was practically "blind" to before. Not only that, but I also got to work with some great people in the industry! It's a great place to learn and be moulded.

As I moved from one task to another, I found comfort. Comfort working with a super cool and cooperative team, comfort with leaders who are very constructive, comfort with freedom of opinion and creativity, and many other comforts, so I can say that Generali is a second home.

Generali has also witnessed 3 phases in my life. I first stepped into the Generali Tower as a single woman, got married 2.5 years later, got pregnant and now have a little baby. You could say that my friends at Generali were living witnesses when I made a big decision and was ready to enter the next phase as a wife and mother. They are my family.

Life is not always smooth, the COVID-19 pandemic has been the sorrow of many people. It has been tough for the company to go through the economic and social impact of this pandemic, but I am proud that my friends at Generali have the same spirit and strength to continue to face this challenge well.

When the transmission of COVID-19 started to be strong, Generali immediately implemented a work-from-home system for all employees. Generali's commitment to prioritising the health of its employees is evident. Surprisingly, in the midst of unstable conditions, there has been no reduction in the number of employees and Generali is still providing 100% employee rights without deductions, not to mention the bonuses and THR that are still being distributed. I don't want to talk about finances, but this is a form of gratitude in itself and opens my awareness to share more with others.

My pride in Generali doesn't end there. When the government announced that the vaccine was available, the top management immediately requested a team so that all Generali employees could receive the vaccine. Again, the health of our employees is a priority for Generali. It did not take long for Generali to open vaccine registration for its employees. In addition to employees, Generali's vaccination centre also invites older employees' relatives, spouses and people in the office. The commitment to help the community and the government in the fight against the pandemic is real.

Friends, this series of paragraphs is only part of my story at Generali, which I am very proud of. There are many other exciting stories, such as sponsorship events, The Human Safety Net activities, projects with media friends, fun internal events and much more! When I read this in 10 years time, I'm sure I'll smile and say: Thank you Generali, you're my second home!

Generali, My Second Home

Tidak pernah menyangka sebelumnya bahwa saya bisa bekerja selama ini di suatu perusahaan. Di tempat-tempat sebelumnya, biasanya masuk tahun ke 2 sudah gelisah cari-cari kesempatan baru.

Emang ada apa si di Generali? Kerjaannya sedikit? Tentu tidak. Justru ini menjadi tempat kerja dengan deretan to do list paling banyak. Hehe

Di sini saya menemukan banyak hal baru yang belum saya ketahui sebelumnya. Banyak istilah-istilah baru, cara kerja baru, cara belajar baru dan ilmu-ilmu  baru di dunia keuangan yang bisa dibilang saya “buta” sebelumnya. Ngga cuma itu, di sini saya juga banyak berkoordinasi dengan orang-orang handal di bidangnya! Benar-benar tempat yang pas untuk belajar dan ditempa.

Saat menyelesaikan dari satu tugas ke tugas lainnya, saya menemukan kenyamanan tersendiri. Nyaman bekerja sama dengan tim yang super keren dan kooperatif, nyaman dengan leader yang sangat membangun, nyaman dengan kebebasan berpendapat dan berkreativitas, dan banyak kenyamanan lainnya hingga saya bisa bilang kalau Generali adalah rumah kedua.

Generali juga jadi saksi 3 fase kehidupan dalam hidup saya. Melangkahkan kaki pertama di Generali Tower dengan status single, 2,5 tahun kemudian menikah, hamil dan kini punya 1 bayi kecil. Bisa dibilang teman-teman di Generali itu saksi hidup saat saya mengambil keputusan besar dan siap masuk ke fase berikutnya sebagai seorang istri dan ibu. Buat saya, mereka keluarga.

Hidup terkadang tidak selalu mulus, pandemi COVID-19 telah menjadi duka banyak orang. Terasa berat bagi perusahaan melewati dampak ekonomi dan sosial dari pandemi ini, tapi saya bangga teman-teman di Generali punya 1 semangat dan kekuatan yang sama untuk bisa terus melewati tantangan ini dengan baik.

Saat penularan COVID-19 sudah mulai kencang, Generali langsung menerapkan sistem work from home bagi semua karyawannya. Komitmen Generali dalam mengutamakan kesehatan karyawannya begitu terasa. Hebatnya lagi, di tengah kondisi yang tidak stabil, tidak ada pengurangan karyawan dan Generali masih memberikan hak karyawan 100% tanpa potongan, belum lagi bonus dan THR yang masih terdistribusi. Bukan mau membahas soal keuangan, tapi ini menjadi bentuk rasa syukur tersendiri dan membuka kesadaran saya untuk semakin kuat berbagi dengan sesama.

Kebanggaan saya dengan Generali belum berenti sampai situ. Saat pemerintah mengabarkan vaksin sudah tersedia, pimpinana tertinggi langsung meminta tim agar semua karyawan Generali bisa memperoleh vaksin. Lagi-lagi, kesehatan karyawan menjadi prioritas bagi Generali. Tanpa perlu waktu lama, Generali membuka pendaftaran vaksin bagi karyawan. Ngga cuma karyawan, posko vaksin Generali juga mengundang para lansia kerabat karyawan, suami/istri serta orang-orang sekitar kantor. Komitmen membantu komunitas dan pemerintah dalam menangani pandemi ini nyata adanya.

Teman-teman, deretan paragraf ini hanya sebagian dari kisah saya di Generali yang sangat membanggakan. Banyak kisah lainnya yang juga seru, seperti event sponsorship, kegiatan The Human Safety Net, project bareng teman-teman media, acara internal seru dan masih banyak lagi! Jika 10 tahun lagi saya membaca tulisan ini, saya yakin saya akan tersenyum dan masih berkata : Terima kasih Generali, kamu rumah keduaku yang paling berkesan.
