REV Asia Holdings Group is ending 2016 on a high note, having made it to this year's WorldBlu List of Freedom-Centered Workplaces

The WorldBlu List of Freedom-Centered Workplaces™ 2016, which is in its 10th edition this year, was awarded to 26 companies and organisations from various industries located across the US, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, Malaysia, Haiti, Romania, and New Zealand.

An organisation makes it onto the WorldBlu List through a rigorous Freedom at Work™ Scorecard process completed by employees. The assessment evaluates the overall design of an organisation along a fear-based to freedom-centered continuum in three core areas - leadership, individual performance and systems, and processes.

REV Asia is home to some of Malaysia's top online publishers and platforms, including SAYS (that's us!), 8Share, Juice Online, and OHBULAN! as well as Viralcham and Rojaklah

At REV Asia, freedom-centered practices - in line with the spirit of transparency and diversity - empower employees to perform, express themselves and grow individually in a competitive, fast-paced industry

Transparency is put to practice in the form of 'In Your Face' sessions, conducted monthly by teams to evaluate how the team and its members are doing. The sessions are done over a casual meal and are designed to be a space where team members openly share their thoughts, as well as address issues and take on unified steps to improve the business.

In addition, any team member can organise a 'Smoke Signal' a.k.a. a monthly all-expenses-paid team activity instead of team-building exercises traditionally conducted by the HR department. Smoke Signals so far have ranged from movie nights and food adventures to sports activities and workout sessions.

Here's to a bigger and better year ahead for REV Asia!
