Lear Goes Fast and Furious!

The Philippine branch of Lear Corporation, a Fortune 500 company, entrusted the team building program of its management team to us. Since Lear is in the automotive industry, we decided that it would be apt to adopt the Fast and Furious theme for its management team building. Everything revolved around this concept.

What we like about the participants was that they gave all their best into the activities and that they were very determined to win and at the same time learn from the structured learning activities that we developed specifically for their team. The photos below prove this.

Toyota Cebu Renews Ties with Gear Up

It was a pleasant news for us when Toyota Cebu decided to partner with us again. This time, our participants were their Sales team. The line-up of activities for the one-day event comprised of classroom sessions on work ethics and personality development. The day was highlighted by the teambuilding event and the culmination night which were also handled by Gear Up.

The participants enjoyed the personality development workshop where they were taught how to carry themselves with confidence and professionalism. This enthusiasm and energy was evident all throughout the day as shown by their eagerness to perform the teambuilding activities and win the competition. They carried this zest even until their fashion show during the culmination night.

Quality Manufacturer Meets Quality Trainers

Furniture made into perfection is the trademark of Pacific Traders & Manufacturing Corporation. With over 35 years of quality craftsmanship, Pacific Traders has made a mark both in the local and international furniture industry boasting of a diverse product line from the formal classic designs to the casual contemporary styles.

With their name and background, Gear Up felt honored to be chosen as the provider of the Leadership Training Seminar for their 26 supervisors from its six manufacturing plants. These participants went through six 4-hour sessions that helped them become more effective in their roles as supervisors in the organization. Discussions, structured learning activities, and workshops were some of the training methods used to impart to them knowledge and skills on the four functions of management, motivation, communication, conflict management, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving.

Gear Up and VECO MCISCO Power Up!

What do you get when you combine a revved-up Gear Up group and a powered-up VECO MCISCO team?

Answer: An electrifying team building event!

The Visayan Electric Company's MCISCO group chose Gear Up to provide opportunities where their members could strengthen their team, work on team concerns, and at the same time have fun. Despite the foggy and drizzly weather at the JVR Island in the Sky (Gaas, Balamban), the team composed of 52 gentlemen and 1 lady fared all the challenges given to them. Even the treacherous terrain did not prevent them from trekking up and down in search of the treasures during the Treasure Hunt.

To incorporate the Indiana Jones theme, their chosen theme for the activity, the entire group was broken into 5 smaller groups with names such as Raiders, Templars, Crusaders, Peruvians, and Skulls. The challenges were modified and renamed to add up to the archaeology-adventure theme. Some of the activities were the Totem Pole, Panaman Maze, and Quick Sand.

In their commitment to provide excellent service to both external and internal customers, San Miguel Corporation partners with Gear Up. The country's leading beer brand entrusted the training of their employees from San Miguel Yamamura Packaging Corporation. 

The eager and interactive participants spent eight hours of intensive training on what excellent customer service truly means. The theories were illustrated through real-life examples and reinforced through a workshop.
