GDay everyday with bigger, better GlobeOne Super App

Tweet

Globe launches the new GlobeOne Super App, a platform that aims to consolidate the customer experience for Globe, TM, Globe At Home WiFi, and MyFi subscribers with prepaid accounts in just one app.

From linking multiple accounts for easy monitoring, to managing consumer transactions such as buying load, redeeming rewards, and availing exclusive promos, the super app can practically do it all for subscribers.

“We always find ways on how we can innovate and better serve our customers. With the launch of the new GlobeOne super app, we are empowering our subscribers through simplified processes and convenient customer experience,” said Juuya Reyes, Product Owner of the new GlobeOne App.

The simplified dashboard functions as the subscribers’ home base for total account management, where users can view and monitor current promo subscriptions for data, content, call, and text. Meanwhile, the shop section allows users to buy, send, and request load or credits.

Linking accounts to the app is as easy as just a few clicks. Users can register for a GlobeOne account with their email or social media accounts, and then they’re all set! Registered account holders can simply select which accounts they want to monitor, and all details will be displayed on the app dashboard.

Reyes clarified that the initial launch is specific to prepaid subscribers, with postpaid accounts expected to be onboard within balance year 2021.

Globe Rewards will also be one of the features integrated into the app -- making it easier for customers to manage and redeem their earned points.

Aside from using their rewards points to claim vouchers, it also allows customers to take part in several activities and support any of its various community partners, including Philippine General Hospital Foundation (PGHF), Ayala Foundation, Rise Against Hunger, Save Philippine Seas, and more.

The New GlobeOne app is available for download on both Android’s Google Play and Apple’s App Store.

The company strongly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UN SDG No. 9, which highlights the roles of infrastructure and innovation as crucial drivers of economic growth and development. Globe is committed to upholding the 10 United Nations Global Compact principles and 10 UN SDGs.

Developing Young Tech Talents is Crucial to Support the Growth of E-Commerce

Tweet

E-commerce continues to play a significantly important role in the Philippine market and is estimated to be worth US$12 billion by 2025. As more consumers turn to e-commerce, and as more businesses capitalize on the potential of the emerging digital economy, there is also a rising demand for qualified tech talents. According to Linkedin, tech roles make up the majority of “emerging jobs” in the region, with robotics engineer, cyber security specialist, and javascript developer roles making the job trend list.

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, prepares and nurtures students and professionals for the digital landscape through its various talent development initiatives. One of these is the Shopee Apprentice Program which is an internship program designed to develop young tech talents into leaders through high-impact projects, specialized learning and development training, and mentorships led by Shopee leaders.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “As the demand for tech roles rises, Shopee will continue to train and equip the next generation of leaders through initiatives like the Shopee Apprentice Program. We will ramp up our efforts to provide proper mentorship and a well-rounded work experience for individuals joining our internship program.”

These Participants of the Shopee Apprentice Program highlight how they gained significant professional and personal growth to jumpstart their careers in e-commerce.

For Kyla, the Shopee Apprentice Program was an enriching experience. With a specialization in data science and analytics and equipped with advanced coding skills, she created end-to-end training portals during her stint with the Shopee Business Intelligence Team.

 “Even though the entire program was held virtually, Shopee translated their work culture online which is a great factor in my whole experience as an apprentice. I learned a lot from my mentors and also improved my skills in terms of presentation, time management, and communication. The program encouraged me to step up and be more confident to drive better results with what I do. I am glad a lot of people supported me throughout my whole Shopee journey,” Kyla shared.

Lance, another Shopee Apprentice Program participant, said that his experience was eye-opening, improved his problem-solving skills, and helped him understand the industry better. He worked with the People Team and displayed exemplary standing not only when it comes to his studies but also with his work at Shopee. “With Shopee, I learned how to look at a multifaceted problem, break it down into its constituent parts, and build it back together to form a comprehensive, results-driven strategy. With this mindset, I was able to drive concrete impact by implementing workable solutions that will help drive the business forward.”

After finishing the program, Kyla highly recommends other individuals check out the program for growth and new learnings. “For those who want a career in e-commerce and tech, the Shopee Apprentice Program can definitely equip you with the necessary skills through their mentorships, training, and projects. You can definitely drive your own growth as well as bring value and positive impact to Shopee through this internship. If you are up for a challenge to do meaningful work, the Shopee Apprentice Program might just be for you,” Kyla shared.
