HR UPDATES

ASCO Power celebrated Black History Month with Jeopardy!

Welcome, North Carolina

What’s Black History Month?

Black History Month is an annual observance originating in the United States, where it is also known as African-American History Month. Black History Month was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. It honors all Black people from all periods of U.S. history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today.

HOBBY SPOTLIGHT

Maritess Bernardino is a Digital Marketing Specialist based in Manila. She coordinates projects across different teams and gets the job done. When winding down from a long day of work, Maritess watches Korean dramas. Her fascination with the genre started when she was watching a localized version of Love in the Moonlight on television. She found it so engaging and ended up searching the web to watch full episodes.

Maritess’ Top 5 K-Dramas

Love in the Moonlight

Crash Landing on You

Record of Youth

I’m Not a Robot

Fight for My Way

What I like about it: • The stories are fascinating, educational, and relatable • Although there are only 16 episodes, the stories blend seamlessly What I find challenging: • Reading subtitles • Having a bad internet connection when you’re fully hooked into the story

COLLABORATOR’S NOTE

Jacob Simmons HR Coordinator

ASCO truly appreciates its employees’ feedback .

Campaigns like OneVoice generate many improvement projects geared towards making a positive work experience. From an HR standpoint, this allows us to connect with employees and learn what they value from our organization. Being able to show employees we care and recognize their dedication goes a long way. This is how our Employee Appreciation Day came about; employees spoke, and we listened.

We plan to have an Employee Appreciation Day annually.
