What I like the most about Abiva is the supportive environment. You know that everyone has each other's backs because it is easy to ask questions and guidance in tasks, especially when you're new. Growth and development is also highly encouraged and people celebrate when your efforts pay off.

The last two years had been very challenging and yet inspiring. I witnessed the struggle of the company and its people to cross another year in limited business operation. Even with great uncertainty, the management remains very positive and accommodating with everyone's concerns.

When I joined Abiva Publishing House, I could say that I was already equipped with the necessary skills for the job. Working with Abiva refined those skills. I learned the initiative to put all the possible 'extra' to improve the projects and to enrich the content.

In my 14 years with Abiva Publishing House Inc., my communication skills have improved and I learned many things in the Book Industry. I am grateful for the training and seminars that Abiva Publishing House Inc. facilitated. In my current position, I enjoy talking to authors and prospective writers and see their works translated into physical books. Seeing the joy in their faces when they receive a copy of their published book is a rewarding experience.

I am thankful for the regular managers’ meetings that were held at the start of the pandemic which served as moral support from the management. Offering loans to employees was a compassionate move by the company despite its financial limitations. I also appreciate the considerations given to employees in terms of flexible work setup and the transporting of office equipment to the staff's homes. HR’s regular online health checks are also noteworthy. Lastly, virtual Tuesday Almusals with the company President was an admirable move for him to reach out to employees on a personal basis.

Abiva is a very family-oriented company. The management did its best to keep us afloat during the pandemic. It is only fitting that we stay and help the company rebuild and bounce back.
