With the ongoing pandemic, professionals may find the line that separates work and personal life blurry. Heavy workloads and personal affairs are constantly intertwining. You simply cannot divide yourself when important family duties happen at the same time as virtual meetings with clients.

Additionally, thanks to digital transformation, almost all aspects of our lives are now integrated into an electronic device. One may simply suggest a work-life balance; striking an equal allotment of time and energy for personal and work life. However, this is not the case anymore. Consequently, the concept known as work-life blend works differently to prevent overworking. It allows a healthy allocation of energy, time, and focus for work and personal activities.

To combat work exhaustion, companies are coming up with new employee engagement models that blend work and life according to their employees’ lifestyles. Sun Life Grepa Financial Inc. (Sun Life Grepa), a major life insurance company in the country, provides initiatives that take into consideration personal priorities while still maintaining strong productivity at work.

Here are the benefits of work-life blending during the new normal:

More Flexibility, More Productivity

Being in a company that values work-life blending means you take a fluid approach to work. Going out to meet clients may involve time for a quick stop to the drug store for an emergency purchase, lunch breaks can progress into work research. Your skills and abilities are not maxed out but you feel motivated to be efficient because you get tasks done without compromising on the other.

Furthermore, an office that sets up engaging activities for interactions even online is sure to foster a positive workplace culture. Sun Life Grepa uses virtual salu-salo activities, regular wellness sessions and even hobby-related webinars to ensure that employees have time to enjoy and take their minds off of work.

More Emphasis on Self-Improvement

With a work-life blend, you have time to develop personal growth. It entails working without sacrificing quality and efficiently finishing your tasks for the day. This way, you get to find the energy needed to focus on other things that matter such as spending time with loved ones, keeping up with hobbies and even upskilling.

Organizations that encourage work-life blending will offer initiatives that improve employee well-being. Commonly available programs are webinar lectures and virtual training workshops like Sun Life Grepa’s Agile webinars, where employees learn new tools that they can apply not just to their work, but also to their day-to-day living.

Less Stress, More Happiness

Embracing work-life blending requires creating a unique workplace experience. When done successfully, it reduces stress and prevents burnout. Breaking out of a monotonous work schedule provides a mentally stimulating experience and encourages new ways of working. For example, Sun Life Grepa implemented a monthly wellness talk based on topics that their employees needed — ranging from building healthy habits, proper posture, healthy meal preparation, improving resiliency and the like. As part of their #fit2bFIT program, they also offered weekend exercise sessions that gave the whole family an opportunity to get fit together.

Work-life blending is structured to treat every employee like a human being rather than a resource. It encourages you to reap all the benefits of managing every aspect of your life holistically without the need to separate them into halves.

The best way to achieve a successful work-life blend is to be part of a company that fully supports the blend. Sun Life Grepa believes productivity and performance are crucial but overall well-being is supreme.

With the work-from-home setup being the new normal, advancing on a career has become a challenge. Job seekers, even employees, are constantly looking for ways to achieve success in their profession despite the COVID-19 pandemic, whether it’s attaining financial stability for their future or working on fulfilling their personal goals.

As soon as the pandemic hit in 2020, a recession ensued that left millions of jobless Filipinos. This resulted in people looking for ways to find success elsewhere. Now, the ongoing crisis still presents many struggles for those who want to succeed in their professional career. It will be challenging to realize your goals, but it is manageable given the right direction. Here’s how you can still achieve success even in the surge of a pandemic.

SET GOALS. As you spend more time at home, assess your situation and create a detailed plan of what you want to accomplish, including your priorities, and keep track of your progress. How do you establish professional habits and strategies to receive a certification, surpass a sales quota, or even reach more customers while at home? Being specific about your goals helps you organize your time and resources to make the most of your life.

INVEST IN GROWTH. Be amenable to expanding your horizons and invest in nurturing a hybrid skillset through hobbies and online learning. You can attend investment seminars, digital marketing courses, apply for volunteer work, or avail free training. As you expand your knowledge and self-worth, you become more invaluable.

AIM FOR HARMONY. Maintaining a good work-life blend is crucial when you work at home. Establish a harmonious relationship between advancement opportunities and promoting self-care. This involves being flexible when interacting with clients at any time of the day, accessing social media, and making time for hobbies.

SECURE YOUR SUCCESS. One thing that the pandemic has taught us is to be prepared for unexpected situations. It helps to develop a broad range of competencies (you love) that you can carry with you in case changes in your professional career occur. Similar to a life insurance advisor with business skills and a risk manager with creative design skills, many have sought other ways to make use of their experiences to secure new ways to earn.

Another way to ensure career success is to secure your finances to prepare you for emergencies. During these times of uncertainty, it is best to have the support that will assist you in your financial needs. The best companies offer financial security benefits to help you get the protection you need for yourself and your loved ones.

Sun Life Grepa Financial Inc. (Sun Life Grepa), a major life insurance company in the Philippines, offers valuable benefits to secure a life of success throughout your journey with the company and even after you leave.

Achieving success during a pandemic is possible when you have a clear outlook and the right people or an institution assisting you every step of the way. Sun Life Grepa provides opportunities for self-growth and development—letting you focus on turning your dreams into reality.

Set yourself up for success and become Partners Beyond A Lifetime.

Over the past year, more and more people have started to understand the importance of having a good health insurance plan resulting to an increased demand for health protection products. Getting sick does not exempt anyone, both children and adults alike, and with the rising cost of health services, access to quality medical facilities and hospitalization expenses can be financially strenuous.

This is the reason why Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa), a major life insurance company in the country, extends its Critical Illness Benefit (CIB) Rider to minors, starting from 30 days old up to 17 years old. The CIB Rider is initially offered only to clients who are 18 to 60 years old.

“While no parent wants to consider the possibility of their child becoming sick, it is important to be prepared for any untoward circumstances and unforeseen health emergencies as one critical illness can be a tremendous financial burden,” Richard S. Lim, Sun Life Grepa President said. “With critical illness insurance, you won’t have to worry about securing funds needed for treatment so you can get focus on what really matters: taking care of your children and keeping your family safe and protected,” he added.

The CIB Rider is an optional benefit which can be attached to select Sun Life Grepa traditional life and variable unit-linked plans. It pays a guaranteed lump sum benefit in case the insured is diagnosed with any of the 36 covered critical illnesses such as Heart Attack, Stroke or Cancer, among others, provided that the said diagnosis meets the definitions and provisions of the policy.

When you have a clear picture of what you are aiming for, working towards your target is easy. With a combination of having a well-thought-out action plan and the right partner, you can achieve the big vision you have for your life and your family on your set timeline.

To help clients bring their financial goals to reality, Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa), a major life insurance company in the country, developed the SLG MyFuture Fund, a target-date fund that is designed to provide a distinct and simple investment solution that helps clients start building their wealth, maximize their money’s earning potential, and reach their goals according to their target date, while enjoying guaranteed life insurance protection until the fund matures. SLG MyFuture is a fund option for any Sun Life Grepa peso variable insurance plans.

“Planning for your long-term road map should not be complicated. Whether your vision for a brighter future is owning your dream house, securing your child’s education, starting a business, or enjoying a comfortable retirement, you would want to achieve these milestones within your target timeline. Through the SLG MyFuture Fund, we can help you meet your goals in life on time,” says Richard S. Lim, Sun Life Grepa President.

Expertly managed by Sun Life Grepa’s professional fund managers, SLG MyFuture Fund comes in six different maturity dates that policyholders can choose from: 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045, 2050 and 2055. SLG MyFuture Fund follows a pre-determined glide path which maximizes earning potential in the earlier years through higher asset allocation in equities, and then automatically transitions to wealth preservation by shifting the funds’ allocation towards more fixed income assets as the fund nears maturity. This ensures the fund’s exposure to risk is minimized as the maturity date nears so that whatever gains the funds made in the earlier years are better preserved. Moreover, because they have availed of Sun Life Grepa’s variable insurance plans, clients are assured of life insurance coverage so they can have peace of mind knowing that their family is prepared no matter what happens.

With SLG MyFuture Fund, one can start their own journey towards a brighter future in three easy steps: 1) Set a target date for your specific financial goal, 2) Choose an SLG MyFuture Fund that matures closest to your target date, and 3) Pair the fund with the most suitable Sun Life Grepa peso variable unit-linked product, which includes Sun Grepa Power Builder 1, 5, 10 or 100.

“SLG MyFuture Fund takes into account the client’s financial needs, their investment time horizon and tolerance for risk,” Lim said. “For example, if a client intends to build their dream home after 10 years, they could opt for SLG MyFuture Fund 2030. At the start, our fund managers will invest the fund mostly in equities to maximize its growth. But when the maturity date nears, in this case, 2030, they will shift it to more conservative assets in order to preserve the wealth accumulated during the early years in anticipation of the client’s timeline to build their dream home,” he added.
