Facebook Malaysia motivate their\nstaff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook Malaysia know how to look\nafter their staff. From the pantry to the office area, every single detail of\nFacebook Malaysia headquarters amazed us all. It\u2019s not only the free beverages\n(which we enjoyed), but also the freedom and resources they have given to their\nemployees. Besides the spacious desk area, there are facilities like a quiet\nroom (for meditation, and phones are banned), a massage chair, and a games room\nfor staff to relax from a busy workload.  These things are a very good way\nto motivate Facebook employees to work effectively, providing them with an\nenvironment to help maintain their work-life balance, which in turn helps\nmaximize their efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

After the tour, we talked to one of Facebook Malaysia\u2019s team members. He shared the macro view of the social media industry and how Facebook benefits businesses. He used an example to illustrate how small businesses are using Facebook nowadays. Using Facebook as a fish-trading platform, a Malaysian fisherman sells all his fresh fish catch-of-the-day before his boat returns to the island. It shows how technologies have been changing our daily lives; they act as a catalyst for any business, ultimately increasing their sales and business efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an unforgettable visit for\nall of us, as we would never get the chance to see a Facebook ‘behind the\nscenes’. Thanks to TIME dotCom for organising this \u2013 it was a good Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
