Life at Manabie is not only about the product, the technology, and the business, but also about having fun and great memories.

For some, social distancing is challenging as you cannot meet your colleagues — out of sight, out of mind. But that’s definitely not the case at Manabie! Social distance cannot separate Manabians. With a little bit of effort, we still manage to live and breath the Manabie Way, and let the spirit channel through, well, our Slack channels.

But what have we done?

  1. Manabie Health Club:

During social distancing, besides trying to keep yourselves from the crowd, keeping yourself healthy is also important. A short treadmill run or a short cycling trip goes a long way in keeping your physical health on point. Being healthy Manabians, we covered almost 200 km in just 1 week period. What an achievement!

2. Share your Mana Nest:

Fact: a cosy, tidy and well-decorated Mana Nest sparks innovative Manabians.

Among coffee, headphones, and snacks, a cozy, comfortable workspace is essential to successful working-from-home. That’s why Manabians are competing in the “Share Your Workspace Challenge!”

Take a look at some of our people’s ManaNests

3. Book Reading Competition — Compete for your mental health!

Knowledge-broadening, brain-exercising, mood-boosting, vocabulary-building, stress-relieving, empathy-augmenting, life-preparing, fun-bringing…

Is there anything that can encompass all of the above? Yes: READING!

“Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.” — Jim Rohn

We Manabians are seeking to rise above the ordinary and have a little fun with our book reading competition. Take a look at the books we’ve been reading for the past two weeks.

Now as we are back to normal state of life, we can proudly say that our social distancing period was not that bad at Manabie, with lots of fun and great memories. How about you? Let us know in the comments section below!
