5 great perks of working from home

 
You can personalize your work area, do more of what you love, and spend more time with family – these are just some of the perks of this new normal work set up

It has been a year since most of the companies in the country shifted to a work-from-home (WFH) setup, and despite being the best alternative to stay safe while working, not everybody thinks it makes the best employment arrangement. There are a lot of things and activities that are terribly missed when working in a physical office, but working at home has great perks as well. Carousell Philippines, the country’s leading online classified platform, created this video of its employees, showing how they have been thriving while working from home for the past year.

Erwan shares passion for cooking with aspiring Michelin Star chef

Food is one of the few things that bring people together. From bonding with loved ones over homemade dinner to meeting new people at restaurants, having someone to share the kitchen with involves shared experiences, shared knowledge, and shared memories as food constantly allows us to build connections with people, as well as create meaningful experiences.

For sustainable traveler, food, and fitness content creator Erwan Heussaff, his love for cooking good food paved the way for connecting with a fan who shares his culinary passion. It is through Carousell Philippines’ Reboxing campaign that the two were able to experience new opportunities and create new possibilities.

The campaign is part of Carousell’s new tagline, “Everyone Wins,” which shows how winning can be as simple as both buyers and sellers getting a great deal or as meaningful as finding new connections and realizing ambitions.

Carousell tackles counterfeit

Carousell, one of the world’s largest and fastest growing classifieds, has launched the Carousell Rights Owners Programme (CROP), a platform that tackles counterfeit listings in collaboration with brand partners. CROP provides assurance to brands, whose rights are more closely protected, and users, who can deal with greater confidence in the marketplace platform.

CROP allows trusted brand partners to directly remove listings of brand replicas from Carousell with zero processing time, thus tightening the content moderation process by drastically reducing the time required for takedowns. First piloted in December 2018 in Singapore, CROP has taken down 13,000 listings in the nine months since its introduction. Only select brand partners, whose activities will be closely monitored by Carousell, will have access to CROP and its content moderation capabilities. Brands that have come onboard CROP include Nike, Grab and luxury brands such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta.
