Dear Associates,

Welcome to the June issue of AvonSpeak!

It has been a challenging few weeks for all of us, but the great teamwork you have shown has allowed us to consistently improve our service to Representatives. It is very heartening to receive good feedback from them and to see their earnings restored to normal levels. As I have said before, the service crisis has been a test of our resilience and determination to succeed . We will look back on it from the future as a better and stronger team that has learnt much from the difficulties that we faced and overcame together.                                                                                                                     read more »

"Twenty five years is a lifetime – congratulations for living AVON for the past twenty five years!" Indeed, as Ike Castillo asserted when he congratulated his friend Efren Novilla on his 25th anniversary.

Efren Novilla, Dana Hererra, Daisy Limpin, Pering Banaag and Connie Arboleda were the associates recognized for their dedicated service to AVON for the past twenty five years. While a number of us might be striving for our 5th year anniversary at this stage of our careers, these notable associates have shown the promise of an exciting future and wealth of opportunities this company can offer.                                                                                                                                                                         read more »

It’s the season for navigating long lines to the registrar’s office, hoarding books and hurting wallets! And so the HR Team felt it was the perfect time to spend a few minutes with Earl Angelo Panganiban (ACI Scholar 2010) and Abigail Pel (current ACI scholar) to see how they’re doing and to listen to their musings on college life and life beyond the university halls.                                                                                                               read more »

For the longest time, domestic violence against women has been a serious, sensitive issue kept under wraps, treated as a skeleton in the family closet and a shameful secret that’s never to be talked about.

Globally, 1 out of 3 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime; here in the Philippines, there are 10,482 recorded cases of domestic violence in 2009, and there are 29 women who fall victim to it in a day. The figures speak loudly but the victims don’t and for many reasons. There’s the accompanying stigma, the prejudices, the fault-finding and the fear that survivors would have to face once they begin talking. But talk is exactly what they need to do to stop the vicious cycle of violence in the home.

Last year, we launched the program that would help women take that first major step.
