B. Nutrition Program

Part of the company’s core value sessions is a module on nutrition, its importance, and its effects when properly maintained. The company’s nutrition program aims to ensure that all college scholars are able to maintain a regular intake of important vitamins and minerals to keep them fit for both work and school activities. The scholars are encouraged to patronize the company’s subsidized lunch meals in order for them to have access to meals with proper nutritional content.


C. Rewards Program

The rewards program is an incentive provided by the company to deserving college scholars who are able to maintain a certain grade point average in school-sanctioned short or long exams, projects, midterm exams and final exams. Requirements that correspond to a grade of 86 to 100% are rewarded a specific number of points based on grade range.

One point corresponds to one peso, and these points can be used toward purchasing school or personal essentials, such as snacks, lunch, or school supplies. Receipts are required to be submitted to the HR Department in order for these reward points to be reimbursed to the scholar in cash.


D. Counseling Program
The company’s counseling program is made available for cases that the college scholars may need an outlet for any pressing issues or stressful matters in any aspect, be it academic, work, social, or emotional. The managerial team is always open to listening and helping solve (if necessary) any problems that the scholars are encountering.

Another form of counseling and sharing that is implemented is the daily office morning sessions, which revolve around a specific value every week. During these 15 to 20-minute sessions, managers and scholars alike are encouraged to release any burdens or stories of encouragement to their co-workers. This activity is meant to foster a sense of unity, openness, and trust in the Messy Bessy family.
