Bangko Kabayan has taken a fresh approach to its annual Sales kickoff and General Assembly events. On March 25, 2023, at the Claro M. Recto Event Center in Lipa City, Batangas, the bank combined these two activities into a single and extraordinary event called BK Summit 2023. With the theme "KEEP GOING, KEEP GROWING! Pushing Beyond Limits," the summit aimed to inspire and motivate employees through a fusion of company summits and leadership conferences. Its objective was to celebrate past achievements while providing an extra push toward future goals.
The event commenced with an uplifting opening message delivered by the President, Ms. Beatriz B. Romulo. She commended the accomplishments of previous years and challenged all attendees to set higher targets for themselves in 2023. This challenge served as a powerful motivator, encouraging each individual to surpass their limits and contribute to the overall success of Bangko Kabayan.
The BK Summit 2023 featured several highlights, including a team-building activity and recognition of outstanding achievements of branches and employees. Team-building exercises aimed to foster a deeper understanding of each other's strengths and to promote the development of innovative ideas and strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve targets. Participants actively engaged in team-building games, showcasing different leadership styles, competitiveness, camaraderie, and the unity of Bangko Kabayan. The final match involved completing a unity puzzle together. These symbolize the collective strength and collaboration within the organization. Additionally, the much-awaited segment of the event was the recognition of branches and employee awardees for their exceptional achievements. These served as an inspiration, encouraging everyone to continue to serve with excellence.
BK Summit 2023 was a momentous occasion that fostered unity, motivation, and personal growth among employees, reinforcing the importance of teamwork and deriving inspiration to overcome future challenges. The theme, "Keep Growing, Keep Going! Push beyond the Limits," encapsulated the spirit of continuous improvement and resilience, reminding everyone that growth is the outcome of collective efforts and perseverance.
James Cash Penney once said, "Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together." This quote resonates with the spirit of the BK Summit 2023, emphasizing that the bank's success is not an accident but a product of the combined dedication and collaboration of its employees.
