“We really were very pleased with the programme, and I’d like to provide a few specific comments. Yong Jun and TEAM were wonderful, organised, professional, friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. YJ and TEAM facilitated a very successful programme, and brought in our theme of embracing change in very nice ways. The handling of some unexpected incident was exceptional such as the bus breakdown and especially the loss of a passport.  I cannot thank Lindsay, Heather, Tze Hao and Mugan enough for the expert handling of this situation. The Incredible Race! was very good and everyone enjoyed it. The Facilitators were excellent, engaging, energetic and fun! The second day activities were very well connected to change by the Facilitators thus I was very pleased about that. The stay at Hatten Hotel Melaka and the Peranakan Dinner at Equatorial Hotel were very good! Many thanks to all for an excellent retreat and everyone had a very good time; they loved seeing the photos and videos of our adventures! ”

THE REGION’S BEST TEAM BUILDING TRAINING PROVIDERS

FOCUS Adventure won the gold trophy at 2015’s Vendors of the Year (VOTY) awards in Singapore, in the coveted category of best team building training provider.

The trainer is known for posting challenges on the team spirit of corporate and the physicality of their staff and is the owner of Singapore’s first ever Team Challenge Hourglass (TCH).

Griness took home the silver in this category, followed by bronze award winner Gogreen.

Being held in Hong Kong for the first time,Team Building Asia took home the gold trophy for the category over at the 2015’s Vendors of the Year (VOTY) awards in Hong Kong, while the silver went to Hong Kong Disneyland and Total Loyalty Company.

Gold winner Team Building Asia is credited with delivering a significant number of team building events across the Asia Pacific region to more than 100,000 training participants, including across Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau, Shanghai and Taipei.

The Vendors of the Year awards, organised by Human Resources magazine, is a long-running annual vendor rankings report that recognises the best solution providers in Asia – starting out in Singapore, and this year extended to Malaysia and Hong Kong.

In the first year of the VOTY research in Hong Kong, all winners were determined on a two-tier selection process. First, the finalists were identified through an extensive online survey of HR managers in Asia on their preferences.

These finalists then submitted documentation to verify their credentials, which was validated by a panel of more than 19 HR leaders from some of the region’s largest employers.

In effect, for every category, the very end users of such services were the ones who made the critical decision of selecting the best.

In the 2015’s Vendors of the Year (VOTY) awards in Malaysia, D Jungle People picked up the gold award, Lawrence Walter Seminars bagged sliver and the bronze award went to Fish Camp Learning.

With more than 15 years of experience in the people development industry, gold award winner D Jungle People has developed and implemented a range of solutions designed to help organisations achieve their peak potential.
