My role is to manage and ensure everyone in the Asia team is self-motivated, engaged, and efficient in completing assigned tasks.

What challenges do you deal with in your role at First Point Group? 

Personally, I’d like to use “balance” to describe my daily challenges through my work. Balancing people’s expectations and what I or the team can offer will always be my challenge. Hereby I am not just only referring to the relationships between Clients/Contractors with FPG, but also to internal staff on routine processes. Requirements can be completely varied and raised by different parties, which is why a balanced mindset is crucial for me to satisfy people’s expectations towards a reasonable stage. 

What do you enjoy about the work culture and people at First Point Group? 

It is pleasant to work in a place with professionalism and possibilities. Training is provided timely, extra hands are offered to dig out strengths as well as enhance weaknesses when I look for self-improvement and self-development. All these are giving me chances to expand my potential possibilities in various aspects of both work and life. Being surrounded by a working environment with friendly and supportive people is sincerely enjoyable.
