VOICE OF
GARUDA
Dear valued Garuda Indonesia customers,
On the 20 th of February every year,
Indonesia commemorates National
Workers Day. In a recent research,
Indonesia is recorded to have a highly
productive working class—it is in fact
the fourth country with the highest
productivity rate according to an analysis
titled The Olympics of Work: Ranking the
Most Productive Countries by Redbooth.
And we believe that to support this
productivity is to put in place relevant
infrastructure, such as by building
workplaces that are equipped with
adequate facilities to meet the needs
of the modern-day worker.
Over the past few years, we have witnessed
the rise of co-working spaces; spaces
designed with ‘sharing’ in mind. Unlike the
conventional workplace or office, this
alternative working environment is built
around three main elements: community,
collaboration and connectivity.
Today, all Garuda Indonesia Group
employees can experience the new
co-working space that is now available at
the Garuda Central Operations (Garuda
Sentra Operasi) building in Soekarno-Hatta
International Airport, Cengkareng. Beyond
Wi-Fi and a comfortable working area, the
space is designed with a layout meant to
enhance convenience, equipped with LED
TV to be used for presentations in each
meeting and conference room, and is
brimming with warmth as it becomes a
melting pot where employees from different
units are able to work alongside each other.
The 2nd Annual Co-working Survey released
by Deskmag reports that the co-working
model can positively affect how people
work. At this co-working space, everyone
is free to work on individual tasks or
connect with one another to expand their
network and build collaborations.
The launch of this new co-working space is
aligned with the launch of fresh, creative
and innovative new works, especially at a
time where over 60% of Garuda Indonesia
Group comprises millennials, a generation
known for their creative, borderless,
tech-savvy and outspoken character.
According to the same survey, a co-
working space could increase productivity
by up to 75% and expand one’s business
network by 80%. It is no wonder that the
Co-working Space Association claims that
co-working space operators in Indonesia
have spiked in numbers in recent years,
seeing an increase of up to 400% since
2016. These new co-working space can be
found spread across the archipelago, from
Batam all the way to Papua.
In line with Garuda Indonesia’s
commitment in implementing Service
Excellence, the company is also
continuously looking for ways to
accommodate innovations by employees.
This manifests itself in the recent
‘Innovation Day’ program, which has
given birth to several new breakthroughs
that have the potential to deliver a
positive impact across the company.
Providing the kind of service that is
impactful, valuable, and marketable
requires effective and solid team work.
For Garuda Indonesia, the push to create
a Moment of Truth and New Experience
for customers is stronger than ever.
We should not be pessimistic, apathetic
or indifferent. On the contrary, it is on
us to continue to foster a fighting spirit
and a winner’s mindset.
Real victory is achieved with
unconventional thoughts, creativity,
commitment and thoughtfulness, all
without dismissing the importance
of adhering to existing rules, systems
and procedures. It is necessary to
feel motivated to move forward and
take action, shape positive emotions
into positive energy and to enter the
arena not as a spectator but as a
champion player.
Together let us become the better version
of ourselves and achieve absolute victory!
Just do it and change it.
Best wishes,
Flytizen
Garuda Indonesia
