It’s been over two years since I began my journey with Prakerja in May 2022, and what an extraordinary transformation it has been. Joining this impactful program allowed me to not only step inside the very government system that once seemed so complex, but also confront head-on some of Indonesia’s most pressing issues—particularly the quality of our workforce. This journey has been about more than just creating social media content, designing communication strategies, or producing the best visuals. It’s about seeing the real stories of those in the workforce who are determined to change their lives—and making sure those stories are visible. This experience has expanded my empathy and honed my ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of people—across ages 18 to 64, spanning various economic backgrounds, and from different corners of our vast geography. Unlike my previous work in creative consulting and digital startups, this role demands an entirely different level of responsibility and awareness. Communicating as part of the government isn’t just about sending messages; it’s about connecting deeply with citizens, understanding the nuances of language, and selecting words that resonate across social and economic divides. It requires strength of heart, precision of thought, and an unwavering commitment to serve. These two years have been an invaluable lesson in the true meaning of public service. This journey has been far more than a job—it’s been a path to personal and professional growth. I’ve gained new perspectives, sharpened my skills, and discovered an inner resilience that pushes me to serve with purpose. This is not just a chapter in my career, but a cornerstone of who I am becoming. #PublicService #GovernmentCommunications #WorkforceDevelopment #PersonalGrowth #Prakerja #SocialImpact #CommunicationStrategy

Hiring in Indonesia is the secret most businesses haven't yet explored - here's why it's such an underrated place to hire from. A majority of my team is based in Indonesia (usually from Jakarta). People are often surprised by this, because it's not the Philippines. In my opinion, the Philippines are over-utilized and over-hyped. We have some great talent from there but for most roles I still prefer Indonesia. So yes - check out this quick PDF if you want to learn more about why hiring in Indonesia is so great. Have a great Friday! -Charlie

🌐 My thoughts on how I’d improve the Indonesian Work Culture 🚀 No work culture is perfect, so here are some ideas that I’d advocate for Indonesia based on my experience from working in first world countries. 🕒 Demoting Age-Related Questions: In Indonesia, there's often a correlation between age and experience. If I were at the helm of the Ministry of Manpower, I'd advocate for making it illegal to ask about age in work circumstances. This shift could empower young talents whose capabilities might be overshadowed by traditional perceptions. 🚗 Promoting Work-Life Balance: With Jakarta's notorious traffic and the toll it takes on work-life balance, I'd champion hybrid or remote work options. Embracing flexibility can contribute to an increase in employee well-being. This will be a tough one for many Indonesians to accept since many managers still correlate working late hours with being productive. 🌍 Breaking Down Ethnic Barriers: In some Indonesian companies, the preference for a specific race can still exist, hindering diversity and inclusion. Legislation could play a role here—making it illegal to ask for race and enforcing diversity by setting targets for representation. Learning from people with diverse backgrounds has enriched my professional journey. What do my fellow Indonesians think?💼 #WorkCulture #DiversityandInclusion #ContinuousImprovement
