Manila, Philippines is buzzing with excitement, and it's not just because of the vibrant street food scene or the picturesque sunsets over Manila Bay. Fifty-four companies across the Philippines have bagged the prestigious HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2024 Awards. This accolade is a testament to their exceptional prowess in attracting Gen Z talents. You might be wondering, what's the big deal about these awards? Well, they're organized by HR Asia, a leading HR publication, and recognize the cream of the crop across 14 countries in Asia. This makes it the largest recognition program for employee engagement in the region.
The theme for 2024 is "The Definitive Z Choice," and it couldn't be more fitting. The winners are not just about snazzy offices or free coffee; they're about embracing the challenges and opportunities that come with the influx of Gen Z, or "Zoomers," into the workforce. These companies champion diversity, collaboration, and innovation—values that are near and dear to the hearts of this new generation.
Let's dive into some juicy details. According to a study by Deloitte Philippines, Filipino Gen Zs are on a different wavelength compared to their global peers. A whopping 89% of them feel they have the power to drive positive change at work. That's in stark contrast to the global average of 58%. They truly believe their organizations actively seek and incorporate employee feedback. This isn't just some pipe dream—HR Asia's proprietary TEAM Survey backs it up. Out of 18,349 employees surveyed from 210 companies, 47% were Gen Z. These Zoomers aren't just sitting back; they're on a mission to improve their contributions and roles within their organizations.
But why are Filipino Gen Zs so optimistic? One word: dialogue. Positive communication between employers and employees is the secret sauce. It's like a well-choreographed dance where both parties are in sync. Statements like "Our organization encourages open communication and cooperation between managerial and non-managerial roles" received stellar ratings. This isn't just a pat on the back for employers; it's a call to action for others to follow suit.
The HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2024 - Philippines awards aren't just a one-size-fits-all deal. There are three distinctive categories, each reflecting the diverse landscape of workplace excellence.
1. **HR Asia Sustainable Workplace Awards**: This category is for those companies with a commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices. It's about creating workplaces that don't just thrive today but sustain for the future.
2. **HR Asia Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Awards**: Celebrating organizations that have made significant strides in creating diverse and inclusive workplaces, this category is all about breaking barriers and fostering a sense of belonging.
3. **HR Asia Most Caring Company Awards**: These are the organizations that have shown exceptional care for their employees, especially during challenging times. It's about being there when it matters the most.
This year also marked the celebration of five outstanding Gold winners who've consistently maintained exceptional workplace environments. Everise Philippines Ltd., Mondelēz Philippines, Inc., Monocrete Construction Philippines, Inc., Puregold Price Club, Inc., and Startek Philippines are shining examples of dedication and excellence.
The insights from the TEAM Survey have provided a comprehensive overview of the workplace landscape in the Philippines. With a significant portion of the respondents being Gen Z, their contributions have highlighted a deep-rooted commitment to enhancing workplace environments. It's about more than just having a fancy office or cool perks; it's about nurturing a culture where employee voices are heard and valued.
The challenge of integrating Zoomers into the workforce is not without its hurdles. Their life experiences and expectations differ significantly from those of previous generations, potentially leading to discord in the workplace. However, it’s heartening to see more organizations in the Philippines rising to the occasion. They’re championing inclusivity and actively listening to their employees' needs, resulting in higher employee satisfaction.
As William Ng, group publisher of HR Asia, aptly puts it, "With an ever-growing number of Zoomers entering the workforce, companies face a unique set of challenges. It is encouraging to see that more organizations in the Philippines are proactively addressing these challenges and achieving higher employee satisfaction."
As we raise a toast to the future, the HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2024 - Philippines winners serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration. They are leading the way in creating workplaces that are not just about profits but about people. They've set a benchmark for others to follow, emerging as leaders in employee satisfaction and development.
The journey doesn't end here. With the insights and experiences shared by the 18,349 survey participants, there’s a roadmap for enhancing workplace environments. It's a call to action for organizations to continue fostering positive work environments that promote growth, inclusivity, and innovation.
So, here's to the companies that have made it to the top, and to those on their way. Let's continue to embrace the challenges and opportunities that come with the Gen Z wave. After all, the future is bright, and it's in the hands of the Zoomers. Cheers!
