Philippines' Best Companies to Work for 2025: AIA, B&M, Cloudstaff, EY, FedEx Lead
The HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia - Philippines awards have recognised employers excelling in talent retention, hiring, and multigenerational inclusion. Meanwhile, a new category, the HR Asia Tech Empowerment Awards, honours employers leveraging technology to enhance productivity, safety, and inclusion. The winners, including AIA Philippines, B&M Global Services Manila, Inc., Cloudstaff, EY Global Delivery Services Philippines, and FedEx, demonstrate the Philippines' commitment to fostering a skilled workforce despite challenges like significant workforce reductions and a high attrition rate.
The winning companies foster multigenerational synergy through cross-gen squads, reverse mentoring, and team-level flexibility norms. They hire for skills and potential, widening talent pipelines and accelerating new hires' productivity through academy-style onboarding. These employers treat retention as a design principle, tying pay and benefits to market data and investing in internal mobility and manager capability. The awards use the Total Engagement Assessment Model (TEAM) survey for employee verification and benchmarking, ensuring the winners truly excel in employee engagement. Despite a high job market activity with 94% of employers hiring in 2024, the Philippines also faces significant workforce reductions and a 19.1% attrition rate, making these awards crucial in recognising and encouraging best practices in HR management.
The HR Asia awards, covering fifteen markets across Asia, highlight the Philippines' commitment to creating a dynamic and inclusive work environment. By recognising employers like AIA Philippines, B&M Global Services Manila, Inc., Cloudstaff, EY Global Delivery Services Philippines, and FedEx, these awards encourage others to adopt best practices in talent retention, hiring, and technological integration, ultimately contributing to the country's economic growth and competitiveness.
