The IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP) said it has partnered with Great Place To Work Philippines to publish the inaugural list of Philippines’s best workplaces in the IT and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) industry for 2023.
This list, IBPAP noted, will recognize “high-trust” workplaces within the industry and “showcase why it is one of the country’s most vibrant and dynamic sectors.”
“This milestone collaboration with the global authority on workplace culture will highlight the reasons why the IT-BPM industry grew to become the Philippines’s biggest private-sector employer with 1.44 million full-time employees [FTEs] as of 2021,” the flagship organization of the IT-BPM industry said in a news statement issued on Monday.
Further, it noted, the collaboration aims to bring awareness to the diverse and inclusive workplace culture within the sector, “making it a career option of choice and a source of pride and inspiration for many Filipinos.”
For its part, Antoinette Mendoza-Talosig, Managing Partner of Great Place To Work Philippines, said this partnership with IBPAP paves the way for the firm to advance its mission.
“Great Place To Work has the ambitious mission of building a better world by creating great places to work For AllTM. We are happy about this collaboration with IBPAP because it gives us the opportunity to advance our mission and to positively impact the industry that houses the biggest number of Filipino talents, which plays a major role in the country’s growth and development,” said Mendoza-Talosig.
“We look forward to awarding the industry players and leaders who have built high-trust workplace cultures through our Best Workplaces List; an accolade acknowledged worldwide as the gold standard of recognition,” she added.
IBPAP President Jack Madrid recognized the Filipino talent, noting that it will remain as the “driving force” of expansion and growth of the sector in the Philippines.
“Together with our stakeholders, IBPAP is setting out to reinforce the IT-BPM industry’s role as an indispensable pillar of the economy through sustained job creation and foreign exchange inflows while striving towards making the Philippines a world capital in IT-BPM services,” the IBPAP chief said.
“In parallel, we also want to celebrate everything that we’ve accomplished, elicit pride in those who’ve helped us reach this point, and encourage others to become part of the sector,” Madrid added.
Great Place To Work is the global authority on workplace culture. It noted that its mission is to help every place become a great place to work for all through their groundbreaking research, which it said is built on data from more than 100 million employees in 150 countries across the globe.
Based on its 2022 List, the best workplaces in the Philippines are DHL Express, Synchrony Global Services Philippines, Accenture, [24]7.ai, American Express International Philippines, Ingram Micro, RealPage, Coca-Cola Beverage Philippines, Teleperformance, and ADP.
