SANDOZ Philippines was recently recognized as one of the 35 awardees of this year’s HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia Awards.
The HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia Awards is an awards recognition program for organizations identified by their employees as one of Asia’s employers of choice and ascertains the best employers to work for. The award targets companies across Asia and recognizes companies with the best HR practices demonstrating high levels of employee engagement and excellent workplace cultures.
More than 11,800 employees from 185 Philippine companies took part in HR Asia’s proprietary Total Engagement Assessment Model — ranking their employers on metrics ranging from workplace happiness and team cohesion to employee advocacy and continued job motivation.
“Apart from our regular internal engagement survey, which measures how employees feel about working at Sandoz, our participation in this external recognition process marked a great milestone for us as an organization where we can further strengthen our employer brand, learn from each other and feel proud of the company where we are working at,” said Ninna Arellano, People and Organization head of Sandoz Philippines. “This is the best gift we can receive on our 20th anniversary. It is a testament to our commitment to the Filipino people and our employees.”
Circling back to the goal of encouraging their employees to act for the betterment of the environment, Sandoz has also conducted simultaneous tree-planting activities in different parts of the country, in partnership with the Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
“On the other hand, as a responsible organization and corporate citizen, it is also our duty to do our part for the community and the environment. This is also our way of partaking in our global ambition to be a catalyst for positive change by continuing to invest in our planet,” added Lopez.
