They topped a survey for retention, reputation, leadership and performance
Consulting firm AON Hewitt announced its choice for best employers in the Philippines – DHL Express Philippine Corp, Home Credit, InterContinental Hotels Group, Marriot International and Sodexo Benefits and Rewards Services.
AON Hewitt, citing an employee survey, said the winners were selected for average employee retention, reputation, leadership and performance, reported ABS-CBN News.
According to Prashant Chadha, AON Hewitt managing director for Malaysia and the Philippines, companies need to go the extra mile to attract and retain employees.
Part of this is focusing on a high-performance culture, he said.
The Philippines leads Malaysia and Singapore in average employee engagement, defined as the ability to retain employees, at 69%. The other two countries are at 60%.
Chadha added that it is credibility that helps companies keep employees.
Leading companies also value the growth of their employees, with twice the capacity of filling leadership jobs internally.
“It’s not just leaders from today, it is what do we do to ensure the health of the organization, how we minimize risks for the leadership of the future,” Chadha said.
Special awards were given to Federal Express Pacific LLC for "commitment to leadership," Golden Arches Development Corp (McDonald’s) for "commitment to Gen Y," NutriAsia for "commitment to women" and Telus International Philippines for "commitment to engagement."
