MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fifty-four companies across the Philippines won the HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2024 Awards on the back of attracting Gen Z talents.

The awards, organised by leading HR publication, HR Asia, are also held in 14 other countries across Asia, making it the largest recognition program and survey in the region for employee engagement. With the theme of "The Definitive Z Choice," the 2024 winners exemplify the challenges and opportunities presented by the influx of Gen Z, or "Zoomers," into the workforce. These companies have excelled not only in attracting and retaining young talent but also in cultivating a workplace culture that champions diversity, collaboration, and continuous innovation—values highly prized by the new generation.

A study by Deloitte Philippines reveals that Filipino Gen Zs are significantly more optimistic than their global peers about their ability to drive positive change at work. According to the study, 89% of Filipino Gen Zs, compared to 58% globally, believe they have the power to influence change and that their organizations actively seek and incorporate employee feedback. This positive dialogue between employers and employees is yielding promising results.

Supporting this view, HR Asia's proprietary TEAM Survey, which surveyed 18,349 employees from 210 companies — 47% of whom were Gen Z — echoed this optimism. Respondents strongly agreed with the statement, "I constantly look for ways to improve my contributions and my role within this organization," which received a high rating of 4.58 out of 5. Additionally, the statement, "Our organization encourages open communication and cooperation between managerial and non-managerial roles," also received a strong rating of 4.55 out of 5, underscoring the positive employer-employee dialogue within these organizations.

The HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2024 - Philippines award winners have demonstrated unwavering dedication to employee satisfaction, welfare, and development. By fostering positive work environments that promote growth and excellence, these companies have set a benchmark for others to follow, emerging as leaders in employee satisfaction and development.

The insights and experiences shared by the 18,349 survey participants provide a comprehensive overview of the workplace landscape in the Philippines. Their contributions highlight a deep-rooted commitment to enhancing workplace environments and underscore the importance of employee voice in shaping organizational culture and practices.

"With an ever-growing number of Zoomers entering the workforce, companies face a unique set of challenges. The life experiences and expectations of this younger generation differ significantly from those of previous generations, which can lead to potential discord in the workplace. It is encouraging to see that more organizations in the Philippines are proactively addressing these challenges and achieving higher employee satisfaction by championing inclusivity and actively listening to their employees' needs," said William Ng, group publisher of HR Asia.

HR Asia concurrently recognises employers under three distinctive award categories, including the HR Asia Sustainable Workplace Awards, reflecting the organization's commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices. The HR Asia Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Awards recognize organizations that have made significant strides in creating diverse and inclusive workplaces. Additionally, the HR Asia Most Caring Company Awards honor organizations that have shown exceptional care for their employees, particularly during challenging times.

This year, the awards also celebrated the achievements of five Gold winners, each of whom has received the award for five consecutive years or more. These outstanding organizations have consistently demonstrated their commitment to creating and maintaining exceptional workplace environments. The distinguished Gold winners for HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2024 - Philippines are Everise Philippines Ltd., Mondelēz Philippines, Inc., Monocrete Construction Philippines, Inc., Puregold Price Club, Inc., and Startek Philippines.

Human Resource Educators' Association of the Philippines, Inc. is also credited as the official supporting partner of the 2024 Philippines HR Asia Best Companies to work for in Asia.
