TELUS International Philippines Named 2018 Best Employer in the Philippines and in Asia

Driving employee engagement by creating a caring company culture that fosters high performance, ensures customer satisfaction, and contributes to top and bottom-line growth led both Aon Best Employers Program Awards and the Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability Awards (ACES) to recognize TELUS International Philippines as one of the Best Employers in the Philippines and in Asia for 2018.

The Aon Best Employers program evaluates employee opinions to measure engagement, leadership, performance culture and employer brand. With almost 20 years of experience in best employer studies across the world, and backed by more than 40 years of experience in employee research, the Aon Best Employers program compares organizations to identify those that excel in creating a competitive advantage through their people engagement and become employers of choice.

Meanwhile, ACES Awards recognizes successful companies and individuals in Asia across two main domains: leadership and corporate social responsibility. Their Top Workplaces in Asia award is presented to companies that commit to a people centric approach and demonstrate strong focus on employee empowerment and enrichment.

Both organizations recognize services and achievements of national and international businesses of all sizes for their successful commitment to their employees, which in turn result to the continued success and growth for their organizations.
