Empowering Talent in Cebu: The Three Strategies of EY Global Delivery Services

In a post-pandemic world where hybrid and remote work are becoming the norm, creating a positive workplace culture is critical to success. Research shows that relevant, authentic, and inclusive workplace culture can improve organizational performance and employee well-being. EY Global Delivery Services (EY GDS), a network of service delivery centers providing innovative and scalable business services to EY member firms, recognizes this and has identified three key ingredients for a great workplace culture.

The first ingredient is strategic flexibility, which EY GDS had already adopted even before the pandemic. Nitin Dhavale, EY GDS Philippines location leader, says this flexibility has helped the company transition smoothly to remote work and has also given employees a better work-life balance.

It is interesting to note that to date, EY GDS has over 5,000 experienced professionals located in regions across the Philippines. These professionals, who work across technology, transformation and strategy roles, experience this strategic flexibility.

The second ingredient is empowering employees, which EY GDS achieves through its employee value proposition “The exceptional EY experience. It’s yours to build.” The company provides personalized opportunities for advancement, tech knowledge, learning, and mentorship, and supports a diverse and inclusive culture through various programs.

The third ingredient is a sense of belonging, which is achieved by avoiding micromanagement, promoting open communication, building trust and transparency, and encouraging wellness. When employees feel a sense of ownership over their careers and feel that they belong to the organization, it creates a positive workplace culture.

These three ingredients aim to make employees happy and fulfilled in their work and allow them to thrive in the current landscape. EY GDS is dedicated to pursuing impactful results and offers exciting career opportunities for those interested.
