Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) received a Gold Stevie® for Employer of the Year in the field of banking at the 2017 Stevie® Awards for Great Employers held last September 22 at Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York.
During a gala event last Friday, UnionBank Executive Vice President and Center Head for Strategic Partnerships Genaro V.

The award recognizes the world’s best employers and human resources professionals, teams, achievements and HR-related products and suppliers who help create and drive great places to work for. More than 500 nominations from organizations around the world were evaluated in this year’s competition.
Stevie Award placements in the 35 Employer of the Year categories were determined by a unique blending of the ratings from professionals and the votes of the general public.
The Stevie Awards, one of the world’s most coveted prizes that was taken from the name Ste- phen (Greek word for “crowned”), organizes several leading global business awards shows including the prestigious International Business Awards and American Business Awards.
