CHI recognized among Asia’s best employers

CHEVRON Holdings Inc. (CHI) recently hauled two employer of choice awards from prestigious international award-giving bodies in recognition of its exemplary employment practices and workplace culture that prevail even amid unprecedented times.

CHI was named one of the ‘Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2020’ by HR Asia, Asia's most authoritative publication for human resource (HR) professionals. The publication lauded the company for raising the bar for employee engagement and workplace excellence in the region.

“Receiving this award even in the midst of these difficult, uncertain times is immensely meaningful. It is a validation of our emphasis on employee safety and well-being, and on diversity and inclusion as the centerpieces of our culture. It inspires us to continue the Chevron Way and to be agile in responding to changing times,” CHI General Manager Steven James Callaghan said.

Out of the 150 companies shortlisted for the award, only 21 emerged as winners. The awardees were selected based on the strict judging criteria by a panel of judges and on a survey conducted among employees across Asia using the publication’s proprietary Total Engagement Assessment Model.

The winners were announced during the virtual awarding ceremony held on December 31, 2020.

Aside from the HR Asia award, CHI also copped the highly coveted Global Best Employer Brand Award at the 15th Employer Branding Awards ceremony held on February 16, 2021.

The award is given by the Employer Branding Institute to companies that have utilized HR strategies in managing their employees and advancing their professional growth. Employer Branding Institute is a virtual global organization comprised of senior HR leaders from over 36 countries, recognized for their contributions to employer branding and talent management practices.

In response to the health crisis, CHI immediately shifted to work-from-home arrangements. Financial assistance and health consultations are also continuously provided to help them pull through the pandemic.

To also propel the country’s recovery, CHI, together with Chevron Philippines Inc., donated funds to the Philippine General Hospital Medical Foundation Inc. last year to provide medical supplies for healthcare workers. Last December, CHI also donated funds to help rehabilitate the communities affected by Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses.
