Top conglomerate partners with modern HR technology platform to embrace digital workplace

ONE of the Philippines’s largest and more diversified conglomerates, JG Summit Holdings Inc. (www.jgsummit. com.ph), announced its move to digitalize HR in partnership with new-age HR tech platform provider Darwinbox (www.darwinbox.com). In a bid to reaffirm the company’s commitment toward providing the best experience to its employees, JG Summit bared its plan to completely digitalize its HR processes to empower their employees and the organization to always be future-ready.

In the wake of the pandemic, it became clear that digital is a critical lever for every organization to lead and compete.

With HR transformation now on the front burner and HR itself turning into a major center for innovation, the company was on the lookout for the best tech partner to realize its vision. On exploring the market and closely evaluating several global solutions, JG Summit chose Darwinbox for its new-age technology, supreme agility and expertise in solving for Asian enterprises.

“We believe that going digital is the way forward and we are happy to have partnered with new-age and innovative HR solutions provider Darwinbox, the human capital management [HCM] solutions provider of choice of Asian conglomerates and multinational corporations in the region for their digital transformation initiatives. Their mobile-first and futuristic platform will play a critical role in bringing the digital agility and experience we intend to offer our employees,” said Lance Y. Gokongwei, JG Summit president and CEO.

Darwinbox is a new-age, hire-to-retire HCM solution that enables organizations to engage, empower and ultimately unleash the highest potential of their people. Awarded as Asia’s most preferred HCM by Gartner, Darwinbox today serves more than 500-plus Asian enterprises and more than 1 million-plus employees using the platform. The company has recently been backed by the world’s largest cloud player Salesforce.

“We are thrilled to partner with one of the leading conglomerates in the Philippines and are excited about revolutionizing the HR experience for their employees,” said Jayant Paleti, co-founder, Darwinbox.

In the months to come, the Philippine conglomerate will digitalize the HR function of several of their business units using Darwinbox across several aspects of HR including Recruitment, Onboarding, Performance Management and Talent Management.
