Takeda Healthcare Philippines awarded 2017 Top Employer

TAKEDA Healthcare Philippines Inc. ( Takeda Philippines) has been certified as a top employer for its outstanding employee offerings.

The recognition comes from Top Employers Philippines and Top Employers Asia Pacific 2017 through independent research conducted by the Top Employers Institute.

The annual international research undertaken by the institute recognizes leading employers around the world: those that provide excellent employee conditions, nurture and develop talent throughout all levels of the organization, and which strive to continuously optimize employment practices. Takeda Philippines is one of the select companies to achieve the exclusive Top Employers Asia Pacific 2017 certification. Takeda has also been similarly certified in a number of other countries in the region.

“This is a significant milestone for Takeda in the Philippines,” said Gabriel Georgy, president and general manager of Takeda Philippines. “We have focused on investing in our staff, providing an environment that encourages learning and also put in place initiatives that will help our people develop and flourish in their careers. For an organization that has been operational for less than two years, this is something that we should be very proud of. Takeda is also delighted to be part of the exclusive and internation- ally renowned community of Top Employers in Asia Pacific.”

The Top Employers Institute globally certifies excellence in the conditions that employers create for their people. It recently announced the overall results of this year’s research into the employee conditions of significant employers in the region.

Crucial to the Top Employers process is that participating companies must meet the required high standards in the research in order to achieve the certification. In addition, organizations that achieve certification in at least four countries within the region are awarded the special Top Employers Asia Pacific 2017 recognition.

The Top Employers In- stitute assessed Takeda Philippines employee offerings on the following criteria: talent strategy, workforce planning, on- boarding, learning and development, performance management, leadership development, career and succession management, compensation and benefits, and culture.

David Plink, CEO of the Top Employers Institute, said “Our extensive research concluded that Takeda Philippines forms part of a select group of employers that advance employee conditions worldwide. Their people are well taken care of. Now that they have received the Top Employers Asia Pacific 2017 certification, they can truly consider themselves at the top of an exclusive group of the world’s best employers.”
