SM named by Forbes among World’s Best Employers

SM Investments Corp. has been recognized among Forbes’ sixth annual World’s Best Employers in partnership with market research company Statista published in October.

Forbes and Statista selected the World’s Best Employers 2022 based on independent surveys of roughly 150,000 employees in more than 55 countries around the world.

Participants were asked to rate employers according to various topics such as image, trust, gender equality, corporate social responsibility, culture and benefits.

“We thank Forbes for this citation. This reflects our commitment to make SM the best workplace for our dedicated and hardworking people. We also give recognition to our employees in helping us achieve our mission and vision and sharing the strong values that make us SM,” SM President and Chief Executive Officer Frederic DyBuncio said.

To make sure that SM employees and their families were safe during the pandemic, SM embarked on a full vaccination campaign, while monitoring for surges of new variants and acting swiftly to provide flexible work arrangements for its teams. SM kept its workplaces safe with continued testing, regular disinfection and following strict health protocols.

SM works hard at being an equal opportunity provider with 63 percent of women in its workforce and 58 percent in senior leadership roles. It also maintains a mix of people from diverse backgrounds, generations and skill sets to mirror the diverse customers and communities it serves.

The company recently appointed Elizabeth Anne “Lizanne” Uychaco as its first Group Diversity Officer. For the position, Uychaco will work with different companies across the SM Group in advancing gender equality and championing inclusion.

The top 10 companies on the Forbes World’s Best Employers list were occupied by major tech giants, including South Korea’s Samsung and American multinational tech firms Microsoft and IBM.
