Philam Group awarded for commitment to employee engagement

MANILA, Philippines — Philam Group, the country’s premier life insurance company, solidifies its leadership in the industry with another recognition—this time for exemplifying excellence in employee engagement.

Held at the Manila Peninsula, the Aon Global Best Employers Program awarded the Philam Group with a Special Recognition for Commitment to Engagement. The ceremony also awarded other companies who met and excelled in four critical areas of talent management—high employee engagement, effective leadership, compelling employer brand and high performance culture.

Aon defined employee engagement as “the level of an employee’s psychological investment in their organization.” Through Aon’s extensive global research, they were able to demonstrate the power of employee engagement to drive business performance, suggesting that for individual organisations, a 5 percent increase in engagement results in 3 percent incremental revenue growth.

“Being recognized for employee engagement gives us great fulfillment and validates that we are in the right direction when it comes to dealing with our people. And this goes back to our customer-centric focus, because we know that the way we take care of our people is how they will take care of our customers, allowing them to inspire others to live healthier, longer and better lives," said Anna Villamor, chief human resource officer for Philam Life.

The Aon recognition comes on the heels of another award in human resources, with the Philam Group winning last June at HR Asia’s Best Companies to Work for in Asia in 2018.
