Fujitsu’s Global Delivery Center in the Philippines (GDC) has recently been awarded with the Best Places to Work certification. The awarding ceremony took place at its head office in Taguig City last June 2, 2022.
Arlene Gregorio, Head of Philippines GDC and Aristeo “Theo” Cataluna, Head of Human Resources, Philippines GDC received the trophy and plaque on the company’s behalf.
“Amazing, amazing achievement for our organization. This afternoon is not really about Fujitsu, but it’s really about the people of Fujitsu. So Best Places to Work is not about the facilities, it’s about our culture; it’s about the way we take care of each other. And definitely a big part of that would be our HR team, our IT team, our support team, and of course, our delivery team – meaning each and every one of this membership.”
Ms. Arlene Gregorio, Head of Fujitsu GDC Philippines
She also added that the awarding ceremony is not a culmination event, but a continuous effort for the organization to be one of the best places to work for in the world.
“I am truly humbled by the result of this certification activity because this is based on the anonymous responses collected from our dear team members. As such, this award recognizes the significant contribution of everyone in the organization. In HR, together with the support teams and the senior leadership team, we constantly challenge ourselves on how to give better support to the employees.”
