FedEx Philippines has emerged as the overall winner at the prestigious HR Excellence Awards 2024, securing a total of seven accolades for its exemplary human resources strategies. The global logistics giant clinched four Gold awards in the categories of Excellence in Change Management, HR Innovation, HR Technology, and Hybrid Work. Additionally, the company earned Silver in both Excellence in Communication Strategy and Digital Transformation and Bronze for Best HR Team in a Multinational Company.
The awards, organized by Human Resources Online, Asia’s leading HR platform, celebrate organizations across the region that demonstrate outstanding HR practices and innovation. The event is renowned for its rigorous peer-reviewed process, where a jury of esteemed HR experts and thought leaders evaluate submissions based on their impact on employee engagement, well-being, and organizational growth.
FedEx stood out among numerous contenders for its comprehensive approach to employee engagement and development. The company has implemented forward-thinking HR policies that foster an inclusive, dynamic, and supportive work environment. These efforts have set a benchmark for HR excellence, particularly in the areas of change management and hybrid work models, which have become crucial in the post-pandemic landscape.
“Winning these awards is a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace, driven by its People-Service-Profit (P-S-P) philosophy. This recognition is especially meaningful as we celebrate our 40th anniversary of operations in the Philippines. At FedEx, we believe in empowering our employees and providing them with the tools they need to succeed. It also reaffirms our commitment to creating an environment where our people can spread their wings and thrive,” according to Maribeth Espinosa, Managing Director, FedEx Philippines.
FedEx Philippines has been a pioneer in promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and opportunity (DEI&O) in its workplace. The company’s initiatives, such as the Empowering Women Scholarship Program (EWSP) in collaboration with the Zonta Club of Makati and Environs, offer scholarships to women pursuing STEM fields at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, exemplifying its commitment to empowering diverse voices.
The company has made significant strides in creating an accessible work environment for employees with disabilities. The company has implemented physical modifications such as ramp access, handrails, and non-slip flooring in its facilities. These efforts have not only earned FedEx recognition in previous HR Excellence Awards but also accolades from the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA).
As FedEx Philippines celebrates its 40th anniversary, these recognitions underscore the company’s dedication to its employees’ growth and well-being. Moving forward, FedEx plans to further enhance its HR programs with a focus on technology-driven solutions aimed at enriching the employee experience and maintaining its leadership in HR innovation.
