MANILA, Philippines - Sun Life Financial Philippines has been bestowed the prestigious Employer of the Year (EOY) Award for its exemplary leadership and people-management practices.
The EOY Award is handed out annually by the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) to the company that excels in the areas of leadership, strategic human resources focus, continuous improvement programs, business results, and social responsibility.
The PMAP panel, which is composed of renowned HR practitioners, business executives, and civil servants, conducts a rigid judging process which includes on-site visits, interviews, and deliberations. Out of the many companies that submit nominations, only one winner is chosen every year.
Sun Life is the first insurance company to be honored with the EOY Award since its inception 38 years ago.
“We’re truly proud to have been selected as this year’s Employer of the Year. At Sun Life, we strive to cultivate a culture of collaboration between the management and the employees because we believe this is the key to fulfilling our goals not just as a business, but also as a partner in nation building,” said Sun Life president and CEO Riza Mantaring.
