Converge clinches triple win at HR Asia Awards

MANILA, Philippines —   Leading fiber broadband and technology provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. is strengthening its reputation as an employer of choice in the Philippines, earning three major recognitions at the 2026 HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia Awards for its commitment to employee engagement, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) and workplace sustainability.

“At Converge, our philosophy is simple: people first, relationships next,” Mylene Sardinia, Converge senior vice president and head of People and Culture, said.

 “As we transition from telco to techco, we focus our HR technology and innovations to make our employees’ daily work easier and to cultivate a genuinely happy, highly engaged workplace. Winning these awards proves that we are genuine in putting our aspirations into actions. People will continue to be our greatest advocate in maintaining an inclusive, sustainable, and tech-driven community,” Sardinia said.

Held on Oct. 6 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Pasay, the awards ceremony saw Converge earn distinctions in three categories: Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2026, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Sustainable Workplace.

Representation and empowerment are highly evident across the organization. To support its people-first agenda, Converge has championed equitable career progression pathways and capability-building programs.

Initiatives such as MentorSHE, the company’s dedicated women’s mentorship program, and SPARK, a specialized capability-building program for the sales team, have delivered massive value to employee development.

Furthermore, the company’s strategic training partnership with the University of the Philippines continues to ensure that employees are equipped with future-ready skills.

The audit session also gave Converge an opportunity to showcase the programs and initiatives it has developed to enrich, empower and support its employees.

Converge also highlighted its efforts to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace, including its focus on equitable gender representation and generational diversity. Its sustainability initiatives, meanwhile, include circular-economy efforts such as modem refurbishment, among other programs aimed at promoting more responsible resource use.

“Our goal is to have a workplace where people can grow and do their best work, where different perspectives are valued and everyone has a place and where we can create lasting impact for our people and our communities,” Converge president and co-founder Grace Uy said.
