One of the Philippines’ largest and more diversified conglomerates, JG Summit Holdings, Inc. announced its move to digitalize HR in partnership with new-age HR tech platform provider Darwinbox. In a bid to reaffirm the company's commitment towards providing the best experience to its employees, JG Summit bared its plan to completely digitalize its HR processes to empower their employees and the organization to always be future-ready.
Post the pandemic, it became clear that digital is a critical lever for every organization to lead and compete. With HR transformation now on the front burner and HR itself turning into a major center for innovation, JG Summit was on the lookout for the best tech partner to realize their vision. On exploring the market and closely evaluating several global solutions, JG Summit chose Darwinbox for its new-age technology, supreme agility and expertise in solving for Asian Enterprises.
“We believe that going digital is the way forward and we are happy to have partnered with new-age and innovative HR solution provider Darwinbox, the human capital management solutions provider of choice of Asian conglomerates and multinational corporations in the region for their digital transformation initiatives. Their mobile-first and futuristic platform will play a critical role in bringing the digital agility and experience we intend to offer our employees,” said Lance Y. Gokongwei, JG Summit President and CEO.
As JG Summit pursues its ambition to solidify its position among the largest conglomerates in the Philippines, Mr. Gokongwei believes that digitalization will be a key enabler to the company's success in delivering its Purpose as a business – that of having an unrelenting commitment to provide its customers with better choices, creating shared success with its various stakeholders. The conglomerates’ digitalization strategy started two years ago, but the pandemic turbocharged this effort.
"We fully recognize that no organization can exist without its people. Our people are central to all the processes in our organization and we can only succeed through their collective and individual contributions. With Darwinbox we will be able to deliver and fulfill this to help us achieve our HR goals faster and smarter," Gokongwei said.
