JG Summit Holdings Inc. is expanding its partnership with Darwinbox, an AI-powered, mobile-first human capital management (HCM) platform to accelerate its digital transformation and create a more unified and future-ready workforce.
The move, which will further streamline the conglomerate’s HR data, transactions and systems, comes as the company seeks to unlock workforce potential and sustain competitiveness in a fast-changing business environment.
The partnership will provide a unified platform across the conglomerate, offering centralized talent visibility while empowering the organization to attract, develop and retain top talent.
JG Summit president and chief executive Lance Gokongwei said the expanded partnership empowers the company to harness AI-driven automation and insights, enabling greater efficiency and effectiveness as they accelerate business objectives and transform the way they support and grow talent.
“At JG Summit, we recognize that our people are at the heart of everything we do,” Gokongwei said.
“Their contributions are vital to our continued success, and we are committed to equipping them with the best tools to help them thrive,” he said.
JG Summit chief human resources officer Gulliver Go said the partnership would enhance employee experience and improve organizational decision-making.
“This also supports our talent agenda by empowering our HR teams with AI-powered insights that provide customized approaches to develop and retain talent,” Go said.
“It will significantly reduce the administrative workload of our HR teams through automation and smart workflows,” he said.
Darwinbox was recognized as a Challenger in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud HCM Suites for enterprises.
Darwinbox co-founder Rohit Chennamaneni noted that JG Summit has been one of the company’s first champions in the Philippines and a cornerstone of its expansion in the market.
“While our product is built for the world, we’ve made significant investments to localize it for the Philippines — solving for unique policies and processes here,” Chennamaneni said.
Gokongwei said that for JG Summit, the benefits go beyond digitization. “We are glad to step into the next chapter of our journey with Darwinbox and excited to harness AI-powered capabilities to elevate people management to new heights,” he said.
“This transformation will help us support our workforce better, empower leaders with sharper decisions, and prepare our organization for the future,” said Gokongwei.
