Globe Telecom’s success as the leading mobile brand in the country is driven in part by the culture of diversity it promotes to further advance its innovation bid aimed at developing products and services most relevant to its customers as they shift to a digital lifestyle. 

“By promoting a culture of diversity, Globe is able to nurture a work environment where disruptive, innovative and customer-centric ideas will prosper. Such culture leads to delivery of fresh ideas and experiences which in turn bring about a more effective development of products and services most suitable for our customers’ evolving digital lifestyle,” Globe Chief Human Resource Officer Renato Jiao said. 

He emphasized that the company welcomes every employee regardless of gender, age, religion or ethnicity. Currently, Globe employs more than 6,000 workers from staff to senior management levels. Employee composition in terms of gender is close to equal as 53% are male while the remaining 47% are female.  Of the total number, 51% belong to Generation X and about 46% are Millennials while the remaining 3% are Baby Boomers. Also, seven of 18 high-ranking executives comprising the company’s Senior Leadership Team are females, showing women are afforded the same opportunity to handle important and critical positions based on their qualifications. 

As part of efforts to promote a culture of diversity, Globe recently undertook another round of roadshow in major business schools in the US, such as in Wharton- University of Pennsylvania, Harvard School of Business, New York University, Yale, Columbia University, Stanford University and UC Berkeley, to potentially attract MBA graduating students into the company. This initiative hoped to establish a strong academe-industry linkage and hopefully attract and build a pipeline of MBA talents from top US business schools. 

Recently, Globe also partnered with Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) Asia Conference and De La Salle University (DLSU) in gathering international students and young professionals throughout Asia for business and youth leaders to collaborate and exchange best practices. HPAIR is one of largest business and youth leadership gatherings. HPAIR is a student-run organization of the Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Since 1991, HPAIR has continuously gathered a growing pool of international students from top universities, renowned academics, business professionals, and political leaders to engage in the organization’s rigorous educational events.
