Telecom launches iLeadGlobe, an integrated leadership and management
development initiative, that aims to engage and develop the company’s key
talents into future business leaders. This also answers the company’s pursuit
to customer centricity in a fast-paced evolution of digital technologies
through its talent management practices.
“The
industry now is more challenging and is changing at a much faster rate. We need
to go and try new things to continuously respond to our customer needs. This
means we need leaders who can think differently, drive innovative solutions and
more importantly, deliver results the Globe Way,” Globe President & CEO
Ernest Cu said.
Echoing Cu, Globe Vice President for Leadership and
Talent Management Tina Palmario-Sioson stressed that new business challenges
require new capabilities, and thus the need for better leaders. “A strong
talent strategy is anchored on the business strategy and therefore it is
critical that we have a firm grasp of the current as well as the future talent
requirements of the business. We need to understand where the business is
heading and identify the critical capabilities needed across the organization.” Sioson
made this emphasis in a recent human resource forum organized by the Lopez
group of companies.
, said
Sioson. Specifically, the company is providing
continuous learning and development for every job level and employees are given
vast opportunities for career enhancements through a more robust talent
rotation.
In
addition, the company provides numerous employee engagement touch-points. Its three
main engagement pillars of Fun at Work, The Globe Way Values and Holistic Wellness
provide the avenue to improve personal growth and well-being of very employee.
Some of the company’s sports, volunteerism and holiday programs are not only
limited to the employees but also friends and relatives to build a sense of
family and a culture of happiness at the workplace.
“We
strongly believe that our talent management practices further drive our Circle
of Happiness - that happy and engaged employees deliver wonderful customer
experience and strong business growth. This is why the company continues to
partner with employees in building a workplace that is dynamic, entrepreneurial,
collaborative and innovative,” Sioson said.
Components
of the company’s talent management initiatives include Executive Development,
Emerging Executive Program and the much sought after, Young Leaders Bootcamp,
an integrated leadership initiative that aims to engage and develop the
company’s budding talents and hidden gems into future business leaders.
In
addition, the telecommunications provider has partnered with the leading
business schools and opened programs for the employees interested to develop
their business competence. The company is also assessing and honing its employees
by providing them with more job based development opportunities in order
to future-proof their careers.
To enable this,
the company launched Careers@Globe which addresses the needs for professional
growth of the rest of employees in the organization. The principle is anchored
toward a joint responsibility between employee and superior with the employee
taking a more proactive stance in taking charge of his career. Employees are
given access to tools to help them assess their skills, capabilities, strengths
and development areas. These are used for better career discussion of the
employee with his superior, Sioson added.
