This demonstrates the bank's commitment to gender equality and the empowerment of all employees.
To further encourage career advancement, BDO offers a range of skills enhancement programs that are particularly focused on female development. Notably, women account for 65 percent of participants in the management development program and 88 percent in the officer development program.
In a statement, Evelyn Salagubang, BDO senior vice president and head of human resources, underlined the importance of this inclusive approach. “When we have diverse voices at the table, we create policies that resonate with everyone. It’s about building an environment where every employee, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to grow and succeed,” she shared.
BDO’s efforts toward fostering equal opportunity ensure that women are not just part of the workforce but are empowered to lead and make significant contributions.
This inclusive culture is evident in the substantial presence of women in leadership roles, reinforcing the bank’s commitment to breaking down barriers that traditionally hinder women’s career progression.
The bank’s dedication to an inclusive and empowering workplace has not gone unnoticed. BDO was recently named the Philippines’ Best Employer Brand at the 2024 LinkedIn Talent Awards, a recognition that highlights its investment in creating a work environment where everyone is valued and encouraged to thrive professionally.
“This award affirms our dedication to fostering an environment where every employee feels empowered to contribute and grow,” said Salagubang. “It motivates us to continue prioritizing the growth and well-being of our talent.”
BDO remains steadfast in its mission to promote a workplace where employees can excel in their careers while maintaining a healthy balance in their personal lives, underscoring its role as a leader in inclusive workplace practices, the bank said in a statement.
