  • Culture
  • HR Practices

In a fast-moving and increasingly complex global economy, our success depends on how faithfully we adhere to our core principles: delivering exceptional client service; acting with integrity and responsibility; and supporting the growth of our employees.

For companies that hope to secure the most in-demand talent, it’s not enough to offer basic perks. A company needs to establish its branding to both its customers and employees.

Such organizations acquire a Best Places to Work certification in order to attract the most qualified candidates. This certification can be achieved in just over a month through an HR assessment, employee survey, and topped off with an analysis and validation process.

Brian Hood, Philippine Head of Human Resources for JPMorgan Chase Philippine Global Service Center (GSC)—which was recently named a Best Place to Work discusses how JPMorgan brings people together to create a strong corporate culture. 

The company awarding winning culture

At JPMorgan Chase, we adhere to a set of principles which we consider fundamental to our long-term business success—from providing exceptional client service, operating at the highest standards of excellence, to upholding the values of integrity, fairness and responsibility in everything we do. We invest in our own people and provide them with the necessary tools, resources, and work environment to grow personally and professionally. 

Furthermore, we believe in a culture of respect, equity and inclusion. Across our global operations, we remain focused on cultivating a diverse and inclusive work environment for our employees and our business. From constantly reassessing our recruiting and training practices, to engaging our employees to get involved in initiatives that would support and create awareness for underserved and under-represented communities.

We are devoted to creating a great team and winning culture while building and maintaining our reputation as the best and most respected financial services company in the world -- one that our employees, stakeholders and communities can be proud of.

  • Culture

Zoetis is a global animal health company dedicated to supporting its customers and their businesses in ever better ways. Building on 60 years of experience, we deliver quality medicines and vaccines, support and education. We are working every day to better understand and address the real-world challenges faced by those who raise and care for animals in ways they find truly relevant.

How would you describe your company to someone outside of your industry ?

Zoetis is the world’s leading animal health company that is driven by a singular purpose – to nurture our world and humankind by advancing care for animals. As proud colleagues of Zoetis, we try to embody this purpose in the work that we do everyday as we engage our customers in the Companion Animal business as well as the Livestock industry in various people and animal welfare initiatives. Zoetis is the global market leader because of its outstanding portfolio of products and services that allows our customers  to predict, prevent, detect, and treat animal diseases in a continuum of care that other companies are not able to provide as comprehensively as Zoetis does.

How did you build a positive workplace culture ?

It starts with the belief that the company can only be as good as its people. It is therefore imperative to foster a workplace climate where people actually look forward to going to work every day, where they are motivated to always give their best for their customers and colleagues, and where they know that their management team is working for their success, growth, and well-being.

Beyond work, the company also organizes activities that appeal to colleagues’ social responsibility interests. We have adopted the Binayoyo community in Rizal province, where colleagues contributed to setting up a clean water system and have engaged those families in livelihood programs. As a company, we also believe in having fun together. Thus our regular activities such as TGIF virtual sessions, friendly competitions (e.g. Virtual Race, Biggest Lozer), and simply finding time to bond whenever possible are some examples of our colleague well-being priorities.

I must acknowledge that maintaining a positive work climate often becomes challenging amidst serious business challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the African Swine Fever outbreak. In these situations, the leadership team takes the active role of directly engaging colleagues in the company’s unwavering commitment to supporting them through these difficult periods.

This recognition is particularly important and gratifying to all of us in Zoetis, given the extraordinary environmental and business challenges we are facing. The feedback received helps us celebrate the areas that we are excelling in while also allowing us to focus on our key areas for improvement. We will continue to invest in our people, sustaining our drive to build a high-performing team that embodies Zoetis’ Core Beliefs while thriving in a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusivity

From a leadership perspective, what lessons did you learn from this difficult time ?

In times of extreme challenges, people and their values will be tested. One specific example for us was our ability to balance colleague safety and well-being versus the need to remain productive and deliver on our business obligations. But given Zoetis’ commitment to people, there was never a question on our primary responsibility of keeping safe our colleagues, their families, and ultimately our customers. We ensured everyone was safe, felt safe, and felt supported throughout the pandemic.Upon learning of the huge cost of hospitalization due to COVID-19, we immediately doubled the hospitalization benefit of all colleagues for their peace-of-mind. During the lockdowns, we kept everyone engaged through regular learning and fun programs. And when allowed, we provided colleagues with all the tools and guidance necessary to keep them safe when meeting customers outside. Everyone responded by doing their best to deliver on the company’s objectives.
