Converge Wins Three HR Asia Awards for Workplace Culture, Inclusion and Sustainability

Converge ICT Solutions Inc. received three recognitions at the 2026 HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia Awards, highlighting its employee engagement, inclusion and workplace sustainability initiatives.

The company earned distinctions for Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2026, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and Sustainable Workplace during the October 6 ceremony at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Pasay City.

According to Converge, the assessment included an organization-wide employee survey and an audit session examining its workplace programs and employee experience.

Employee feedback forms part of the assessment

Converge said it received high marks under HR Asia’s Total Engagement Assessment Model, particularly in equal opportunity, cultural ethics and internal initiatives.

The audit also allowed the company to present programs supporting employee development, representation and responsible resource use.

“At Converge, our philosophy is simple: people first, relationships next,” said Mylene Sardinia, Senior Vice President and Head of People and Culture.

“As we transition from Telco to Techco, we focus our HR technology and innovations to make our employees’ daily work easier and to cultivate a genuinely happy, highly engaged workplace.”

The company linked its workplace initiatives to that transition, with training and technology intended to help employees adapt to changing roles and business needs.

Mentorship and skills development

Among the programs presented during the assessment was MentorSHE, Converge’s dedicated women’s mentorship initiative.

The company also highlighted SPARK, a capability-building program designed for its sales teams, alongside its training partnership with the University of the Philippines.

These initiatives form part of Converge’s efforts to support career progression and develop employees’ skills.

On representation, the company reported that women account for 41.7% of its high-level executives. It also cited generational diversity as part of its broader inclusion agenda.

Modem refurbishment supports resource reuse

Converge’s sustainability presentation included circular-economy initiatives such as modem refurbishment.

The company reported an 89% reuse rate for recovered materials in its modem circularity efforts, compared with 54% in 2023. It presented the improvement as part of its work toward more responsible resource use.

The sustainability recognition adds another dimension to its workplace programs, connecting employee initiatives with how the business manages equipment and materials.

“Our goal is to have a workplace where people can grow and do their best work, where different perspectives are valued and everyone has a place, and where we can create lasting impact for our people and our communities,” said Converge President and Co-Founder Grace Y. Uy.

The HR Asia awards program recognizes organizations for their human resources practices, employee engagement and workplace culture. For Converge, the three distinctions bring together its efforts in employee development, inclusion and sustainability as it continues expanding its technology capabilities.
