Eastern Communications' employee-centric culture earns recognition


Eastern Communications announces its 2024 Great Place To Work Certification, a prestigious accolade based on employee feedback. An impressive 92% of Eastern's employees felt welcomed upon joining the company.


Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, bases this certification on real-time employee feedback about their company culture and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation. Earning this recognition establishes Eastern Communications as a leading workplace in the Philippines.


"Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work.


She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. "By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Eastern Communications stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees."


"At Eastern, we build a transformational community that cultivates our employees' growth while celebrating each employee's unique talents and skills. Our culture thrives on the strong connections between our team members, and earning the Great Place To Work Certification™ affirms all our combined efforts. This recognition belongs to our incredible Ka-Eastern family—whose dedication, passion, and relentless hard work truly make us a great place to work," said AC Cometa, Eastern Communications' Human Resources head.


Eastern Communications, a pioneering Philippine telecommunications company, bridges high-tech with high-touch, emphasizing human connections. This 145-year-old telco champions a people-centric approach, deeply valuing its employees, known as "Ka-Eastern."

The company's Heart of Service value encourages employees to go beyond their tasks and foster meaningful interactions with customers and stakeholders.


Eastern's dedicated Learning & Engagement team and an internal core committee organize various activities that generate camaraderie, support a healthy lifestyle, and increase employee satisfaction. These activities, such as fun runs, online games, community engagements, and celebrations, are conducted both virtually and in person. Through its Longevity Awards, the company recognizes employees who have dedicated many years of service to Eastern.


Eastern Communications invests in the growth of its people through regular skills training sessions. The company boosts productivity, empowers its team, and ensures everyone feels valued and appreciated by providing valuable learning tools and opportunities to enhance their skill sets.

Empowering its people also earned Eastern Communications recognition at the 2024 Asia Pacific Stevie Awards, where the company won two Bronze Stevies for thought leadership and infrastructure initiatives.
