CitySavings ramps up disaster preparedness program for the public education sector

Tweet

City Savings Bank (CitySavings), the thrift arm subsidiary of the Aboitiz-led Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank)  leveled up its advocacy for disaster preparedness for the communities it serves through its Disaster Risk and Reduction (DRR) 101 Program. This program ensures beneficiaries of public schools in the Philippines have the proper equipment to help them prepare for possible disasters or calamities in the future. 

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS IN SCHOOLS: Together with the Aboitiz Foundation, City Savings Bank (CitySavings) has donated emergency and medical equipment to 16 School Division Offices (SDOs) and conducted 106 Weather and Tropical Cyclone 101 Training sessions nationwide since 2015. This is the Bank’s commitment to help create a better and safer learning environment to improve the country’s public education system. 

In the aftermath of disasters and calamities, one of the most vulnerable sectors in the country is the education sector. In 2022, the Department of Education (DepEd) declared they needed around PhP 18 million to repair, rehabilitate, and reconstruct schools damaged during disasters and calamities that hit the country.

Together with the Aboitiz Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of the Aboitiz Group, CitySavings has conducted 106 Weather and Tropical Cyclone 101 Training sessions nationwide since 2015. This impact program aims to strengthen educators’ capability on disaster preparedness through basic weather knowledge, empower them to prepare and protect their communities and create their own disaster preparedness programs to reduce the impact of weather-related disasters. 

Through its DRR 101 program completed this 2023, CitySavings has donated emergency and medical equipment to 16 School Division Offices (SDOs) addressing not just the issue of disaster, but also the SDOs’ call for help in alleviating the impact of the global pandemic. Donating to disaster preparedness means investing in systems that will allow the schools to deploy staff and resources quickly and effectively once a disaster strikes. 

DRR 101 contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. DRR is an integral part of social and economic development. The program is also part of CitySavings’ commitment to creating a better and safer learning environment to improve the country’s public education system.

Teleperformance (TP), a multi-awarded and leading digital business services company, has been named as one of the Best Workplaces in Asia™ in 2023 by the Great Place to Work®(GPTW) institute.

The company ranked 11th among 30 multinational enterprises spanning various industries. Teleperformance also stood as the second-best performer in the professional services category and earned a place among the “elite group of progressive employers in Asia” in the GPTW®-curated list.

The GPTW® researchers assessed Teleperformance by surveying over 90,000 employees across Asia. These employees were asked to evaluate key factors that make a company a great workplace for all, including workplace safety, gender fairness, diversity, and inclusivity.

The results showed that 91% of employees believe Teleperformance is a physically safe place to work. In addition, 87% of employees agreed that Teleperformance fosters a gender-fair environment, while 86% recognized the organization’s efforts to ensure inclusivity within the workplace.

Furthermore, Teleperformance in the Philippines has played a significant role in its inclusion in the Best Workplaces in Asia List.

In 2018, Teleperformance became the first company and member of the IT-BPM sector in the Philippines to be certified Great Place to Work®. The award-giving body revealed that TP has gained above-minimum scores from different gender and identity groups across its departments.

“Receiving recognition as one of Asia's Best Workplaces in 2023 underscores our commitment to establishing an exceptional workplace. In every TP site across the globe, our teammates are diligently working to ensure that every Teleperformance employee has the opportunity to thrive and make meaningful contributions within a safe and inclusive environment," shared Jeffrey Johnson, Chief People Officer and Chief of Staff at Teleperformance in the Philippines.

Teleperformance has remained steadfast in upholding its values through initiatives, such as, but not limited to, partnerships with the Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).

These collaborations have facilitated projects focused on HIV awareness, vaccinations, and the distribution of wellness kits to employees. By consistently upholding integrity in the workplace, Teleperformance has also retained its position among Cebu’s top 10 IT-BPM employers and has been recognized in the inaugural IT-BPM list of the Philippines’ Best Workplaces for 2023.
