Security Bank Corporation was awarded by UK-based finance journal Retail Banker International at the 2022 RBI Asia Trailblazer Awards for having the Best Advance in Managing a Remote Workforce and Best CSR Initiative-Contribution to the Local Community.
“The 2022 edition of the awards received a record number of entries across the Asian continent representing the best-in-class consumer finance and retail banking companies. Among the key takeaways from the awards submissions in 2022 has been the quality of submissions RBI has received, resulting in the award-giving institution recognizing over 50 banks this year,” said the RBI.
The journal recognized Security Bank for its successful efforts to rapidly transition to a remote workforce setup due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It also feted the Bank and its Corporate Social Responsibility arm, Security Bank Foundation Inc. for helping local communities adapt and recover from Covid-19.
“We’re honored to be recognized by Retail Banker International for our efforts in ensuring the safety of our employees at the height of the Covid-19 lockdowns. This is testament to our passion for our people as we work towards becoming an employer of choice in the Philippines,” said Nerissa Berba, SVP and Human Capital Management head.
In 2020, at the height of the lockdowns, Security Bank immediately enabled employees to work remotely, equipping them with the tools needed to work productively, while keeping operations safe and secure. During this time, the Bank also partnered with various industry leaders such as LinkedIn Learning, Glint people success platform, and Mind You, for its learning, engagement, and wellness initiatives.
