ACCORDING to Gallup's State of the Global Workforce 2023 Report, the percentage of employees thriving at work reached a record high worldwide, reflecting a positive trend similar to pre-pandemic economic growth levels.

In the Philippines, Unilab emerged as a notable company for employee welfare. However, few people know that for several decades now, it has quietly earned recognition for being an outstanding and caring employer.

Unilab, the country's leading pharmaceutical company, centers its business on caring for people's health, including its own.

Recognizing the importance of fostering a supportive work environment that promotes the culture of "husay at malasakit" from within, Unilab dedicates efforts to creating a culture that empowers employees to thrive and make meaningful contributions at work.

The Unilab Corporate Center (ULCC), reconstructed in 2015, is lauded as one of the nation's premier workplaces. Designed to be modern, functional and eco-friendly, it offers ample green spaces rare in urban settings.

Its focal point is the vast open space and garden at the heart of the compound, which serves as an area for major events. On quiet days, the area allows employees and guests to breathe freely and reconnect with the environment.

Employees are well taken care of, with access to a cafeteria with an in-house chef preparing delicious and healthy meals. With the company's subsidies, eating well is an affordable and accessible option. It provides its employees ample opportunities to prioritize their physical health while working at the headquarters.

Unilab has been given recognition as a Great Place to Work certified organization in its first year of eligibility, affirming its commitment to cultivating an exceptional work environment.
