Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has scored a historic triple victory at the 2026 HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia Awards, reinforcing its standing as one of the Philippines’ employers of choice through its commitment to employee engagement, workplace inclusivity, and sustainability.
The leading fiber broadband and technology provider received three prestigious distinctions — Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2026, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), and Sustainable Workplace — during the awards ceremony held October 6 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Pasay City.
For Converge, the triple recognition reflects a workplace culture built around empowering people, nurturing talent, and creating meaningful opportunities for growth.
“At Converge, our philosophy is simple: people first, relationships next,” said Mylene S. 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. Winning these awards proves that we are genuine in putting our aspirations into actions,” Sardinia added.
She emphasized that employees remain the company’s strongest advocates in building an inclusive, sustainable, and technology-driven organization.
Empowering People, Building Careers
Converge earned high marks in HR Asia’s Total Engagement Assessment Model, particularly in equal opportunity, cultural ethics, and employee engagement initiatives.
The assessment combined an organization-wide employee survey with an audit of the company’s human resource practices and workplace programs.
Among its standout initiatives is MentorSHE, a mentorship program empowering women to advance professionally, alongside SPARK, a specialized capability-building program designed to strengthen the company’s sales teams.
A strategic training partnership with the University of the Philippines further supports employee development by equipping its workforce with future-ready skills.
These programs complement Converge’s efforts to promote equitable career advancement, gender representation, and generational diversity across the organization.
Championing Inclusion and Sustainability
Beyond employee development, Converge continues to advance diversity and environmental responsibility through measurable workplace initiatives.
Women account for 41.7 percent of the company’s high-level executives, reflecting its commitment to greater gender equity in leadership.
On sustainability, Converge has strengthened its circular-economy practices, particularly through modem refurbishment and material recovery.
The company achieved an 89 percent reuse rate for recovered modem materials, a significant improvement from 54 percent in 2023, demonstrating progress in responsible resource management and waste reduction.
A Workplace Where Everyone Belongs
Converge President and Co-Founder Grace Y. Uy said the recognition affirms the company’s commitment to creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
“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,” Uy said.
The HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia Awards recognizes organizations distinguished by outstanding human resource practices, strong employee engagement, and positive workplace cultures.
With its historic three-award sweep, Converge continues to demonstrate that technological innovation and business growth go hand in hand with investing in people, embracing diversity, and building a more sustainable future.
