The award was presented during the Philippines Leadership Award 2026 held on June 26 at Dusit Thani Manila. It highlights organizations that demonstrate excellence in developing people-centered HR initiatives and fostering workplaces where employees can thrive.
“We’re truly grateful to be recognized as one of the Top Organizations with Innovative HR Practices. More than anything, this feels like a reflection of our people and how we work together every day. At Odfjell Manila, we’ve always tried to keep things simple—create an environment where people feel respected, supported, and able to keep learning in their own way,” Human Resources Manager Julie Ann Ignacio said.
Through initiatives focused on employee engagement, learning and development, well-being, and an inclusive workplace culture, the company continues to strengthen the employee experience while supporting both individual and organizational success.
As part of the global Odfjell organization, OMPI remains committed to cultivating a work environment that encourages collaboration, continuous learning, and shared growth.
“Growth comes in different forms, whether it’s taking on new projects, working with different teams, or continuing to build skills over time. We also continue to create opportunities for employees to contribute beyond their roles and be part of initiatives that shape how we work,” she added.
As OMPI continues to strengthen its people practices, this recognition serves as an encouragement to keep building a workplace where employees can learn, grow, and contribute, in line with Odfjell's commitment to its people.
