The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has recently adopted digital-first HR with its partnership with Darwinbox.
With Darwinbox’s technological platform, BPI employees now have access to a one-stop shop for all their HR needs, including time and attendance, performance management, issue resolution through Helpdesk, and employee engagement via vibe.
The digital HR transformation’s first phase went live as scheduled, and in less than a year, the project team deployed modules from hiring to retirement that empower, engage, and enable Unibankers to make special moments in less than a year.
By partnering with Darwinbox, BPI is taking a big step forward in its efforts to modernize HR procedures and give its committed employees a better work environment.
Maria Virginia “Gina” Eala, BPI Chief Human Resources Officer, said, “We continue to reinforce our value of being customer obsessed to give the best solutions not only to our customers but also to our people. Our partnership with Darwinbox marks a significant milestone in our ongoing journey to enhance the employee experience at BPI. With RHEA, we hope to empower our employees to achieve and do more as we continue to pursue our vision to build a better Philippines—one family, one community at a time.”
“Having RHEA available through mobile phones ensures the platforms’ accessibility and user-friendliness for our entire workforce while upholding the highest level of security and flexibility,” said Eala. “Our most valuable assets are our employees, which is why we prioritize their holistic well-being to boost their productivity in the workplace,” she continued.
Jayant Paleti, Darwinbox co-founder, also shared, “BPI is a pillar of the Philippines’ banking industry, setting standards for over a century with its innovative mindset, a trait we wholeheartedly share. We are proud to be part of the bank’s digitalization journey. Together, we are transforming the employee experience of more than 18,000 people across the nation. It is a massive undertaking, and we are happy to be the bank’s trusted HRMS partner.”
Sasank Raavi, Darwinbox Country Manager-Philippines, further added, “It takes crystal clear vision from the leadership to take on a project of this magnitude, and it’s been nothing short of a joy working with the BPI team on this. Transforming HR at an organization with such scale and legacy was a very rewarding challenge. We are happy to be part of BPI’s mission to build a better Philippines.”
