There is also a strong sense of belonging and community in the organization.

“At UnionBank, we continuously empower our employees by giving them the access to trainings, workplace benefits, perks and a healthy organizational culture. We see to it that every UnionBanker knows that what they do contributes to the growth of the company,” said Michelle Rubio, UnionBank  Human Resources Director .

The bank puts a premium in the holistic development of its employees. With programs like My Performance, an integrated feedback and coaching program and UnionBank University that runs ten courses on different fields, the bank ensures that its employees are more than competent to achieve their career goals.

UnionBank also addresses the welfare of its employees. Aside from social activities within the office, it fosters a sense of community within the organization through the UCare program and extends it to local communities all over the country through the GoBeyond Communities program where UnionBankers plan, propose and implement corporate responsibility projects related to environment, education, livelihood and inclusion.
