Home Credit, a Prague-based company that offers in-store financing of gadgets, appliances and other goods, has been recognized by Aon Hewitt, the global talent, retirement and health solutions business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), as a 2016 Aon Best Employer in the Philippines and in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Aon Best Employers program measures and recognizes employer excellence worldwide, comparing organizations to identify those that strive to create a competitive advantage through their people and become employers of choice.

Under the program, Home Credit Philippines (HCPH) was assessed on several measures, including employee engagement, leadership index, performance culture index, and employer brand index. HCPH scored high marks across all categories based on employee surveys, along with other Home Credit offices throughout APAC.

“When we did our rebrand earlier this year, we said that we are transitioning from a product-focused company into a people-focused company. And by people, we don’t just mean our customers; just as important, we put even greater focus on our own people, underscoring the important role that employee engagement plays in achieving our goals,” remarked Annica Witschard, CEO of HCPH.

“This award illustrates Home Credit’s strong commitment to growing together with its workforce, and we are thankful to Aon for this recognition,” she added.

“The Aon Best Employers program recognizes the outstanding achievements of organizations that demonstrate excellence in the workplace and consistently deliver strong, sustainable business results,” said Neil Crawford, partner, the Aon Best Employers Program leader, Aon Hewitt. “These exceptional organizations stand above the rest because they empower results through high employee engagement, a compelling employer brand, effective leadership and a high performance culture. We congratulate Home Credit Philippines on being recognized with this distinct honor.”
