Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Haleon Philippines prides itself as a place where everyone can be their best, authentic selves - we do this by fostering an open, inclusive, and respectful environment - one that celebrates diversity, and encourages people to bring in unique perspectives to business. We are committed to creating spaces that are diverse and equitable for everyone, where individuals and teams can thrive and work together towards shared goals, and duly recognized for the achievement of these goals.

In support of an open and diverse workplace, we have several programs that provide an avenue for our team members to share their voice and actively participate in shaping our culture, including but not limited to Employee Resource Groups (ERG) – a community of people with shared interests; People Council – cross-functional work groups that drive projects on Culture, Digital Transformation, Sustainability & Health Inclusivity, just to name a few; and many more programs and platforms where people can build, share, and shape Haleon’s winning culture.

Learning @ Haleon

In Haleon, we believe in continuous learning, and so we provide our employees with several opportunities and platforms that help our team members to develop and grow. Platforms such as our Keep Growing Campus, an online learning platform, which enables our employees to learn anytime and anywhere; and other leadership / technical development platforms which can be a mix of both offline (face to face) and online channels and platforms.

Engagement @ Haleon

High employee engagement is fundamental behind the growth and success of Haleon Philippines. In fact, our engagement scores are one of the higher performing scores in the region, and such positive results have been consistently seen as our scores go up year on year. These strong engagement scores are a testament to our caring and collaborative culture.

We instill this culture by embedding corporate citizenship through our People Council, which drives talent development and culture building initiatives across the organization. The People Council leads projects and initiatives related to process simplification, digital transformation & upskilling, as well as culture building and promotion. The People Council agenda, centers on marrying employee engagement activities with learning, development, process improvement and forwarding positive social impact. Specific projects include Corporate Social Responsibility programs in partnership with Smile Train, where we bring smiles back to the faces of children with clefts; Team building activities to develop better ways of working, and Sustainability Projects in partnership with the Plastic Flamingo, where we collect/recover and recycle plastic wastes, just to name a few.

Health & Well-being @Haleon

Health and well-being are fundamental aspects in Haleon as a healthcare company, hence it is critical to have policies that support these aspects. At Haleon, we provide 6-month parental leave for new parents and legal guardians as we want to ensure that everyone is afforded sufficient support to adjust every time they have important family milestones such as giving birth (natural means or surrogacy) and adoption. In addition, Haleon also provides Caregiver Leave (4 weeks of paid leave) for our team members who are tending to their immediate family member(s) who have serious health conditions.

True to our purpose, we also look into opportunities to give back to our communities so we also provide One-day paid volunteer leave which team members can use to support causes that they care about – be it a charitable institution, or any non-profit organization within their local communities.

We also provide a series of well-being programs, such as Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and courses related to mindfulness which are open for all our employees to help them maintain and manage their well-being at work, and in life.

Through performance by choice working arrangements, our team members also have the flexibility to work from home, work on-site, or even work anywhere.

Once a month, we also have “No Meeting Days” to give our team members time to focus to do what matters most, and use the time for other self-development activities, such as e-learning.
