MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Philam Life, the country’s premier life insurance company, continues to reinforce its customer-centric philosophy through an Ethical Leadership Workshop held in June this year.
It was attended by executives and management team members of Philam Life and its subsidiaries, BPI-Philam Life Assurance Company (BPLAC), its bancassurance arm, Philam Asset Management, Inc. (PAMI), Philam Call Center, and Philam Foundation, as well as its Agency Sales Executives and Leaders.
The workshop focused on the changes and trends in business ethics in the global context, covering emerging areas of research on behavior economics and how this equips business with new tools to manage the ethical dimension, and skills in creating a ‘speak up’ culture. Risk management and measurement, and integrity were also discussed.
The leadership training was borne out of Philam Life’s desire to serve customers better, putting them at the center of the company’s business. Philam Life Chief Executive Officer Aibee Cantos believes that in line with their customer-centric philosophy, ethics should be an integral part of Philam Life’s organizational culture.
“We can only achieve customer-centricity when our employees act ethically, and consistently does the right thing every single day. Behavior must align with the principles and values we espouse as an organization,” said Cantos.
With a strong ethical culture, Philam Life is building a committed and engaged workforce, to achieve lower turnover and higher productivity, and most importantly, increase and sustain customer confidence for the company.
The workshop was conducted by Brian Moran the Principal from Managing Values Pty Ltd, an Australian consultancy firm that specializes in training programs on business ethics and workplace values. He has over 30 years of experience developing and co-facilitating ethical leadership programs across Asia-Pacific, and served as the key designer of the ethics resources training programs developed for of the South Australian and Victorian public services.
