The Ayala Group will continue to have up to 40 percent of its employees working from home, a top official said, as the new normal redefines the country’s oldest conglomerate.
Ayala has 56,500 direct hires, according to chief human resource officer John Philip Orbeta, who said that the new normal might mean that a huge number of its full-time employees would not report to office anymore.
“To be honest, we are looking at about 30 to 40 percent in our initial estimates who will continue to work from home,” he said as a panelist in a webinar hosted by the Management Association of the Philippines. Ayala has been preparing health protocols in bringing back its workforce under the assumption of an extended lockdown, which include daily health tracking of its employees, regardless if they were directly hired or subcontracted.
It remains to be seen if other companies, specifically micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, could follow the direction of Ayala, given that not everyone has the same resources as the conglomerate.
