Talent Attraction, Communications, and Engagement
AboitizPower’s Talent Attraction, Communications, and Engagement play a crucial role in advancing our purpose of transforming energy for a better world. With an integrated scope covering employer branding, talent acquisition, onboarding, internal communications, and engagement, we are uniquely positioned to deliver a holistic talent experience that supports both our people and our business outcomes.
We proactively anticipate and support talent needs—both current and future—to effectively meet demand and ensure alignment with AboitizPower’s long-term strategic goals. This enables us to strengthen our human capital foundation and contribute meaningfully to fulfilling our purpose.
A foundational element of this journey is anchoring our talent experience in a strong and authentic Employee Value Proposition. With our promise to Power Your Future, we engage talent through a seamless path from awareness to long-term advocacy. We captivate interest, inspire connection, and guide candidates through application, selection, and onboarding. This approach ensures that every interaction remains a people-first experience, deeply grounded in our purpose and culture.

Our Talent Integration program enables leaders and teams to immerse new team members in our purpose, values, and business, setting the foundation for long-term success. Through the program, we ensure our team members are equipped with the right resources, fostering an environment that helps them reach their full potential. We also offer tailored onboarding for international hires to support their seamless integration into the organization, the country, and the local culture.
Internally, we foster transparent, proactive communication and meaningful engagement by placing our people and an empowering culture at the heart of every initiative. This ensures team members feel valued, heard, and connected to our shared purpose. Beyond communications, we implement programs that build a dynamic and inclusive workplace—integrating recognition that matters, wellness, DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging), and engagement programs that reinforce motivation, amplify engagement, and support productivity, collaboration, and retention.
We also prioritize our employees as an integral part of our triple-bottom-line approach. We are committed to implementing fair and beneficial business practices that ensure our team members feel valued and supported. We measure the degree to which our employees feel valued in our company through the Gallup Employee Engagement Survey.
In 2025, all of our employees participated in the Gallup Survey, which revealed a mean employee engagement score of 4.21 (53% employee engagement). These surveys enable us to continually assess and improve our strategies to create a fulfilling work environment for all our valued team members. It included items related to overall satisfaction, internal purpose and motivation, employee well-being, happiness, and stress level.

Working Hours
AboitizPower ensures strict compliance with Philippine labor laws on working hours, salary, and compensation. Team members are encouraged to accomplish their work assignments within their regular working hours. However, when necessary due to the nature of the job, employees may be required to work overtime. In such cases, the total number of working hours—regular hours plus overtime—must not exceed 16 hours per day.
To ensure this is managed responsibly, AboitizPower implements a digital time and attendance management system, moving beyond traditional biometrics toward a trust-based, digitally-governed approach. Through this system, team members can directly file overtime and leave requests, which are then routed through automated approval workflows.
Complementing these measures, we also offer flexible work arrangements, allowing team members to choose telecommuting, alternate work locations, or schedules that best suit their roles and responsibilities. These options enhance engagement, performance, productivity, and retention, ultimately contributing to positive business outcomes.
Total Rewards: Compensation and Benefits
AboitizPower provides a competitive Total Rewards package that aligns with the organization’s goals, culture, and values, aiming to attract, motivate, and retain top talent.
Compensation is structured to ensure fairness, internal equity, and compliance with labor laws and regulations. Packages are market-aligned and designed to recognize individual contribution, value, and impact. This approach ensures clear differentiation based on performance while supporting business objectives and fostering a high-performance culture. Our compensation standards go beyond what the law requires, ensuring that every team member receives pay and benefits that reflect the value they bring.
As part of our evolving Total Rewards strategy, we conduct regular compensation reviews to ensure alignment with market benchmarks, internal equity, and individual performance. These reviews include an assessment of pay equity across the organization, with findings informing adjustments where material gaps are identified. This strategic approach supports a balanced mix of fixed and variable pay, ensuring we recognize contributions, drive business outcomes, and remain competitive in a dynamic talent landscape.
AboitizPower offers a comprehensive suite of core and competitive benefits to support the safety, well-being, and everyday needs of its team members. From healthcare coverage and paid leave (including parental leave) to breastfeeding facilities across our workplaces, along with financial and emergency assistance, the company ensures these essentials are in place so employees can focus on doing their best work.
AboitizPower invests in the whole person. Team members have access to gym memberships, fitness equipment, health sessions, and allowances for prescription medications and vaccines. Mental health and counseling support is also available, ensuring that care extends beyond the physical. Team engagement is further supported through organized events, such as sportsfests, and through sponsored participation in fun runs and similar wellness activities.
When life gets difficult, the company extends practical support through calamity leave, calamity assistance, loans, and medical cash advances.
Recognizing that needs and priorities shift across life stages, the company offers the AboitizPower Flexible Benefits program. This allows team members to personalize their benefits package to what matters most to them. Employees may convert unused benefits to options such as additional vacation leave, internet allowance, enhanced healthcare coverage, or wellness support.
Incentive and recognition programs are also in place to reward the achievement of individual, team, and organizational goals and to reinforce behaviors that reflect AboitizPower’s values.
Talent Development
At AboitizPower, succession management is a forward-looking process that enables sustainable growth by ensuring leadership readiness for the future. We take pride in honing our team members to reach their highest potential. We offer a range of employee development programs to support ongoing learning and career advancement. We also encourage internal mobility across our business units, and in 2025, 14.59% of our job vacancies were filled internally by our team members. Rather than focusing solely on replacement planning, we anticipate how the business, critical roles, and leadership capabilities will evolve and prepare our talent accordingly.
Integrated with Strategic Workforce Planning, our succession approach aligns talent development with organizational priorities and future growth plans. Senior leaders actively drive the process through annual talent reviews, ensuring robust discussions on leadership potential, readiness, and development.
We continuously strengthen our succession practices through performance metrics and benchmarking against global standards. Our focus on intentional talent mobility further accelerates leadership development, with 61.20% of key talents experiencing vertical moves and 9.80% taking on horizontal opportunities in 2025.
Succession readiness is reviewed annually and remains moderately strong at the executive level, providing confidence in our ability to sustain leadership continuity and organizational success.
When it is time for a team member to leave the company, we ensure their departure is handled through a transparent, lawful, and humane offboarding process. We strictly observe all labor codes, managing every exit with clear communication and deep professional dignity.
Learning and Development
[GRI 404-2 (2016)] In 2025, leadership development programs aimed to accelerate the capabilities of critical leaders by fostering strategic thinking, creating safe spaces, and enhancing people handling. These programs equip managers with practical skills to foster collaboration, build trust, and drive continuous team growth.
Our organization is also actively driving digital transformation by embedding Generative AI tools into our daily routines. Through targeted capability-building initiatives, we are empowering team members to enhance process efficiency, streamline workflows, and foster a continuous culture of innovation across all business units.
