Foundever, a global customer experience (CX) services provider, has earned two Circle of Excellence distinctions at the Asia CEO Awards 2026, receiving recognition in the Top Employer of the Year and Wellness Company of the Year categories for its employee development and workplace wellness initiatives in the Philippines.
The recognitions highlight the company’s efforts to provide career advancement opportunities, strengthen employee skills, and promote a workplace environment that supports the overall wellbeing of its workforce.
The Asia CEO Awards is an annual program recognizing organizations and business leaders for their achievements and contributions to the Philippine business community. Its Circle of Excellence distinctions honor companies and individuals that demonstrate strong performance and leadership across various industries.
Foundever has previously received Circle of Excellence distinctions in several categories, including Top Employer, Service Excellence, and Sustainability.
Investing in employee growth and career development
The company’s recognition in the Top Employer of the Year category reflects its emphasis on internal career mobility, professional development, and employee access to learning opportunities.
Through its Talent+ program, Foundever provides employees with structured career development pathways supported by training, coaching, and professional certifications.
According to the company, 78 percent of positions across the organization were filled through internal hiring in 2025, demonstrating its focus on developing existing talent and providing opportunities for career advancement.
Foundever has also integrated artificial intelligence (AI) into its workplace operations through EverSuite, its AI-powered platform designed to assist employees with everyday tasks.
The platform provides digital tools for training, translation, collaboration, and workflow optimization, helping employees improve productivity while developing skills relevant to an increasingly technology-driven customer experience industry.
Strengthening employee health and wellbeing
Meanwhile, the Wellness Company of the Year distinction recognizes Foundever’s initiatives to address employees’ physical, mental, financial, and social wellbeing.
Central to these efforts is Thrive at Foundever, the company’s comprehensive employee wellness program that provides access to healthcare services, financial education, and other support resources.
The company also conducts Bene-feast, an annual nationwide benefits caravan that brings wellness programs and employee services directly to its workforce.
Among the services offered are digital healthcare solutions, teleconsultations, medical concierge assistance, and financial literacy resources.
Through these initiatives, Foundever aims to make employee benefits more accessible while encouraging a workplace culture that recognizes the importance of wellbeing alongside professional development.
“These recognitions reflect an employee experience built around two things that matter deeply to our people: the opportunity to grow and the support to thrive,” said Eppie Titong III, Foundever chief operating officer for Asia-Pacific.
“By combining career development, technology and wellbeing support, we aim to create an environment where people can build their capabilities, pursue opportunities and move forward with confidence,” Titong added.
Building a people-centered workplace
The latest distinctions add to Foundever’s growing list of workplace recognitions, which includes honors from the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards and HR Excellence Awards, as well as its inclusion among the Top Inspiring Workplaces in Asia for 2026.
The recognitions come as companies in the customer experience and business process outsourcing industries continue to place greater emphasis on workforce development, employee retention, and the adoption of emerging technologies.
For Foundever, the awards underscore its strategy of combining career development, AI-enabled workplace tools, and employee wellness programs to strengthen its workforce and improve the overall employee experience.
The company maintains that investing in its people remains central to building a sustainable workplace where employees can develop new capabilities, pursue long-term careers, and adapt to the changing demands of the customer experience industry.
