Globe has recently made significant strides in promoting a more inclusive work environment by commemorating Eid al-Fitr with its employees. This initiative is a testament to the company’s dedication to acknowledging the diverse cultures and religious beliefs of its workforce, with the goal of fostering a deeper understanding and respect within the organization.

Eid al-Fitr marks the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan and is a time of celebration and blessings. Globe acknowledges this significant period as integral to the lives of its Muslim employees, ensuring that everyone feels appreciated and respected.

“We take pride in the diversity of voices, narratives, and viewpoints that shape Globe today. Just as Globe provides essential services to every Filipino, our employees can find their purpose and lead their best lives here at Globe,” stated Ato Jiao, Globe’s Chief Human Resource Officer.

Jiao further highlighted the company’s gratitude for the employees’ commitment to their work, stating: “Ramadan is a time characterized by sacrifice and self-discipline, and we extend our deepest appreciation to every Ka-Globe who delivered their best work despite the physical challenges of fasting.”

Among Globe’s Muslim employees is Warlie Flandez, a Senior Expert at the Network Technical Group. He shared his experience of observing Ramadan while managing his daily work responsibilities. “Fasting while working tested my patience and discipline, but the support from my colleagues made it manageable. Taking short breaks for prayers helped me stay focused and energized throughout the day,” Flandez shared.

Meanwhile, Eman Sardouk from Globe’s Consumer Mobile Business shared how fasting at work provided her with a unique perspective. “My experience with fasting, especially at the office, was surprisingly manageable. While some might find it challenging, I personally didn’t. Experiencing hunger and thirst for an extended period during the workday actually helps me recognize and appreciate the blessings in my life,” she expressed.

Globe’s Eid-al-Fitr initiative also includes tangible support for its Muslim employees, providing a token to help them celebrate with their families. “We sent our Muslim Ka-Globe a token. We hope it will make their gatherings more memorable,” said Jiao.

Roy Cadungo, Senior Expert for Area Sales from Globe’s Channel Management Group team in Cagayan De Oro, underscored how these contributions positively affected his community. “I used the support I received from Globe to purchase groceries and distributed them to Ulas Farmers, fishermen’s families in Naawan, and some local friends in Laguindingan, Tubajon, and FS Catanico riverside boulders. Thank you, Globe, for sharing a blessing,” he expressed.

By commemorating Eid al-Fitr and integrating such cultural observances into its corporate values, Globe continues to establish an industry benchmark for inclusivity and engagement, ensuring that every employee, regardless of their background, feels a sense of belonging and community within the company.
