TOA Global is delighted to announce we have received the Bronze Award for Excellence in Employee Engagement in the 2025 HR Excellence Awards.
It’s an achievement we share with our 1,100+ global clients, who include award-winning practices in the U.S. Our clients support engagement programs that ensure their offshore accounting teams’ wellbeing and work-life balance.
Out of 10 finalists, TOA Global joined fellow winners PLDT and Smart (Gold) and Startek Philippines (Silver), following a rigorous deliberation by 13 human resources and talent acquisition industry leaders.
This is TOA Global’s first HR Excellence Award application and builds on the momentum from our first Great Place to Work certification at the start of 2025.
We’ve connected 4,200+ experienced accountants, bookkeepers, auditors, and other professionals with innovative accounting and business leaders since 2013, and we’ve learned much about what employee engagement ideas truly work.
The Essential Guide to Offshoring
How to improve employee engagement
Like our clients, we believe employee engagement improves when employers offer:
- Rewards and recognition, on top of a market-related compensation package.
- Tailored courses and learning opportunities throughout their TOA Global career.
- Clear and consistent communication, following our leaders’ examples.
- Comprehensive health benefits and wellbeing programs, including our highly anticipated annual sportsfest and wellbeing classes.
- Cultivating shared interests outside of work, so people feel they belong.
A total of 41 awards were revealed by Human Resources Online, which has served the HR community in Asia since 2004 by providing conferences, newsletters, and special events such as HR Excellence Awards.

Retain talent like the best accounting firms
The awards for Excellence in Employee Engagement honor organizations that have "demonstrated a clear understanding of employee needs and preferences and have implemented initiatives that prioritize employee voice and recognition."
This category’s winners were chosen for programs that increase job satisfaction, empower more people to be productive, and encourage them to stay with their organization.
Among the winners are the largest organizations in the Philippines in telecommunications, banking, and fintech—businesses like Globe Telecom, Amazon Operations Services Philippines, FedEx Philippines, PwC Acceleration Center, Bank of the Philippine Islands, PLDT and Smart, and Maya.
