A Family Culture that Thrives: PascualLab Puts Employee Well-Being First

For 77 years, Pascual Laboratories, Inc. , has been committed to the health and well-being of many Filipino families. In staying true to this commitment, the company also holds in high regard the health and well-being of all its employees or Family Members as we call them.

This remains true up to this day. Despite the ever-evolving business landscape, the professional environment of PascualLab fosters a culture of collaboration and malasakit towards one another. Adequate measures and benefit programs were put in place for the benefit of its employees. In fact, the company was recognized as one of the Best Employers of 2023 by the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

PascualLab acknowledges the shift in workforce priorities, with millennials now holding invaluable roles and Gen Zs entering the professional world. Taking this into consideration, PascualLab employees or Family Members enjoy the following perks and benefits:

1.?????? Warm Family Culture. As a family corporation, the company treats every employee like a family member. To further instill this warm family culture, a range of engagement activities are conducted for its employees to build rapport and develop good connections with one another.

“Through the meaningful relationships that I have built with many of my colleagues, going to work is something that I look forward to. Having a warm family culture makes work easier as many employees are very willing to offer a helping hand.” Vanessa Gapunuan, Corporate HR Specialist.

2.??Hybrid Work Set-Up. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, PascualLab continues to implement a hybrid work set-up—giving its Family Members more time to pursue their passion, develop a hobby, or simply be more present in their personal lives.

“The hybrid work set-up opened a lot of opportunities. Instead of spending a lot of time in traffic, I spend most of my free time now with my newly opened coffee shop in my hometown. Now, I have time for a side hustle, while staying devoted to my corporate Job at PascualLab.” Mary Ann De Guzman, Senior Manager, Internal Audit and Risk Management Department.

3.??Promotion of Work-Life Balance. The company believes that employees can offer optimal performance if they have a balanced life. This is the reason why it encourages employees to take time off through company-wide scheduled vacation leaves—allowing them to spend more time with their families or take much-deserved vacations.

“As a young professional living away from my family, going home to my province can be tough to plan. This benefit enables me to spend more time with my parents, especially during the holidays.” Mary Ann Evangelista, Information and Communications Technology Division (ICTD).

4.? Access to Affordable Healthcare Products. Ensuring the health and well-being of its employees, PascualLab developed the Extended Family Use System (EFUS). It gives Family Members convenient access to the array of health products that PascualLab offers—making it easier and more affordable for employees to stay healthy.

“As a mom of three kids, I am a “suki” or a regular customer of EFUS. The health and wellness of my children are my top priority and, thankfully, PascualLab’s priority too.” Jona Baladjia, Accounting Supervisor, Accounting and Comptrollership.

5. Strong Wellness Program. PascualLab’s commitment towards building strong, healthy families echoes from within. The company offers a comprehensive wellness program that ranges from information drives about common diseases, wellness webinars, tutorial videos about healthy meal preparations, and an extensive Annual Physical Exam (APE) among others.

“As an HR professional and cancer survivor, I am a huge advocate for the maximization of APE. Through this benefit, the symptoms of my past disease were detected early on. For me, prevention is not just better than cure, it is critical for the cure.” Mylene Alto, HR Recruitment from HROD and Admin.

6. Passion Scholarship. True to its commitment to social responsibility, PascualLab opened the Passion Scholarship, a scholarship program for the siblings and children of its employees. The program aims to grant financial assistance to deserving children—helping them and their families reach their dreams in the long run. This is just one of the many Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities of the company.

“PascualLab helped my brother in pursuing his ambition of attending med school. I consider myself blessed to be in a company who cares not just for me as their employee, but also for my family’s dream and future,” Arnie Pineda-Sambo, Organizational Development Supervisor, HROD.

PascualLab is an extension of every employee’s family. Through its many programs and benefits, it hopes to provide a conducive work environment to help each Family Member to thrive in his/her professional and personal lives.
