Due to insistent demand, we are pleased to announce that the nominations/applications for the 2019 Kapatiran sa Industriya (KAPATID) Awards is extended until 08 March 2019.

The KAPATID Awards is a biennial event of the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) established in 1995, which recognizes companies that exemplify good business practices in the field of industrial relations, quality and productivity, responsible and ethical business conduct, and job creation and business sustainability. Essentially, these practices are characterized by closer enterprise level cooperation between management and employees, whether in a unionized or non-unionized setting, resulting in labor and enterprise productivity, product/service quality, improved workplace conditions and enhanced relationship with society.

The awarding ceremonies will be one of the highlights of the 40th National Conference of Employers.
