Testimonials

From Our Members

“Our company is an active member of ECOP since 2013. We joined in the hope of finding an accessible avenue of collective valuable information related to labor management relations. But ECOP gives us even more. ECOP adapts to the unique needs of its members and responds in an efficient and personalized approach. In ECOP, we can confidently say that we are valued and that our voice matters. Our continued membership and patronage to its programs, trainings, and other services is a choice that we don’t find difficult to make at all.’’

For years, ECOP has been the beacon of leadership in the Philippine business landscape that has transcended its dutiful representation not only towards the interest of its member establishments but also for the general welfare - in harmony - of labor and industry alike. With the ever evolving legal requirement in labor and business, ECOP has stood its ground despite the odds of social clamor, political pressure and shifting economic situations; and consistently forged its role as a pervading voice of employers in the country. Kudos to a job well done!

Testimonials From ECOP Members

“Our objective when we joined ECOP is to keep abreast of new trends and best practices in HR Management. Our membership with ECOP has helped not only the Company but our employees as well. The learning sessions and updates that you provide have significantly affected the way our people work. One very important experience I can give as testimony was when I was invited for DOLE audit in Calamba. When I reached the Regional Office, I was surprised to learn that they will be doing a panel interview on the labor- only contracting findings for our Company. In order to prepare for the audit, I reviewed thoroughly the reading materials I got from the Cafe sessions that I attended and the information I gathered from that meeting helped me in defending our position on labor-only contracting. The updates provided such as the laws being deliberated in Congress are very useful to HR practitioners in the efficient, effective and legitimate management of human resources in our respective companies.”

Ms. Rosanna M. Santos Equicom Shared Services, Inc.

"ECOP, or the Employers Confederation of the Philippines, since the time of its creation and organization by its original founding members, has always been the VOICE and PROTECTOR of the interest of Employers, most especially on matters and issues about Labor Policy, Employment Policy, Wages Policy and Social Services Policy. And up until this moment, ECOP, with its objectives and achievements, is irreplaceable."

Mr. Rene B. Almeda Yazaki-Torres Mfg Inc.

The Employers Confederation of the Philippines is an excellent venue for relevant advice and information on industrial relations, human resources and business administration. The services they provide members, such as salary studies, learning sessions, training programs, and advisories, are very valuable and enriching, and greatly help HR practitioners like me to efficiently run a company. I am very grateful to ECOP for having been given the privilege to attend a scholarship program in Japan recently about IR/HR, and am truly thankful for being chosen to be part of this program.

“I’ve known ECOP existence even before my era as an HR Professional. I heard ECOP’s leaders, including its incumbent President Donald Dee commenting on national issues such as employment, business sustenance, and employers representation to the government when crafting policie. ECOP is , very much visible in radio and television interviews and through media appearances.

I remember when I was invited in one of the trainings ECOP have arranged for its members, even while the invitation was also sent to non-membes companie,s I felt the treatment was very accommodating and warm. I started to participate in most of their invitations, such as trainings, meetings, and have witnessed ECOP representation during the Senate discussions and hearing about contractualization issues.

It pleases me to know that as a HR professional, there is an organization like ECOP which is adept on employment issues, that is often heard and represents the employer sector.

The services that ECOP provides are all tailor- fit to promote business and truly reflective of employers’ concern on employment policies. Indeed, ECOP is in the forefront in the advocacies to makethe Philippines a better place for employment and investments.

Vishay Philippines, Inc.

"The Company has decided to join ECOP to establish it as a platform/education system for employees to be updated on all matters regarding employment, rights of workers, industrial relations, global trends, strategies on grueling CBA negotiations, and critical issues surrounding businesses. ECOP has provided support for the companies not just on the aspect of human resources (HR) but also on the strategic operations of the business as a whole. ECOP serves as the voice of the employers in legislative hearings to help the cause of both local and foreign investors.

As a proof of a fruitful partnership with ECOP, Daiwa Seiko Philippines Corporation served as host of interviews with a representative from the International Labor Organization (ILO), a plant tour in Occupational Safety and Health and is even selected as a proponent of the Business Action for Family Planning (BAFP) in the Philippines with the support of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). Finally, ECOP gave me an opportunity to acquire an international training in Japan (HIDA) as an HR practitioner.

True to its name, ECOP has brought businesses together for the achievement of the common good. Thank you very much and more power to the Employers Confederation of the Philippines."
