ICTSI Manila workers get brand-new homes
Employees of International Container Terminal Services Inc.’s (ICTSI) flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), who won houses as part of the company’s employee rewards program, recently received the keys to their brand-new homes.
Sitting on a sprawling gated community within the heart of Cavite’s Tanza municipality, each of the 104-square meter (sqm), two-story homes is complete with its own perimeter fence and gate, finished ceiling, flooring and bathrooms. The house design also provides for a garden, a carport and space for future expansion.
Since the start of the ICTSI Employee House Raffle Program in 2016 – more than 40 houses have been raffled off to qualified rank-and-file and supervisory employees of the Manila flagship. Plans are underway to roll out the program across the company’s global operations.
“More than an opportunity to fulfill the dream of having a house and lot of their own, the ICTSI Employee House Raffle is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to our employees, who, in the many years, were and continue to be instrumental to ICTSI’s success and growth,” said Christian Gonzalez, ICTSI global corporate head.
Across its global operations, ICTSI has progressively initiated programs towards greater employee engagement and retention – providing a legible career path for employees and giving incentives beyond those mandated by governments.
ICTSI’s 32 terminals in 19 countries share the same best practices making the company one of the leading port operator-employers in the world.
