Inclusivity as a competitive advantage

MUFG recognized as a champion of diversity

- 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has come a long way from being an aspirational talking point. In today's workplace, it functions as an objective and measurable engine of performance. Organizations that build DEI into their structures show consistently stronger engagement, better decision-making, and higher trust across teams.

And why wouldn’t they? In a world of 8 billion people—each with different ages, genders, backgrounds, and ways of seeing—any organization that can unlock the full potential of its workforce naturally widens its field of advantage.

MUFG Bank, Ltd. Manila Branch is one such company, having been awarded by the BusinessWorld Best Places to Work Awards the ‘Excellence Award for Best Places to Work For Ethnic Minorities’, alongside a Merit Award for Best Places to Work For All Organization Sizes, For Medium Organizations, For Women, For LGBTQ+, For Disabled, For Ages 16-34, For Ages 55+, and For Employee Well-Being.

“At MUFG Manila, diversity is more than a policy—it’s embedded in our culture. We continuously implement programs that celebrate our unique backgrounds and strengthen mutual understanding,” Masami Yoshitake, MUFG Manila Country Head, said in an email.

The BusinessWorld Best Places to Work Awards, developed in partnership with global employee-experience platform WorkL, recognize Philippine organizations that deliver consistently high levels of engagement, well-being, inclusion, and workplace satisfaction.
