MORE job opportunities could be
up for grabs in Taguig City after Ericsson Telecommunications Inc.,
one of the world’s leading multinational technology and
service providers, has chosen the city as a venue for the
company’s newest human resources hub.
“We appreciate Ericsson’s
support in participative governance which I believe is the key to
our growth,” Mayor Freddie Tiñga of Taguig said.
Ericsson Philippines and South
Pacific President and Country Manager Rajendra Pangrekar said they
have chosen Taguig as their latest global business operations hub
because of its potential as “the city of the future”.
“We see Fort Bonifacio in
Taguig as the city that will cater to our needs in the next ten
years, especially when it comes to physical infrastructure,
convenience, and accessibility to the central business district,”
Pangrekar said.
Ericsson’s Human Resources
Global Shared Services Center (HR-GSSC), housed at the One World
Square in Fort Bonifacio in the city, will handle Ericsson’s key
human resources administrative processes and will implement their
other global HR programs.
The HR-GSSC is the
organization’s second offshore operations in Taguig and in the
country.
Its first off-shore operation,
the Ericsson Shared Services Center, processes the organization’s
global invoicing and accounts payable transactions.
The division, which employs not
less than 200 personnel, was previously based in Ortigas after
transferring to the Net Square Building in Fort Bonifacio in 2006.
Ericsson, the leader in 2G and 3G
mobile technologies, also supplies communications services and
manages networks that serve more than 195 million subscribers
worldwide.
