PGA SOMPO bagged "Star Brand Awards for Non-Life Insurance" for the year 2021 given by Philippine Social Media Examiner. The awarding ceremony was held last December 15, 2021, at Okada Manila Grand Ballroom in Paranaque City.

The Philippine Social Media Examiner, as an online data and research entity, aims to acknowledge and highlight noteworthy achievements of a corporate brand that achieve business excellence thru PHILIPPINE SOCIAL MEDIA AWARDS.

Last December 2020 the Company has received the same award. PGA SOMPO will be an eligible nominee of Star Brand's Hall of Famer for the year 2022.
 

PGA SOMPO was selected once again with another recognition from an international award-giving body by bagging the "Most Innovative Digital Marketing Campaign“. The Company was awarded by the International Finance Awards for its "As Easy As 1-2-3" campaign.

In 2018, PGA SOMPO first launched the campaign. Through the Company's well-designed sales portal, this initiative helped PGAS’ customers to understand the product and have a better customer experience. This year, PGA SOMPO also launched its new product – CondoCARE; the same campaign was also utilized to ensure consistent quality for the customers' journey in buying our products.

Because of PGA SOMPO's continued commitment by improving and developing its digital channels through its innovative campaign like "As Easy As 1-2-3", the Company continues to be a digital disruptor in the Philippine insurance market.

August 16, 2021 - PGA SOMPO is honored to be awarded as the "Virtual Insurer of the Year - Philippines" in the 6th Insurance Asia Awards 2021 which recognizes Asia’s most outstanding insurance companies that have successfully risen above challenges and made the most of the opportunities in the industry.

PGA SOMPO is one of the key players in the growing digital market in the insurance industry that immediately executes digital initiatives and covers all possible online channels. Despite the lockdown brought about by the pandemic, PGA SOMPO’s business operation was not affected; through their work from home arrangements and digital initiatives, the company needed to be creative to provide world class service- exceeding customers’ expectations and building brand loyalty as a result.

"Positioning an emphasis on opportunities to innovate has helped PGA SOMPO to emerge stronger amidst pandemic." Mr. Fumihiko Harada, PGAS President and CEO also emphasized.

July 1, 2021 - The month of July holds a special meaning for the employees and management of PGA Sompo Insurance Corporation. The Company recently celebrated its 30-year anniversary with a virtual event for the employees featuring virtual games, digital contests and exciting announcements from the management.

According to PGA SOMPO Chairman, Mr. Robert Coyiuto, Jr. "Thirty years on, it is clear that the joint venture between Prudential Guarantee and Assurance, Inc. and Sompo Holdings, Inc. remains a formidable and productive one.

The joint venture was considered a strategic breakthrough in the domestic non-life insurance industry as it capitalized on each company’s strengths. The unity is ceaseless in bringing the country's insurance industry to greater heights.

With its commitment to constantly find ways to create a meaningful bond and interaction among its employees, PGA SOMPO continues to conduct teambuilding and other employee engagement activities regularly even amidst the current pandemic situation. 

The annual teambuilding is one of the Company events that many PGA SOMPO employees look forward to.  The usual 2-day activities during pre-pandemic times gave them the opportunity to reinforce their camaraderie and share quality time outside of work.  

Beyond the ongoing restrictions which prevent the employees to be physically together, PGA SOMPO successfully held this event virtually on May 24-25, 2021.  The activities provided the employees with the opportunity to reconnect and paved the way to continually show support, care, understanding and appreciation for each other.

While the event lasted for just two half-days, the activities not only reconnected the employees but also left a lasting impact on everyone as they got to know their colleagues in a much deeper level, recognizing one another’s vulnerabilities and strengths and how these complement each other toward the achievement of shared goals.
 

Amid the challenges brought about by COVID-19 pandemic, PGA SOMPO believes that communication and interaction among employees remain to be paramount as they navigate through the ongoing crisis.  While majority of the employees are still working from home, the Company launched “Salamat Post” on 15 March 2021.  

Coined after “Salamat po”, the Filipino words which means “Thank you”, “Salamat Post” is a peer-to-peer appreciation platform in the Employee Portal that enables employees to thank their colleagues directly.  A channel to boost communication, it enables the employees to let their peers know that their contribution makes a difference, and that they are appreciated when it happens.  This appreciation also comes with a bonus as it allows the sender of the message to give points to their colleagues which is convertible to cash.

Anchored on PGA SOMPO’s mission and core values, this platform is envisioned not just as a tool to enable appreciation or recognition for good work but also to build a scalable culture that will promote key cultural drivers such as teamwork, trust, collaboration, communication and respect.
