Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed) received the prestigious Investors in People (IiP) Philippines Awards under the Rewards and Recognition Category during an awarding ceremony last July 25, 2023.

The award showcases MakatiMed’s visionary leadership and commitment to fostering a supportive workplace through its Rewards and Recognition programs that celebrate employees’ outstanding performance and remarkable patient care.

Among these initiatives are the Shining Star Award, a monthly incentive created to honor employees who have received commendations from patients for delivering high-quality patient care; the EPICT Award by its Nursing & Patient Care Services Division, reserved for those who embody the core values of Excellence, Professionalism, Integrity, Compassion, and Teamwork; and the 15 Minutes of Wins by the Professional Services & Service Operations Divisions, which celebrates the small yet significant victories of its staff.

MakatiMed’s approach to workforce engagement, continuous quality improvement, and adherence to hospital programs has resulted in a strong culture of appreciation among the institution. By prioritizing employee recognition, MakatiMed has empowered its people, leading to exceptional results and inspiring the whole community.

This recognition reflects MakatiMed’s collective dedication and commitment to excellence. As it continues to strive for patient and employee care, the institution remains true to its reputation as the “Hospital with a Heart”.

Last May 2023, MakatiMed achieved the Investors in People Gold Accreditation, being the first in the healthcare industry in the Philippines.
