Global company, Carelon, leads the way with the unveiling of their latest Western Visayas branch
Carelon Global Solutions Philippines, a leading player in the healthcare information management services (HIM) sector, has announced ambitious plans to expand its operations in Iloilo, Western Visayas. The expansion includes the hiring of 5,000 associates and the launch of a new site at SM Strata Tower 1 in Mandurriao, Iloilo.
The new site marks Carelon's second facility in the region, following the success of its initial operations. This expansion is a testament to the company's commitment to broadening healthcare service delivery locally and aligns with the region's ambition to become the global capital for HIM services.
The expansion focuses on building a larger team to support its growing operations, particularly in contact centers and clinical nurse operations. This move aims to provide employment opportunities and strengthen the company’s service capabilities through workforce growth and development in the region.
Carelon's strategy combines physical expansion with a clear emphasis on developing human capital. The company aims to reach 10,000 employees this year, a significant increase from its current workforce.
In addition to job creation, Carelon is committed to ensuring the holistic health and well-being of its associates. The company has established systems and processes to support this commitment, including incentives and benefits based on the principle of "CARE".
The infrastructure, innovations, and demand in Western Visayas support the projection that it will become the global capital for HIM services. The region's position as a preferred destination for HIM services is further bolstered by Carelon's partnership with local government units in Iloilo and surrounding cities to develop talent and support the HIMS industry.
Carelon's expansion in Iloilo also extends its presence to five locations in Western Visayas. The company was recently recognised as the 9th Best Workplace in the Philippines for organisations with more than 1,000 employees by Great Place To Work. Carelon has maintained this certification for five consecutive years.
The company's achievements have not gone unnoticed. Carelon Global Solutions Philippines was named a finalist in three categories at the Solaia Awards: Global Capability Center of the Year, Company for Regional Development of the Year, and HIMS Company of the Year. In May, the company unveiled its Innovation Hub in Taguig, designed to promote creativity and collaboration among associates.
Moreover, Carelon has opened opportunities for senior citizens and persons with disabilities while investing in talent development for individuals without healthcare backgrounds. This inclusive approach to workforce development is a key part of the company's broader objectives to support Filipino workforce development.
The expansion supports the region's ambition to become the global capital for HIM services and positions Carelon Global Solutions Philippines as a significant player in this growing sector. With its commitment to growth, innovation, and people, Carelon is poised to make a significant impact on the healthcare landscape in Western Visayas and beyond.
