Vice President & Group Head People & Workplace Management at PLDT Enterprise
Integrated employee data has improved HR coordination but reporting and interface still need work

One thing I want to have is an advisory banner with highlighted font that employees can visibly see during login, but support indicated this cannot be done. I have already raised this request to the support team, and they mentioned that the same request has come from other companies.
