How PayMaya is creating a workforce for the future
SUCCESS STORY
With a growing use base of 28 million who tap on to services such as remittance, consumer wallets and business payment solutions, digital payments firm PayMaya processes hundreds of billions of pesos a year. But competition is rife in a saturated market that is constantly eyed by international giants. To make its first-mover advantage count, PayMaya ensures its 700-strong workforce is highly skilled, motivated, and well-equipped to propel the company into the future.
THE CHALLENGE
Overcoming a shortage of specialized skills
With the COVID-19 crisis upending traditional forms of economic transactions, contactless and mobile financial services are more important than ever - and so are PayMaya's employees who are the backbone of the company. There are two key challenges in talent management:
1. A rising risk of global competitors swooping in on its talent pool which it has built from scratch.
2. Ensuring that employees remain engaged as the pandemic reshapes the future of work.
THE SOLUTION
Uncovering—and targeting—a nearby talent pool
Empowered employees drive business success - this is PayMaya's work ethic as it creates a highly-engaged workforce for the future. Using both LinkedIn's strategic branding boost and LinkedIn Talent Insights' deep data has led to a strong employer brand, drawing more people to join the company. Empowering its hiring managers to take a more active role in the recruitment process also cultivates a culture of trust and ownership.
To drive employee engagement, PayMaya taps on Glint, LinkedIn's people success platform, to ascertain and respond to concerns among employees. It relies on LinkedIn's learning platform in its pivot to remote learning, which has generated not only significant cost savings but also greater personal growth for each employee. From hiring to learning, PayMaya is gearing its workforce for an uncertain landscape, with a focus on sustainable business growth.
