Ericsson opens new hub in Taguig

The Taguig City government yesterday assured unemployed residents of more job opportunities with the transfer of multinational technology and service provider Ericsson Telecommunications Inc.’s human resources hub to the city.

Ericsson’s Human Resources Global Shared Services Center (HR-GSSC), now housed at the One World Square in Fort Bonifacio, will handle Ericsson’s key human resources administrative processes and will implement their other global HR programs.

The HR-GSSC is the organization’s second offshore operations in Taguig and in the country.

The Ericsson Shared Services Center, the firm’s first offshore operation, was originally based in Ortigas but transferred to Fort Bonifacio in 2006. It processes the organization’s global invoicing and accounts payable transactions.

Rajendra Pangrekar, president and country manager of Ericsson Philippines and the South Pacific, said they  decided to house their global operations in Taguig because of its potential as “the city of the future.”   – Rhodina Villanueva
