Taipei, September 8, 2011 – FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, was recently presented with the Silver Award for Best Workplace Practices at the 3rd Global CSR Awards held in Cebu, Philippines. FedEx was recognized for its unwavering focus on maintaining a safe and rewarding environment where employees have opportunities to grow and succeed. This is the third consecutive year that FedEx has been honored for its workplace practices at the Global CSR Awards.
The Global CSR Awards is one of the most prestigious recognition awards programs for Corporate Social Responsibility in Asia Pacific, recognizing companies that demonstrate leadership and commitment to ethical values, legal compliance and respect for individuals, communities and the environment.
FedEx has continuously demonstrated its dedication to its employees. The People-Service-Profit (PSP) philosophy has driven many of FedEx outstanding policies, based on the premise that taking care of employees ensures the delivery of impeccable service to customers, which will in turn drive profitability and long-term business success for the company.
FedEx commitment to employees also involves building employee engagement. One recent effort to empower employees is the “I am FedEx” multimedia campaign. The campaign gives FedEx employees a forum for sharing their stories – whether about workplace triumphs or personal passions – while fostering a sense of community among workers dispersed around the globe.
