Leading the sessions were Mary Jane Jong-Luarez, HR Consulting & Payroll Associate Director at InCorp Philippines, and Lea Soliman-Galera, Recruitment Director at InCorp Global Talent Solutions Philippines. Both speakers provided participants with valuable insights into employee benefits, compliance, and recruitment strategies tailored to the Philippine context.

The speakers also tackled common challenges in implementation and shared best practices to ensure both legal compliance and employee satisfaction. Additionally, the session explored top recruitment trends and strategies—highlighting the importance of aligning sourcing, hiring, and retention practices with the current labor market landscape.
