Watsons Philippines continues to champion its mission of "Look Good, Do Good, Feel Great" as employees from different branches actively volunteer their time and energy for cause that uplift communities and take care of our planet. Employee participation in initiatives such as the 8 Alagang Pangkalusugan Medical Missions, 2 Operation Smile Surgical Mission, 3 Eco Tours featuring seedling potting and seed ball making, and International Coastal Clean-Up. This year, over 450 volunteers joined the activities, reflecting the company's strong culture of giving back.
Through these initiatives joined by the volunteers, communities gain greater access to healthcare services and the environment is cared for, helping ensure a cleaner and healthier people and planet. For many Watsons volunteers, these cause are close to their hearts, shaped by the stories and needs they encounter from customers in stores every day.
“Madalas kaming tanungin ng mga customers kung may libreng konsulta ang Watsons, kaya nakita namin kung gaano kahalaga ang ganitong pagkakataon. Hindi man lahat ay madaling makapunta sa doktor, sa pamamagitan ng initiative like this, mas marami ang nabibigyan ng access sa health care. Maganda na may ganitong programa para mas maraming Pilipino ang natutulungan at napapangalagaan ang kalusugan," said Akira Aquino, pharmacist at Watsons.
Watsons believes that when employees are empowered to serve, they become agents of positive change not only at work but also in their communities. Watsons strengthen this commitment by sharing volunteer opportunities, encouraging cross-department participation and showcasing the impact of every activity.
"Our employee volunteers are the heart of Watsons' community efforts. We are proud of our Watsons family for stepping up and making a different in the lives of others. Their willingness to volunteer shows that the spirit of care that defines Watsons is not only for our customers but also for the communities we serve," said Corina Marte, Director for People and Organizational Development.
Beyond the retail floor, Watsons employees come from diverse backgrounds and and this adds fuel to their volunteerism spirit. Watsons strengthens its role as an employer that values not just performance but also purpose. By aligning volunteerism with its People Pillar, the company gives employees opportunities to feel connected and fulfilled, proving that empowered people can create meaningful change in society.
Every small act of kindness contributes to a bigger impact, and Watsons employees continue to show that volunteerism is a powerful way to spread wellness and hope. Customers who wish to take part in this mission can also do so by contributing through Operation Smile donation cans located in Watsons stores, making them partners in bringing more smiles and care to communities.
