Stratpoint Technologies has been named the top awardee in the Gender-Inclusive Workplace category at the 2026 Philippines Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) Awards, recognizing its programs and policies supporting gender equality and women’s career advancement in the technology sector.
Presented by UN Women Philippines, the awards ceremony was held on October 28, 2026, honoring Philippine companies demonstrating progress in building equitable workplaces through inclusive hiring, career development, employee representation, and organizational policies.
Stratpoint’s gender-equality initiatives are anchored in FastForwardHER, a program that includes Stella Bootcamp, a women’s leadership development track; Stella Rising, a mentorship accelerator; all-female internship programs; and the Aurora Awards, which recognize women making contributions to technology.
The company has been a UN Women’s WEPs signatory since 2024 and graduated from the inaugural WEPs Corporate Action Lab Philippines in July 2026.
“Building an inclusive workplace is part of how we operate. This recognition from UN Women affirms that the culture we’ve been building is real and measurable,” said Jacqui Binayan, Stratpoint HR Director.
Nicky Balderosa, Stratpoint Learning & Development Manager, said programs such as Stella Bootcamp and Stella Rising aim to equip women with the skills, confidence, and professional networks needed to advance into leadership positions.
Stratpoint plans to continue its FastForwardHER initiatives, including another all-female internship cohort scheduled for January 2027.
As a national awardee, the company is also automatically shortlisted for the 2026 Asia-Pacific WEPs Awards, with the regional ceremony scheduled for December 2026.
