CLARK FREEPORT – Central Luzon’s economy is about to receive a major boost, with global tech care company Asurion announcing the addition of 700 new jobs to its workforce in the region.
This move is a testament to the company’s commitment to supporting the local economy, while also providing top-notch tech care services to its customers.
Asurion has more than 19,000 employees worldwide and has successfully operated in the Philippines since 2009. It currently employs more than 5,000 people across four facilities in the country, including a distribution center in Calamba City, an IT services facility in Manila, and two customer service centers in Santa Rosa and Iloilo, respectively. The company hopes to replicate the same success in Clark.
“We are thrilled to support the development of Central Luzon’s labor economy, given its growing infrastructure, talented workforce, and vibrant environment,” said Trevor Williams, Asurion Clark Site Director. “As a captive inhouse company, we believe that our continued growth paired with the benefits and perks that come with these roles, will encourage Pampanga locals to work within the province instead of in the highly populated central business district and make Asurion the employer of choice.”
With their business expansion in Clark, Asurion hopes to help raise Central Luzon’s Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) which is lower than the national rate of 64.2 percent as of October 2022. The company is expected to create more than 700 local full-time jobs within 2023 for technical support, customer care representatives, with additional human resources, operations, training, and support positions. Asurion is certified as A Great Place to Work® in the Philippines for 2023.
This expansion will not only create jobs, but other businesses are sure to benefit from increased economic activity. Asurion’s commitment to the region is a positive sign that it sees Central Luzon as an important location for its business.
