ExeGen Featured in an ILO Case Study — What It Means and Why It Matters


Executive Genesis Services Inc. is not a company that chases headlines.
For over 30 years, ExeGen has built its reputation the same way — quietly, consistently, and through the quality of the work: legitimate service contracting, compliant workforce deployment, and a genuine commitment to the Filipino workers it serves every day.
Which is why being selected as a featured case study by the International Labour Organization (ILO) — one of the most respected labor institutions in the world — is a recognition we do not take lightly. The ILO case study documents ExeGen's journey toward Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) — a journey that began in earnest in 2024 through ExeGen's membership in the Employers' Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP). But rather than letting assessment tools sit on a shelf, our team acted on what we found:
Real Governance: We formed a 50% women-led Executive DEI Committee to guide company practices.
Investing in People: Through the ExeGen Training Academy, we provided non-mandatory learning sessions to our employees—more than half of whom were women.
Documented Outcomes: By 2025, women represented 70% of our senior management and 70% of our deployed service personnel. Why This Matters Beyond ExeGen
What touched our hearts most in the ILO’s findings is that our impact extends beyond our own office. ExeGen actively guides our client partners—particularly in retail and manufacturing—to remove hiring barriers, balance gender representation, and open up learning opportunities for their own teams.
When we create fair, merit-based workplaces, businesses don't just stay compliant—they thrive. A Word From Our Founder In the ILO case study, Rhoda Castro-Caliwara, Founder and CEO of Executive Genesis Services, Inc.
, said:
"Our national employers' organization, the Employers' Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP), has been so helpful to us. With their support, we implemented successful gender equality and diversity initiatives. As a result, 60 per cent of promotions in 2024 benefited women. We are now helping our clients put in place DEI strategies that work for them."
Doing Right by People
When you partner with ExeGen, you get more than DOLE compliance and legal peace of mind. You partner with a team independently recognized by a UN institution for treating workers with dignity, fairness, and care.
This is what 30 years of doing it right looks like.
