Ways RCBC Empowers Corporate Moms in the Banking Industry

Building a career in banking while raising a family is a huge undertaking. It’s a world that’s fast, challenging, but also incredibly fulfilling. For the corporate moms in this field, it’s a unique balancing act. At Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC), we see them as powerhouses. That’s why we’re dedicated to building a workplace where mothers can truly shine—bringing their best to their careers without sacrificing what matters most at home.

Want proof? Look no further than Lulette N. Villaflor, our Operations Manager for RCBC ATM Billing. Through flexible work arrangements, she is able to balance her career and family life. A true Corporate Supermom. 

Flexibility at RCBC Makes Room for Real Life

Every working parent knows that flexibility is essential. At RCBC, we’ve woven this understanding into how we operate. Ms. Villaflor herself points out that RCBC has "initiatives that allow her to thrive in both roles proving that motherhood and ambition can grow together.”

So, what does this look like day-to-day for a busy mom at RCBC? Ms. Villaflor notes that RCBC "conducts supportive workshops on parenting and personal development that make her feel valued both at home and at work.” Think about what that means: less time commuting, more ability to be there for a child’s school play or an unexpected sick day, all while staying connected and growing professionally. These virtual options give our team "greater flexibility in managing their work schedules and personal commitments." It’s about making things practical and recognizing that life happens outside office walls.

And because we know that managing it all can be stressful, RCBC doesn’t shy away from talking about mental health. Ms. Villaflor shares that "the bank fosters an inclusive leadership culture ensuring female employees are mentored and uplifted at any point in time, most especially for their mental well-being.” This creates a space where it’s okay to not be okay sometimes, and to find the support needed—a vital resource for corporate moms.

Growing Careers, Supporting Mothers

A common worry for working mothers can be whether their career path might stall. At RCBC, we see things differently. We believe the skills honed through motherhood—like incredible multitasking, deep empathy, sharp time management, and serious resilience—are exactly what make leaders great.

Another Corporate Supermom, Nancy Jao-Quioge’s own path speaks volumes. She journeyed from one position to another before landing the RCBC Regional Service Head role for the North Metro Manila Region. She’s proud that "RCBC provides a strong foundation of knowledge and skills through its various training like time management, planning and organizing, stress management and many more." This wasn’t just about hoping for the best. It involved "a culture of fairness and equity of recognition at work where even mothers like her are given equal opportunity to advance their careers and grow professionally."

As someone who rose from the ranks, Ms. Jao-Quioge knows that RCBC provides its employees with the resources and support needed to advance their careers and reach their full potential. For moms, this means your professional goals are taken seriously, with real pathways to get you there. Working in RCBC encourages its people to take ownership of their career paths.

The bank ensures corporate moms have ample time to recover, bond with their newborns, and ease back into the workplace. Beyond maternity leave, RCBC also provides health and wellness programs tailored to mothers, reaffirming its commitment to holistic employee well-being.

An Inclusive, Supportive Culture

A culture of inclusivity and empathy defines RCBC. Corporate moms often find a network of support from colleagues and management who understand and value their dual roles. Through internal support groups and frequent dialogue about work-life balance, RCBC cultivates a nurturing environment. This culture ensures moms never feel isolated or overwhelmed, empowering them to voice their needs and receive the necessary support openly.

Financial Literacy and Empowerment

As a leading banking institution, RCBC uniquely positions itself to empower corporate moms financially. The bank regularly conducts financial literacy seminars, workshops, and personalized consultations that equip mothers with the knowledge to manage their finances effectively. Understanding financial management is vital for corporate moms who often juggle household budgets, children’s educational expenses, and retirement planning. RCBC’s financial education initiatives give moms confidence and peace of mind in managing their financial futures.

Recognition and Appreciation

At RCBC, recognizing and celebrating achievements go hand-in-hand with motivation. The bank frequently highlights the accomplishments of its corporate moms, spotlighting their success stories through internal communications and annual awards. Recognizing their professional contributions and personal dedication motivates corporate moms, reinforcing that their dual roles are seen, valued, and deeply appreciated by the entire RCBC community.

Wellness Programs Tailored for Moms

Physical and mental wellness are crucial for maintaining the energy and resilience needed to thrive both at home and work. RCBC provides wellness programs explicitly designed to cater to mothers, including stress management workshops, fitness initiatives, and mental health support. These programs help moms recharge, ensuring they remain vibrant and capable in all areas of their lives.

Childcare Support and Facilities

Understanding the childcare needs of working mothers, RCBC strives to facilitate convenient and accessible childcare options. Whether through partnerships with reputable childcare providers or the provision of family-friendly office spaces, RCBC actively removes barriers for moms returning to work. This support reduces stress and allows moms to focus on their professional roles knowing their children are cared for safely and lovingly.

Celebrating Motherhood Every Day at RCBC

Mother's Day provides a wonderful opportunity to recognize and celebrate moms, but RCBC believes in honoring motherhood throughout the year. The bank's ongoing initiatives ensure that appreciation for mothers is ingrained within the corporate culture, providing continuous support rather than merely periodic acknowledgment. RCBC's everyday practices reflect profound respect and understanding for the invaluable role mothers play both at home and in the professional landscape.

At RCBC, every corporate mom is empowered to thrive, succeed, and inspire. The bank's robust policies, inclusive culture, and unwavering support mechanisms create an environment where mothers don't merely balance work and family—they excel at both. As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we proudly salute all corporate moms who continue to inspire us daily with their dedication, resilience, and remarkable achievements.
