"The fundamental FedEx philosophy is to put our employees first and equip them with the working environment that allows them to grow as FedEx employees and individuals."
"By nurturing such a positive and progressive working environment, I know that FedEx employees here in the Philippines are in turn delivering the very best service to our customers," he said.
