Grab Philippines revealed that the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has recognized the company as a "key driving force in the country’s economy."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How many respondents participated in Asian Development Bank's (ADB) study?

    Per Grab Philippines, around 1,200 GrabFood delivery drivers across Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao participated in ADB's study.
  • How many respondents said they would continue to seek earning opprtunities with Grab even after the pandemic.

    According to Grab Philippines, 95 percent of the respondents said they intended to continue to seek earning opportunities on the GrabFood platform even after the pandemic.
  • According to the company, ADB recently initiated an independent study, which highlighted Grab’s innovative service model. The said framework provided flexible and substantial livelihood opportunities for the company’s partners and created an offset against the rise in unemployment and helped thousands of Filipinos weather economic adversity.

    The study, Grab Philippines pointed out, comprised of 1,200 GrabFood delivery drivers across Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao.

    Based on the research, Grab’s local arm stated that its flexible work model has been invaluable for drivers throughout the crisis, and more broadly, continues to serve as a labor market buffer for people who may be unemployed or need additional side income.

    “The vast majority of Grab partners reported a positive work experience, citing the flexibility of working hours, adequate and attractive earnings, and autonomous working conditions as their top reasons,” Grab Philippines wrote in a press release.

    It added that around 81 percent of the respondents considered the flexibility of work hours as a leading factor for entering and keeping their jobs, who believed that not having a fixed work schedule has helped them properly manage their time.

    The respondents also enjoyed the independence — working without supervisors closely monitoring their work, offered by the Grab platform.

    Further, Grab Philippines stated that 74 percent of the study’s respondents said they would recommend Grab as a platform for livelihood opportunities to their female relatives or friends.

    Meanwhile, a staggering 95 percent of the respondents said they intended to continue to seek earning opportunities on the GrabFood platform even after the pandemic.

    “The findings of the Asian Development Bank’s survey reaffirm that we are indeed living out our mission of creating flexible earning opportunities for thousands of Filipinos. We are committed to continuously enhancing the livelihoods of our partners, and delivering value to our consumers while building a sustainable ecosystem for all our stakeholders,” commented Grab Philippines Country Head Grace Vera Cruz.

    “This report also reminds us that there is always room for kaizen. We will continue to seek innovative solutions to further enhance our drivers’ welfare and safety while delivering exceptional services to our customers. Our goal is not just to be a super app — we aim to be a super partner to every Filipino,” Vera Cruz added.
