In a significant recognition of its commitment to elevating the Filipino brand of service, Megaworld Hotels & Resorts (MHR) celebrated a major milestone at the 27th Mabuhay Awards, hosted by the Association of Human Resources Managers of the Philippines (AHRM) on November 4, 2024, at New World Makati Hotel. MHR’s Corporate Assistant Director of People Management and Development, Trixie Tan, was named HR Leader of the Year—a prestigious accolade that underscores her leadership and MHR’s dedication to exemplary service through its people.
This year’s Mabuhay Awards, themed “PILI at PINO, Yan ang Pilipino,” paid tribute to the Filipino Brand of Service Excellence, showcasing the talents and passion of outstanding HR leaders, managers, and employees across the industry. The recognition also follows MHR Managing Director Cleofe Albiso’s own Mabuhay Gold Award win in 2022, a testament to the organization’s lasting impact in the hospitality sector.
“At Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, our people are the heart of everything we do. We are incredibly proud to celebrate their achievements and recognize the values they bring to our organization,” said Albiso. “We keep our employees enthusiastic to keep our business thriving, which allows us to give back to our investors and attract the best talents in the industry. Our team’s success at the Mabuhay Awards speaks to the strength of our Circle of Happiness culture, which places employee well-being at the center, and our signature brand of hospitality – The Sampaguita.”
In her 15-year tenure within the hospitality industry, Tan has driven numerous initiatives that have enhanced MHR’s workplace culture and operational efficiency. Her efforts have helped MHR earn the prestigious Great Place to Work® certification, reinforcing the company’s dedication to creating a supportive and fulfilling environment for its employees. Tan’s impact on MHR’s culture reflects her commitment to fostering a workplace where employees thrive, which in turn enhances the guest experience.
With 97 nominees from across the country and 25 MHR associates vying in different categories, this year’s Mabuhay Awards drew inspiring stories of dedication and excellence from professionals throughout the industry. MHR’s achievements at the event add to a series of accolades, including a recent win at the 10th Virtus Awards, solidifying its position as the Philippines’ leading hotel group.
MHR’s latest achievement is not just an acknowledgment of individual accomplishments but also a reflection of the organization’s broader “Circle of Happiness” philosophy, which places employee fulfillment at the heart of its success. By nurturing a culture of enthusiasm and commitment, MHR ensures that team members are well-supported in their professional growth, ultimately leading to memorable guest experiences that embody the best of Filipino hospitality.
As MHR expands its portfolio, the group remains dedicated to fostering a positive work environment that celebrates the dedication of its team members, inspiring them to be proud ambassadors of the Filipino service brand.
