GREAT PLACE TO WORK PERSONAL TESTIMONY
By GREG DE GARRIZ
(MHR Corporate Director of PMD and Director of HR - Savoy Hotel Manila)
Our certification as a recipient of the Great Place to Work award is a testament to our employees' wholehearted embrace of the Circle of Happiness culture in our workplaces. Our foundation in a God-centered work environment has been a powerful means of instilling and nurturing a culture of love towards our families, our work, our communities, and ourselves. This work-life model has not only shaped our daily interactions with guests and colleagues but has also created a lighthearted atmosphere, making coming to work an enjoyable experience.
Being part of the Megaworld Hotels and Resorts family, I can confidently say that I am in a great place.
The verse that resonates with this testimony is from Proverbs 3:5-ESV: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your path.Ó
This verse is used to highlight how faith, love, and a God-centered work environment have led to positive outcomes. By trusting in divine guidance and adhering to a culture of love, individuals have found joy and fulfillment in their work, creating an atmosphere of positivity and happiness. It emphasizes the idea that faith and trust can lead to a more meaningful and purposeful life.
GREAT PLACE TO WORK PERSONAL TESTIMONY
By APRIL RONQUILLO
(HR Manager Ð Twin Lakes Hotel)
I have three non-negotiable conditions: a company that knows the importance of family; a company that is accountable to its community; and lastly a company that believes in the potential of its people.
Megaworld Hotels and Resorts fulfilled all these points. Having received the Great Place to Work award is evidence that the MHR lives up to its company culture of Circle of Happiness. It allowed its employees to be the core and strength of that circle. By building spaces that bring people together - and helping families realize the importance of close communities and relationships. In essence, we are building a happier, more connected world. And MHR showcased it through ways in which the community can experience the benefits of our purpose. So, all I can say is MHR became my home away from home.
