The Association of Human Resources Managers of the Philippines (AHRM) honors Trixie Tan of Megaworld Hotels & Resorts as HR Leader of the Year at the 27th Mabuhay Awards held on November 4, 2024 at New World Makati Hotel. The award is a testament to MHR’s efforts in elevating the Philippines iconic service through its people.
The annual Mabuhay Awards is a premier event that honors outstanding HR leaders, managers, supervisors, and rank-and-file staff. This year’s theme, “PILI at PINO, Yan ang Pilipino,” raised the Filipino Brand of Service Excellence to the global stage.
Tan’s win follows Cleofe Albiso’s, Managing Director of Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, recognition as the Mabuhay Gold Awardee in 2022. “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. 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,” Albiso said.
Trixie Tan, Corporate Assistant Director of People Management and Development, received one of the night’s major recognitions – HR Leader of the Year Award. Tan has been instrumental in the creation and implementation of numerous policies and procedures that have significantly enhanced the operational efficiency, culture, and employee experience at MHR.
Her notable contributions to MHR are proof to her commendable leadership and her 15 years in the hospitality industry. Her influence and impact have been pivotal in MHR’s journey towards excellence, particularly in its recognition as a Filipino brand hotel to be certified as a Great Place to Work organization since 2023 until the present.
This year’s awards ceremony gathered 97 nominees from across the country with 25 MHR associates participating across all categories. Each contender brings award-worthy stories of passion and dedication. This accolade reinforces MHR’s strong workplace culture, recently acknowledged through its Great Place to Work® certification. The success also highlights MHR’s ongoing commitment to its Circle of Happiness philosophy, which emphasizes that love for work and employee fulfillment lead to exceptional guest experiences.
This recent recognition builds on a year of achievements for MHR, including the group’s most recent win at the 10th Virtus Awards, and solidifies its position as the Philippines’ leading hotel group. The Mabuhay Awards win serves as further motivation to foster a work culture where passion and service excellence are recognized.
As MHR continues to expand its portfolio of properties and services, it remains steadfast in its mission to prioritize the well-being of its team members, understanding that their happiness and professional growth contribute directly to the satisfaction of every guest. Moreover, this milestone encourages all associates to continue pursuing excellence and to serve as proud ambassadors of the Filipino brand of service.
