Tycoon Kevin Tan-led real estate giant Megaworld Corp. landed on the ‘Best Workplaces in the Philippines 2026’ list, highlighting a key advantage in keeping the talent needed to deliver large projects.

The company was the only real estate developer among 55 firms recognized by Great Place To Work.

Why it matters

For a developer running multiple townships, execution depends on people, and stronger retention reduces delays and operational friction.

A high-trust workplace also supports productivity, helping keep projects on track and sustaining earnings quality over time.

What management says

“We are honored by this recognition, but even more so by the trust our people place in us every day. Our vision has always been to uplift lives, impact society, and help shape the nation, and it is our people who help us bring it into reality as we build sustainable communities that serve as catalysts for growth across the country,” said Lourdes T. Gutierrez-Alfonso, president and CEO, Megaworld.

“The Philippines has always had an extraordinary relationship with people. The organizations we recognize are proving that when trust is placed at the heart of a workplace, Filipino talent doesn’t just thrive, it can lead. These organizations are setting the benchmark, and demonstrating that a culture of trust and inclusion is not just good for people; it is the foundation of business leadership for the next generation,” said Charles Plumley, general manager, Great Place to Work Philippines.

Track record  

The recognition adds to Megaworld’s recent global awards, including TIME’s Best Companies in Asia-Pacific and Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2025.

It also posted a 98 percent employee approval rating and improved its standing in Statista’s employer rankings, alongside gains at parent Alliance Global Group.
