Universal Robina Corporation (URC) has been named among HR Asia’s Best Companies to Work for in Asia for the fourth consecutive year, recognizing its people practices, employee engagement, and workplace culture.
HR Asia, a regional publication for human resources professionals, presented the award on October 6, 2026, at the Manila Marriott Hotel. Being honored year after year affirms URC’s sustained focus on meaningful work and employee growth as the needs of its people and business evolve.
URC’s approach is rooted in its core value to “Put People First,” which calls for care, trust, and listening without judgment. These principles guide how leaders support their teams and how colleagues work with one another. URC expresses this commitment through “Grow Beyond UR Job,” its promise to support employees’ learning and career growth.
Other HR recognitions this year include honors at The Philippines’ Best Employer Brand Awards in June and the Asia Best Employer Brand Awards in Singapore in August. That same month, URC also received Gold for Excellence in Business Transformation and Bronze for Excellence in Employer Branding at the HR Excellence Awards Philippines.
As URC celebrates its 70th anniversary, its ambition includes enhancing the lives of employees alongside those of customers, consumers, and communities. Within the company, that means helping people feel heard and supported, with opportunities to build their capabilities and their careers.
