Manila serves as the global hub for English language first-line product support for data and applications, and technical functions of customer support.

Here, you’ll find a place to further hone your skills by working with other equally talented colleagues, as well as an appealing work culture, unique to our part of the world. We welcome employee involvement in various aspects of our work, from process improvements to performance recognition to community involvement. We partner with local civic groups for volunteer activities related to education, children, disaster relief and the environment.

    Our Philippines Operational Center recently won the Shared Services Excellence of the Year Award at the Philippines ICT Awards 2011, sponsored by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines and Business Processing Association of the Philippines. The award recognized Thomson Reuters highly skilled workforce, strong management, impressive growth in revenues and number of employees, diversity of international clients, passionate pursuit of corporate responsibility, and sustained support of the local Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry.

    Manila Senior Site Officer Raoul Teh said, “Our growth and strong presence here has not gone unnoticed, and it was such a thrill to hear the glowing praises from industry colleagues who were impressed by our story, and found it compelling and inspiring.”

    Performance really does matter

    I started as a research analyst and after just a few years, I am now a senior team manager.

    “Thomson Reuters never fails to recognize and reward you for your efforts and for a job well done.”

    I can personally attest to this because my career progress has been very fast.

    Leadership opportunities

    One of the highlights of my career was being chosen to be a part of a global leadership program. The program ran for four months, ending with a week in Mumbai to tackle a real-world issue as part of a team. As a result of the program I made significant improvements in my leadership skills. This experience took me out of my comfort zone, and brought significant improvements to my career and personal life.

    Democracy in the workplace

    Democracy is also of utmost importance here. Management listens to what people have to say, especially those down the line. I feel that there is no concern too big or small; every voice counts.

    Good training for future roles

    I started as a customer support executive for Investment Management with the Asia Pacific Helpdesk. After 1.5 years on the desk, I was accepted as a training specialist for the Manila Training Team where I was part of the team developing and leading training for employees and clients.

    Currently, I am managing the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) Customer Support Team for both Investment Management and Investment Banking segments.

    Realizing a vision

    Part of the global strategy of Thomson Reuters is to locate all support groups into one center to optimize the support group's potential and build an English center of excellence. Manila was chosen to be this strategic location. I am one of the first phase team managers who will make this vision possible.

    To be successful, we must develop our skills and knowledge to ensure that we exceed our customers’ expectations. Starting up and managing a team is one of the toughest roles I've had in my years with Thomson Reuters. It takes hard work, determination, patience and strategy to guide the team to success.

    Team building builds character

    “Building the team from scratch, and now seeing them recognized by customers proves that we are a team capable of delivering excellent customer service.”

    This experience has been one of the greatest achievements of my career.

    From number cruncher to people manager

    I started with Thomson Reuters as a management accountant for the Asia Pacific Region. After three years, I moved to the Content Management Team as data product consultant before taking on my current role with Global Aggregates Operations.

    As a first-time manager, I joined the Management Development Program. The training was very valuable in providing the theoretical foundation I needed to begin managing people. These types of resources are often available when you need them to advance your career.

    A transition success story

    Last year, we focused on migrating tasks to the Manila office while doing data quality testing for the expanded data offering. It was tough to train others while I was also learning many new things. We worked with different stakeholders from different regions to educate them about our data and processes.

    This migration task has been a major accomplishment. Our team was able to take on the role in a year's time. I also feel that I have made a difference in the people on my team because I see them more confident and more engaged. I recently received an Achievement Award for the work done on this project.

    Demanding, yet down-to-earth

    “The work is demanding but the atmosphere remains relaxed.”

    The general population at the office is relatively young so company events and activities are well received.

    Tremendous internal support

    I quickly adjust to my client’s needs by learning their process, pains and goals to properly align our services with their business. Through the tremendous support of different parts of the Thomson Reuters organization, these challenges become an opportunity to grow and maintain our business.

    Pride in delivery

    One of the highlights of my career has been seeing how our organization greatly affects a client’s actions through the market data we supply them. Based on my experiences,

    “what we offer our clients is really of great value and something to be proud of.”

    Fulfilling customer expectations

    Being part of a team that works with other teams to deliver high customer satisfaction gives me great fulfillment.
