MANILA, Philippines – RELX | Reed Elsevier, the shared services arm of RELX, a leading global information and analytics company, reinforces its position as the Philippines’ premier destination for impactful technology careers. As the company’s Philippine operations continue to drive innovation for global markets, RELX | Reed Elsevier demonstrates how meaningful tech roles extend far beyond traditional coding to create solutions that advance different sectors across the globe.

“Our purpose is to benefit society by developing products that help researchers advance scientific knowledge; doctors and nurses improve the lives of patients; lawyers promote the rule of law; and consumers make informed decisions,” according to RELX’s global purpose statement. “This commitment to using data and analytics for good defines who we are as a company.”

Tech for Good: Global Impact from the Philippines

RELX’s Philippine teams contribute to solutions that address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Their work supports scientific research that leads to medical breakthroughs, enables legal systems to operate more efficiently, and helps organizations make data-driven decisions that benefit society.

Through its Philippine hub spanning Manila, Iloilo, Cebu, and Davao, RELX | Reed Elsevier connects Filipino tech talent with projects that have immediate global impact. From supporting AI-powered analytics for healthcare research to helping create digital solutions that help legal professionals navigate complex cases, the company’s technology teams are at the forefront of innovations that shape entire industries.

Guided by RELX’s global purpose to “enable professionals and businesses to make better decisions, get better results, and be more productive,” the Philippine teams exemplify how technology can drive positive change on a global scale.

People-First and Inclusive Culture Drives Excellence

Central to RELX | Reed Elsevier’s success is its award-winning workplace culture, which earned the company the recognition as one of the Top 3 Inspiring Workplaces in Asia by the Inspiring Workplaces Group in its 2025 rankings.

The company’s commitment to employee development is exemplified through One RELX | Reed Elsevier University (ORU), which has trained employees across five specialized learning divisions. These programs range from core professional skills to advanced courses in AI, machine learning, data analytics, and business skills.

This culture also fosters comprehensive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs that create a workplace culture of belonging. This culminates in RELX | Reed Elsevier’s Employee Resource Groups, namely Women’s Circle, Pride Circle, Enabled (Disability), Mosaic (Multiculturalism), and Soul Circle (Religious Tolerance). This fosters an environment where diverse perspectives drive better technology solutions.

“Every day across RELX, our employees are inspired to undertake initiatives that make unique contributions to society and the communities in which we operate,” the company’s global EVP affirms—an ethos clearly reflected in the inclusive culture nurtured within RELX | Reed Elsevier.

“Our people are our greatest asset, and we invest in them accordingly,” said Albert Villagracia, Vice President for Human Resources at RELX | Reed Elsevier. “More than career opportunities, we provide career transformation, enabling our talent to grow alongside the rapidly evolving tech landscape.”

Servant Leadership that Values Employees

This people-first culture extends naturally into RELX | Reed Elsevier’s progressive approach to leadership development, which prioritizes service over hierarchy. The company embeds servant leadership principles into its management framework, emphasizing humility, active listening, and employee support over traditional command-and-control styles.

“I’ve had supportive managers and mentors who encouraged me to pursue certifications, pitch improvements, and present solutions that impact multiple teams,” shared Elaiza, a Data Analyst turned Business Analyst and Project Manager at RELX | Reed Elsevier. “It made me realize how much growth is possible when you step outside your comfort zone with the right support to guide you.”

This approach mirrors RELX’s broader vision of responsible leadership—empowering people and promoting innovation that benefits both customers and society.

As RELX | Reed Elsevier continues to expand its Philippine operations, the company remains committed to fostering talent across software engineering, data science, AI/ML engineering,

product development, and digital innovation roles. The organization’s approach to attracting professionals centers on demonstrating how technology careers can extend beyond traditional boundaries to create meaningful global impact.

“Our purpose guides our actions beyond the products that we develop. It defines us as a company,” states the RELX purpose statement—a philosophy that continues to resonate through every innovation emerging from RELX | Reed Elsevier.
