Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI), a leading full-range property developer in the Philippines, has been honored as one of the country’s Best Employers for 2025. The recognition, awarded by the Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) in partnership with global data and business intelligence provider Statista, highlights FLI’s unwavering commitment to fostering a people-first culture across its expansive real estate portfolio, which includes residential, township, office, retail, co-living, and industrial park developments.

At the core of Filinvest Land’s remarkable growth is its steadfast focus on its employees. FLI understands that its workforce is the foundation of its success, and every property it develops reflects its dedication to creating an environment where employees thrive.

“Our people are our family, and this recognition reaffirms our belief that when we take care of each other, success follows naturally,” shared FLI President and CEO Tristan Las Marias. “We are grateful to PDI and Statista for the acknowledgment, but more importantly, we are thankful to our employees who make FLI a place of purpose and progress.”

FLI’s commitment to enriching its employees’ potential is evident in the numerous initiatives aimed at advancing their careers. The company partners with the nation’s top educational institutions to offer FLI leaders access to certificate programs, short courses, and seminars essential to their professional development. Additionally, executive coaching sessions are organized to sharpen the leadership skills of FLI’s senior team, equipping them to overcome challenges and excel in their roles.

Employee engagement is also central to FLI’s approach. The company organizes a variety of activities, including annual sports fests, holiday celebrations, and health-focused initiatives such as free yoga classes and mental wellness counseling sessions. These efforts foster a sense of unity and collaboration, allowing employees to connect, recharge, and contribute meaningfully to the company’s success.

The Filinvest Listens Program

One of the standout features of FLI’s employee-centric culture is Filinvest Listens, an employee engagement survey designed to give staff a voice in shaping the company’s direction. By actively gathering feedback through this program, FLI ensures that its workforce feels heard, valued, and empowered. The company then uses this feedback to create a more inclusive and supportive work environment, demonstrating its commitment to the ongoing satisfaction and well-being of its employees.

Recognizing Excellence

The Philippines’ Best Employers list is based on an extensive survey that takes into account both direct and indirect feedback from employees. Over 400,000 recommendations from more than 10,000 employees were collected, representing companies with at least 250 employees. This recognition places Filinvest Land among the top employers in the country, underscoring the company’s dedication to fostering a positive and growth-oriented work culture.

As Filinvest Land continues to grow, it remains focused on its core mission of creating a workplace where employees can thrive and achieve their full potential. Guided by the principle that people are the heart of the company, FLI is committed to ensuring that each employee feels empowered, appreciated, and motivated to contribute to the company’s ongoing success. With its eyes set on continued innovation and expansion, FLI is poised to lead not only in the real estate sector but in its ongoing commitment to people-centric leadership.

This recognition as one of the country’s best employers is just one more testament to Filinvest Land’s legacy of success—driven by a dedicated team that is at the heart of the company’s growth. As FLI looks to the future, it remains steadfast in its commitment to building a workplace that values every employee’s contribution, ensuring that together, they achieve even greater success in the years to come.
