Recent Update: RSI NGD Group Strengthens ECTB with Hilton Hotels
Cebu, Philippines – As part of its ongoing mission to bolster its world-class employee experience, RSI NGD Group has announced the enhancement of its Rising Dragons Benefits Program with the launch of Expanded Corporate Travel Benefits (ECTB). This new program, created in partnership with two of the world’s most prestigious luxury hotel chains, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts and Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, will provide employees, key stakeholders, and affiliates with unmatched exclusive access to five-star hotel and resort accommodations during both business and personal travel, both domestically and internationally.
This latest benefit is another step in RSI NGD Group’s ongoing effort to put employees first, solidifying its reputation as one of the best companies to work for in the Philippines, a distinction celebrated on platforms like Indeed. With over 70 global recognitions received in 2024 alone, RSI NGD Group has consistently demonstrated a commitment to employee well-being and satisfaction, reinforcing the strong connection between employee care and outstanding performance.
RSI NGD Group has long covered business-related travel expenses for its employees, including accommodations, airfare, ground transportation, and allowances, providing seamless travel arrangements for those who need to move between the company’s global operations. However, the new ECTB of the Rising Dragons Benefits Program takes employee support a step further by extending coverage to personal global leisure trips, offering employees significant discounts and exclusive benefits on accommodations at premier luxury hotels around the world. ECTB also extends all exclusive employee travel benefits to key stakeholders, affiliates, and their immediate family members.
With the introduction of ECTB, The Rising Dragons Benefits Program now includes reward systems with service providers where Rising Dragons can earn points and miles which can be converted into flights, staycations, special merchandises, food, donations, and more! ECTB also further expanded the discount portfolio under the Rising Dragons Benefits Program providing up to 50% Discount on new affiliate products and services from Dell Technologies, NordLayer, Hertz, DigitalBoost, iStock, and Currencies Direct among many others.
This newly expanded program reflects RSI NGD Group’s dedication to employee satisfaction, catering to their personal needs as much as their professional ones. Employees can now enjoy exclusive privileges not only during business trips but also during holiday vacations, giving them access to luxury, security, comfort, and premium services, regardless of the nature of their travel. From corporate meetings in Manila to family holidays in Paris, RSI NGD Group ensures its employees are pampered with first-rate experiences, no matter where they are in the world.
For the full details of the changes on Rising Dragons Benefits Program with the new ECTB, members may refer to the official communications sent to their respective company email addresses. For more information about RSI NGD Group’s Expanded Corporate Travel Benefits, employees can contact the Internal Relations at [email protected].
At the heart of the ECTB program are RSI NGD Group’s new strategic corporate benefit partnerships with Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts and Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, two of the most iconic names in the luxury hotel industry. These partnerships ensure that employees have access to some of the finest accommodations in the world, whether they are traveling for business or pleasure.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, an internationally renowned brand, is synonymous with opulence, superior service, and elegant accommodations. With properties that span the globe—in the Philippines, from the tropical paradise of Shangri-La Mactan Resort & Spa in Cebu to the ultra-modern Shangri-La The Fort, Manila—employees and their families can look forward to unparalleled luxury in any of the brand’s locations. The partnership extends beyond the Shangri-La flagship brand and includes its sister hotels under the Kerry, JEN, and Traders brands, offering a wide array of experiences for every type of traveler, from serene beachfront getaways to cosmopolitan stays in bustling city centers.
During his visit to Cebu in September, Mr. A.R. Sy, CEO of RSI NGD Group, took the opportunity to personally assess the accommodations at Shangri-La Mactan Cebu. After a thorough evaluation of the resort’s services, facilities, and overall guest experience, Mr. Sy expressed his strong approval, commending the property for its exceptional standards of hospitality and luxury, which align perfectly with RSI NGD Group’s commitment to providing top-tier travel experiences for its employees.
Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, another pillar of luxury, caters to diverse needs with its portfolio of brands that include Hyatt Regency, Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, and Andaz hotels. Whether employees are staying at a sophisticated Grand Hyatt in New York for a business trip or enjoying a serene vacation at Park Hyatt Maldives, they are assured of receiving the highest level of comfort and hospitality. Hyatt’s global reach allows RSI NGD Group employees to take advantage of their benefits in premier locations around the world, including Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
The beauty of RSI NGD Group’s Expanded Corporate Travel Benefits lies in its global reach. Employees, key stakeholders, affiliates, and their immediate family members can now enjoy luxury hotel stays in both domestic and international locations, bringing added convenience and excitement to their travels. Whether traveling for work within the Philippines or embarking on a well-deserved vacation to destinations like New York, Tokyo, or Paris, employees are guaranteed a seamless and luxurious experience.
This benefit extends to RSI NGD Group’s growing international presence, which includes offices and operations across Asia, North America, and Europe. As employees, key stakeholders, and affiliates move between these regions for work or leisure, the ECTB program ensures that their stays in premier hotels are covered by the company’s extensive travel benefits, delivering comfort and peace of mind throughout their journey.
RSI NGD Group’s forward-thinking employee benefits program is part of a broader strategy that focuses on ensuring employees thrive both professionally and personally. The company has consistently been recognized for its employee-centric culture, which includes comprehensive benefits, flexible work arrangements, and extensive professional development opportunities which encompass the Rising Dragons Benefits Program. The launch of the Expanded Corporate Travel Benefits is another testament to the company’s commitment to fostering a holistic approach to employee care, blending work-life balance with luxury experiences.
With this new travel benefit, the company isn’t just providing employees with functional business tools—it’s offering them a way to relax, recharge, and experience the world with their families. This initiative exemplifies RSI NGD Group’s belief that a happy, well-supported workforce is key to success, which is reflected in the company’s consistently high employee satisfaction and retention rates.
Indeed, RSI NGD Group has garnered praise from employees on platforms like Glassdoor for its unparalleled dedication to its people, earning earning industry recognition as one of the emerging top employers in the Philippines for its innovative employee programs. The company’s ability to care for its workforce is directly tied to the outstanding results its teams deliver across global markets.
The Expanded Corporate Travel Benefits is available to all employees, key stakeholders, affiliates, and their immediate family members effective immediately. Benefits are activated upon receipt of the dedicated communication, and employees can begin making reservations at any participating Shangri-La or Hyatt property—whether in the Philippines or abroad.
The ECTB applies to full-time and part-time personnel, key stakeholders, affiliates, and their immediate family members ensuring that every Rising Dragon of the RSI NGD Group family can enjoy these enhanced perks in order to ensure work-life balance is maintained across the board.
Employees can make reservations for business or leisure travel by contacting the company’s travel management team or by using the dedicated online booking portals available through Shangri-La and Hyatt. The partnership also includes access to special promotions, exclusive packages, and other perks that will further elevate the travel experience.
RSI NGD Group is not stopping with its partnerships with Shangri-La and Hyatt. The company has confirmed that it is in active discussions with additional global hospitality providers and travel service companies. While there is no final word from the management on the full extent of these partnerships, it’s worth noting that earlier in 2024, RSI NGD Group hinted at potential collaborations within the hospitality sector to further expand its portfolio.
One thing is certain: these emerging relationships with top five-star luxury hotels signal a promising future for RSI NGD Group’s growth and employee experience. These actions seem especially expansive, as RSI NGD Group’s management has expressed that its expansion into the hospitality industry will not end with the ECTB program or the expected collaborations previously hinted at. This signals a broader strategy aimed at enhancing its portfolio and strengthening ties with luxury brands beyond travel benefits.
From exclusive airport lounges to luxury transportation services, employees can anticipate even more high-end services being added to their benefits in the coming months. These efforts, while hinting a separate bigger strategic business positioning, remain part of RSI NGD Group’s long-term strategy to continually enhance the employee experience and maintain its position as a leader in employee satisfaction and performance.
RSI NGD Group’s focus on providing world-class benefits has earned the company widespread recognition. In 2024 alone, the company received over 70 global awards, a testament to its commitment to excellence in every aspect of its operations. This includes its employee-centric policies, which have made RSI NGD Group a benchmark for corporate culture in the Philippines and beyond.
The achievements are nothing short of employees' contributions. The Rising Dragons have always been highly praised globally for their highly-regarded and consistent work culture which are the main driving factor of RSI NGD Group's immediate rise in its class. RSI NGD Group, therefore, considers the expansion of benefits as a well-deserved all-year-round reward for its employees instead of a simple uptick of its programs.
From generous vacation policies and comprehensive benefits to professional growth opportunities and luxurious travel opportunities, RSI NGD Group demonstrates a clear understanding that its people are its greatest asset. By continually investing in its workforce, the company is ensuring that it remains a desirable place to work and grow, both for its current employees and for future talent.
