CLARK FREEPORT – Wyndham Destinations (NYSE: WYND) celebrated the opening of its modern, purpose-built regional office here on Friday to support its expanding Philippines-based team and its growth across Asia Pacific.
The P150-million office building can accommodate up to 800 staff with morning and evening schedules. It features expansive working areas, seven meeting pods, four training rooms, a café-style canteen, and a games room.
The building has various green features and policies to further support the company’s other numerous sustainability initiatives in line with its WYNDGreen program.
The opening celebration included a ribbon-cutting, cultural dancing and a blessing of the building by Rev. Fr. Deogracias Galang.
WYND is the world’s largest vacation ownership and exchange company, boasting more than 220 vacation ownership resorts and 4,300 vacation exchange properties in over 110 countries.
The company, based in Orlando, Florida, has two business lines: Wyndham Vacation Clubs and RCI Exchanges.
Barry Robinson, president and managing director of Wyndham Vacation Clubs international operations, expressed his excitement as Wyndham Destination during the formal opening of the regional office building.
“This is an exciting milestone for our business as it gives this important regional support team a brand new, permanent home,” he said.
Robinson explains that the center is not a business process outsourcing (BPO) company “but rather a captive center wherein all manpower are considered Wyndham employees.”
“Our Philippines team has an important function, serving our four other corporate offices across Asia Pacific,” he said.
“It also recently began supporting the global headquarters in the USA. With Wyndham Destinations’ evolving customer base around the world, our Clark office will continue to support the company’s growing global footprint,” he added.
Wyndham Destinations Asia Pacific began in Clark in 2016 with five employees and, in just three years has grown its local workforce to more than 300 team members.
“Clark is the perfect location for this regional office, because of the talented and multilingual professionals, thriving business landscape, minimal congestion and well-connected public transport system it offers,” Robinson said.
Wyndham Destination is currently hiring for positions on accounts payable and finance, corporate marketing, customer experience, human resources, information technology, and more.
