US-based SilkRoad has opened an office in Manila, which will serve as the solutions provider’s “strategic hub” in the region.
SilkRoad, which is a leading provider of cloud-based end-to-end talent management and human resources (HR) solutions, on Thursday said in a statement that the establishment of the new office in the Philippines demonstrated the company’s commitment to the Asia-Pacific region.
“Given the speed at which the economy is growing, the Philippines is a very important market for SilkRoad,” said SilkRoad chief operating officer and co-founder Brian Platz.
“We believe the Philippines presents a unique opportunity for us to help local companies strengthen their talent acquisition and management programs and build their bottom line. Our presence on the ground will also serve as a strategic hub, helping us grow our operations all over Asia,” Platz said in the statement.
According to SilkRoad, the growing IT and business process management (BPM) sector in the Philippines has continued to attract an increasing number of investors who are focused on high-growth areas including human resources.
SilkRoad said its innovative HR solutions would allow clients to attract top talents, develop and retain employees, and achieve their goals.
As a solutions provider, SilkRoad leverages the potential of the Philippines as a hub of talent in software development.
“By learning more about their most influential employees, organizations can better understand how they contribute to the company and leverage their influence to help drive results,” Platz said.
“It is great seeing how committed SilkRoad is in their work here in the Philippines,” added Jose Mari Mercado, president and CEO of the IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP).
“Software development and HR are two fast-growing segments in the local IT-BPM industry. With global companies like SilkRoad investing in the Philippines, there is no stopping the growth of these sectors,” Mercado added.
