Where Tech Is Human: How RELX | Reed Elsevier Drives Global Innovation Through Purpose-Driven Tech Careers

Award-winning employers continue to attract top talent by offering meaningful technology roles that shape industries and create lasting global impact.

RELX | Reed Elsevier, the shared services arm of RELX, a global leader in information-based analytics and decision tools, continues to cement its place as the Philippines’ premier destination for purpose-driven technology careers. As the company expands its operations across Manila, Iloilo, Cebu, and Davao, it showcases how Filipino tech professionals play an essential role in driving innovation for markets worldwide—proving that technology, at its best, transforms industries and improves lives.

At the heart of RELX’s mission is a powerful purpose: “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.” This commitment to using data and analytics for societal good defines the company’s global identity—and places its Philippine teams at the center of meaningful, human-impacting work.
Tech for Good: Global Solutions Built in the Philippines

RELX’s Philippine technology hub contributes to solutions that tackle some of the world's most complex challenges. Far from traditional back-office tasks, Filipino teams work directly on systems and platforms that fuel scientific discoveries, enhance patient care, optimize legal processes, and empower organizations to make critical data-driven decisions.

These projects span a wide range of advanced technologies—from AI-powered research tools for healthcare and environmental studies, to machine-learning models that streamline legal workflows, to digital products that promote accuracy, transparency, and better outcomes for professionals worldwide.

Regardless of platform or product, one thing is consistent: the work done in the Philippines has immediate, global impact.

Guided by RELX’s purpose of enabling professionals and businesses “to make better decisions, get better results, and be more productive,” Filipino engineers, data scientists, product experts, and analysts demonstrate how technology built locally can transform systems internationally.
A People-First, Inclusive Culture that Sets the Standard

RELX | Reed Elsevier’s growth is grounded in its award-winning workplace culture—recognized as one of Asia’s Top 3 Inspiring Workplaces in 2025. This achievement reflects a long-standing commitment to creating spaces where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.

One of the company’s strongest pillars is its learning and development ecosystem. Through One RELX | Reed Elsevier University (ORU), employees gain access to structured learning pathways across five specialized divisions. Training programs cover foundational leadership skills, emerging technologies, AI and machine learning, data analytics, and business competencies. This holistic approach ensures talent can continuously grow alongside the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Equally significant is the company’s dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Through its Employee Resource Groups—including Women’s Circle, Pride Circle, Enabled (Persons with Disabilities), Mosaic (Multiculturalism), and Soul Circle (Religious Tolerance)—RELX fosters a community where individuals from all backgrounds feel seen, heard, and supported. These groups play an active role in shaping perspectives that contribute to stronger, more thoughtful technology solutions.

As the company’s Global EVP affirmed: “Every day across RELX, our employees are inspired to undertake initiatives that make unique contributions to society and the communities in which we operate.”
Leadership Rooted in Service, Not Hierarchy

RELX | Reed Elsevier’s leadership philosophy is anchored in servant leadership—a culture that prioritizes humility, mentorship, and genuine care for employees. Managers act as enablers rather than gatekeepers, ensuring people have the guidance, encouragement, and psychological safety needed to grow.

Elaiza, a data analyst who advanced into business analysis and project management roles, captures this sentiment perfectly:

“I’ve had supportive managers and mentors who encouraged me to pursue certifications, pitch improvements, and present solutions that impact multiple teams. It made me realize how much growth is possible when you step outside your comfort zone with the right support to guide you.”

Her story reflects a broader reality at RELX: leadership empowers, rather than dictates.
Building the Future of Tech—With Purpose at the Core

As RELX | Reed Elsevier continues to expand its Philippine operations, it remains committed to nurturing local talent across software engineering, data science, AI/ML engineering, product development, cybersecurity, and digital innovation.

The company’s approach to talent attraction is clear: show how technology roles can go beyond coding and systems to create solutions that genuinely improve lives and strengthen industries.

RELX’s global purpose puts it simply: “Our purpose guides our actions beyond the products that we develop. It defines us as a company.”

In an era where technology shapes the world, RELX | Reed Elsevier demonstrates that the most meaningful innovations come from workplaces where tech is not just smart—but human.
