Singapore, December 2: Today, Great Place To Work® ASEAN & ANZ announced the inaugural Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For™ Southeast Asia.
The Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list - first published in the US in 1998 - has long been one of the most recognized workplace benchmarks in North America. This year marks a major expansion of that legacy into Southeast Asia. More than 1.3 million employees across ten markets were invited to assess trust, fairness and support at work, with over 550,000 verified survey responses shaping the inaugural regional rankings.
Evelyn Kwek, Managing Director of Great Place To Work ASEAN & ANZ, said the list reflects a region-wide commitment to workplace culture.
"For decades, the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For List has set the gold standard across the US and Europe for what great workplaces can look like. Today, Southeast Asia has earned its place within that international standard of excellence."
"This first-ever list reflects a diverse and dynamic region that is coming into its own by recognizing organizations that have intentionally built environments where people feel trusted and supported to do their best work. The many years of research, and millions of employee voices, collected in our data, have shown that when that trust is strong, businesses grow in ways that lift people, communities, and entire economies."
