Two Philippine companies top the 2021 Best Workplaces in Asia list in two different categories, while seven others join other Asian companies to complete the 2021 roster.
Canva Philippines, the online design company founded by Filipino-Australian Melanie Perkins, topped the Best 100 Small and Medium Business (SMB) category, while DHL Express ranked first among the Best 30 Multinational Companies (MNC) in Asia, according to the list released by Great Place to Work Philippines.
Western Union Services Philippines Inc. placed 7th in the Best 70 Large category.
Completing the MNC category are Ericsson Telecommunications, Inc, 7th; American Express International, 9th; Synchrony Global Service, 13th; Paypal Philippines, 16th; SAS Institute, 22nd; and S&P Global Philippines, 25th.
This is the first year that Philippine-based companies are being recognized with this gold standard of recognition.
Great Place to Work surveyed over 3.3 million employees from over 1,000 companies across 16 countries in Asia and the Middle East to determine the 200 companies from 18 different industries in three categories: small and medium, large and multinational.
Factors such as well-being, innovation, pride, and fairness have elevated winners of the Best Workplaces in Asia above the competition.
