Great Place To Work Announces the Best Workplaces in Asia™ 2024 Representing 6.9 Million Employee Experiences

HANOI, Vietnam, Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Great Place To Work® announced its Best Workplaces in Asia™ for 2024. The list is based on confidential survey data, with over 2.7 million individual responses representing the experiences of nearly 6.9 million employees from across the region. Employees reported their experiences of trust, innovation, company values, and leadership, and these rankings are based on that feedback.

Companies are also evaluated on how well they are creating a For All™ workplace experience, where all employees feel included no matter who they are or what they do.

Companies on the list in 2024 have higher numbers of employees who report a positive experience at work compared to the typical workplace in Asia. When companies build high levels of trust with employees, they are more likely to be prepared for disruption — including the rise of generative AI.

In a market survey of more than 7,000 employees across Asia and the Middle East, Great Place To Work found that less than half of employees (49%) say their organization is training them on the risks and benefits of using AI tools at work and only 46% said their employer was investing in training them on AI tools.

However, at the Best Workplaces™, 89% of employees report that their company celebrates people who try new ways of doing things — 17 points higher than the 72% of employees who said the same at typical workplaces in Vietnam.

When employees say their company celebrates people who try new things, they are 69% more likely to adapt quickly to change and 18% more likely to give extra effort on the job — both key elements of a culture that can quickly add AI tools.

“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Asia,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “These companies prove that investing in people can lead to better outcomes for business and better outcomes for the planet.”

“Vietnam has entered a new era of unprecedented demographic change over the next 50 years, not just within the country but also among its closest allies and competitors,” said Mr. Roland Wee, Board Chair of Great Place To Work® ASEAN & ANZ. “Whether the companies in Vietnam, and by extension the entire Vietnamese economy, can capitalize on this opportunity will be determined in large part by their ability to attract and retain the best talent to fuel their growth. While companies in Vietnam benefited from a tailwind over the past 50 years, the demographic headwinds are real for the next 50.”

Mr. Roland Wee emphasized that the companies recognized in the Best Workplaces in Asia list understand that to do well, they must also do good. This applies to their employees, shareholders, and society at large. These companies know that if it’s better for people, it’s better for business and better for Vietnam.

At Highlands Coffee, a Best Workplace ranked #16 in the Large Category, employee engagement is at the heart of the organization’s success. Mr. Francis Papillon, CHRO of Highlands Coffee, stated: “Our engaged employees are not just contributors; they are passionate, creative thinkers who are integral to our family. Employee engagement is the driving force that propels us forward, empowering us to meet and exceed our goals.”

He added, “Receiving the Best Workplaces in Asia accolade is another key milestone in our journey to becoming a great global Vietnamese organization. It reflects the dedication, hard work, and innovative spirit of our incredible team ‘Go Highlanders, go!'”

About the Best Workplaces in Asia 2024 List

Great Place To Work selected the Best Workplaces in Asia™ 2024 List by analyzing companies’ workplace programs and surveying over 2.7 million employees across multiple countries in Asia and the Middle East. The responses represent the experience of nearly 6.9 million employees across the region.

To be considered, companies must first be identified as outstanding in their local region by appearing on one or more of our Best Workplaces™ Lists in Bahrain, Greater China (including Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan), India, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Oman, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, UAE, or Vietnam during 2023 or early 2024.

Companies rank in three size categories: small and medium (50–499 employees), large (500+ employees), and multinational. Multinational organizations are also assessed on their efforts to create great workplaces across multiple countries in the region. Multinationals must appear on at least two national lists in Asia and the Middle East and have at least 1,000 employees worldwide with either 40% of its total workforce, or more than 5,000 employees located outside their headquarters country.

HZICC: The 2025 Hangzhou Highlights Awards Celebrating Visionaries Elevating the City’s Global Profile

Published

April 27, 2026

HANGZHOU, China, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What does the world see when it looks at Hangzhou? The Hangzhou & Friends: 2025 Hangzhou Highlights Awards, unveiled on February 4, offered an answer—not through statistics alone, but through the stories of connection that unfolded across the year.

The awards were born from a simple recognition: that a city’s global presence is built not only on grand events, but on the countless moments when people reach across borders. To honor this, the organizers structured the awards into four chapters: Dialogue of Civilizations, Industrial Narratives, Social Innovation, and Moments of the Year, each capturing a different way that Hangzhou touched the world.

Across these categories, moments of quiet resonance stood out. In the realm of cultural dialogue, ten friends from ten nations explored Hangzhou for the first time, their journeys later echoed by the city’s own return visits to Istanbul and Cairo. After the visits, a German photographer’s image of Qiandao Lake’s giant net fishing found its way to the pages of The Times, Hangzhou’s bond with Verona deepened into a year-long romance of music, art, and shared celebration, proving that sister-city ties can bloom into something far richer than ceremony.

On the Liangzhu Day of 2025, the “Liangzhu and the World: Dialogue between Liangzhu Ancient City and Rome Ancient City” was held—one of several moments when the region’s archaeological treasures found new resonance on the global stage. Beyond culture, the awards recognized how Hangzhou’s industries are telling Chinese stories overseas, from Geely’s global development to the rise of cross-border e-commerce that brings Hangzhou products，and the culture behind them directly to international consumers.

Yet there were also countless other people and moments that helped the world know Hangzhou. An international student from Pakistan filmed the city he had come to call home, capturing not just its landmarks but the feeling of belonging. A volunteer from Zimbabwe found himself holding hands with local police and strangers in a human chain at West Lake to maintain traffic order, discovering that being welcomed means being trusted to help. The Hangzhou International Conference Center became a stage for cross-cultural encounter, while Hangzhou’s tech-themed travel routes offered visitors a chance to explore the city’s cutting-edge innovations.

Together, these moments traced a portrait of Hangzhou not as a place that simply welcomes visitors, but as one that listens, shares, and grows, through the people who carry its stories onward.
