Canva (Philippines) topped the list in the small-medium business (SMB) category, followed by Charity Committee for Orphans Care (ENSAN) (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and THE One (United Arab Emirates).

Several new entries made the list this year, including luxury retailer Chalhoub Group, telecom company Ericsson, medical device supplier Medtronic, and financial services brands American Express and Synchrony. All of these brands made it into the top 15 multinational workplaces in Asia.

This year, COVID-19 brought physical and mental well-being front of mind for both employers and employees. In China, Hilton provided a live-stream lecture on return-to-work safety with the chief doctor of the Shanghai Centre for Disease Control and the director of infectious diseases at Huashan Hospital.

In India, Medtronic introduced a vaccination program for employees and their families. Lighting company Signify has in-house doctors available 2-3 days per week. In the Philippines, Canva is offering free COVID vaccinations for all employees and their household families.

In the United Arab Emirates and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, maintaining employee welfare was their goal as THE One and The Chalhoub Group prioritized constant internal communication and transparency. From free sessions with clinical psychologists & life coaches at The Chalhoub Group through to daily group counselling at THE One, the organizations not only succeeded in accommodating for their employees in terms of safety but also managed to watch their organization prosper during these turbulent times. Charity Committee for Orphans Care (ENSAN) in Kingdom Saudi Arabia raised their competitive spirit this year by providing employees with competitions employees can participate in with the rest of their families which helped alleviate the stresses of COVID and provided employees with the needed security to accomplish their tasks.
