Organizations on this list are remarkable for delivering an exceptional employee experience despite the challenges of global scale and complexity.
To be eligible for the list, organizations must have 5,000 or more global employees.
This year, organizations earned a higher rank for their ability to outperform their peers both in their local markets and globally on measures of employee trust, pride, and camaraderie.
Rankings were based on over 9 million employee surveys conducted in 2024 and 2025, representing the experiences of more than 25 million employees worldwide.
The list of 25 Best Workplaces™ in the World was topped by Hilton in first place.
DHL Express ranked second, Marriott International fifth and Allianz seventeeth on the list.
These 4 organizations had representation from Sri Lanka that contributed to their parent MNCs global achievement of being recognized on this prestigious list.
“The powerful impact of these great organizations on our planet is a sacred trust,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work.
“Of the more than 9 million employees surveyed, more workers at these remarkable organizations say their workplace trusts them and wants them to grow as people and professionals.
These economic powerhouses also strengthen the communities where they operate, and are leaving behind a better world than the one they inherited.”
“The World’s Best Workplaces list casts an important spotlight on what employees believe are today’s exceptional workplaces, organizations where they feel trusted, empowered, and energized to do their best work," says Alyson Shontell, editor-in-chief of Fortune.
Kshanika Ratnayake, Director/ CEO of Great Place To Work in Sri Lanka states
