"Our certification as GPTW is a testimony of our efforts to cultivate a family-centered culture called “My Alcon, My Family” over the years. As the survey is purely based on our employees’ feedback and more than 90% of the entire population participated, it accurately reflects our company,  which makes me proud. The management and I are assured and inspired to continue to find ways to improve our engagement efforts as the workforce needs are ever-changing, which is evident in the wake of the pandemic. Our business results reflect the sentiment of our people. We adopted a 9% increase in our operation complexity from 2020 to 2021 due to volume mixes without increasing our headcount! When people are happy, productivity increases – that’s a fact! Additionally, the insights from the GPTW survey will fuel our future engagement efforts to cement a vibrant, hardworking, fun-loving work-family in Alcon Johor!"

ABOUT OUR METHOLOGY​

To be eligible for the World’s Best Workplaces list, a company must apply and be named to a minimum of 5 national Best Workplaces lists within our current 58 countries, have 5,000 employees or more worldwide, and at least 40% of the company’s workforce (or 5,000 employees) must be based outside of the home country. Extra points are given based on the number of countries where a company surveys employees with the Great Place to Work Trust Index©, and the percentage of a company’s workforce represented by all Great Place to Work surveys globally. Candidates for the 2017 Worlds Best Workplaces list will have appeared on national workplaces lists published in September 2016 through August 2017.

ABOUT OUR METHODOLOGY​

The Best Workplaces in Asia List

Great Place to Work® identifies the top organizations that create great workplaces in the Asian and Middle Eastern regions with the publication of the annual Best Workplaces in Asia list. The list recognizes companies in three size categories:

  • Small & Medium (20 – 499 employees);
  • Large (500+ employees); and
  • Multinational.
 

To be considered for inclusion, companies must appear on one or more of our national lists in the region, which includes Greater China (covering China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau), India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka and UAE. For the 2021 Asia List, companies ranked on the national list in the Philippines will also be included. Multinational organizations must meet the following requirements:

  1. Have at least 1,000 employees worldwide, with at least 40% (or 5,000) of those employees based outside the headquarter’s country and
  2. Appear on at least two national lists.
 

Multinationals also receive additional credit for their efforts to successfully create an excellent workplace culture in multiple countries in the region. The data used in the calculation of the regional list comes from national lists published in 2019 and early 2020.
