Setting the Gold Standard for Workplace Culture

The ‘Best Workplaces’ recognition is evaluated through the Trust Index survey, a data-driven methodology that measures three critical relationships driving the employee experience:

• Relationship with Management: Credibility, respect, and fairness.

• Relationship with Colleagues: Camaraderie and team cohesion.

• Relationship with the Job: Pride in their work and the company’s impact.

The resulting Trust Index score indicates the percentage of employees who genuinely consider their company a great workplace, serving as a definitive benchmark for actual workplace experience.

"The organizations we recognize are proving that when trust is placed at the heart of a workplace, Filipino talent doesn't just thrive, it can lead. These organizations are setting the benchmark, demonstrating that a culture of trust and inclusion is not just good for people; it is the foundation of business leadership for the next generation.”
