Forbes Magazine said the rankings were determined through a survey conducted by market research firm Statista, which covered more than 170,000 employees who work for various multinational companies and institutions from over 50 countries worldwide.

Companies were rated based on criteria including talent development, remote working options, parental leave benefits, diversity, work-life balance, and pride in the product or services that company offers.

Respondents were also asked if they would recommend their company to family and friends and also rate companies within their own industries and countries.

Ramon Ang, San Miguel president, this favorable ranking goes to show that Filipinos can compete and run proudly with the very best in the world.

It also shows that given the right training, motivation, support, and a sense of a higher purpose, the Filipino workforce is highly motivated, effective, dedicated, and therefore fulfilled in their work.

“This signifies that San Miguel is still one of the companies that many Filipinos admire and want to work for.”

Security Bank said the citation affirms the bank’s focus on human resources.

“At Security Bank, our people are our most valuable asset–we continue to invest in their holistic development. We’re extremely proud to see our forward-thinking and positive work environment recognized in such a big way. Our high ranking on Forbes’ World’s Best Employers 2023 list is proof of our commitment to being the Employer of Choice in Philippine banking,” said Nerissa Berba, Security Bank chief people officer.

Frederic DyBuncio, SM Investments chief executive officer, said: “Looking after the overall wellness of our employees is imperative as they are the lifeblood of our organization.

Anchored on our founder’s values, we continue to nurture a positive company culture, providing purposeful work and equal growth opportunities for our people.”
