Hilton garnered the #3 spot in Sri Lanka’s Best Workplaces™ list for 2024 in the large-sized business category.

Awarded by global research and consulting firm Great Place To Work®, this marks Hilton’s third workplace win in Southeast Asia this year.

The hospitality firm also ranked #2 in Vietnam and #3 in the Philippines in their respective 2024 Great Place to Work® Lists.

Feedback for a win

In order to determine this year’s Best Workplaces List, Great Place To Work® gleaned feedback from employees throughout Sri Lanka via its Culture Audit© and Trust Index™ survey.

Earning a spot on this prestigious list is a recognition of an organisation’s outstanding workplace culture, making it an employer of choice.

Hilton’s win stems from the positive feedback received by team members across Sri Lanka.

A trusted employer

According to Hilton vice-president and regional head of Southeast Asia Alexandra Murray, the award is proof of the faith and trust that Sri Lankan staff have in the company.

Murray said: “Our team members are at the heart of everything we do, and this recognition speaks to our unwavering commitment to creating an exceptional, purpose-driven, and inclusive workplace for them.

“As we continue to pursue growth in Sri Lanka and across South East Asia, we look forward to empowering them with meaningful career opportunities and a workplace where they can thrive.” 

A winning workplace 

In addition to this prestigious ranking, Hilton has been recognized as a great workplace in the region and globally. The company ranked #2 in Asia on the 2023 Great Place to Work List and the No 1 World’s Best Workplace by Great Place to Work and Fortune in 2024, following eight consecutive appearances on the World’s Best list, marking the first time a hospitality company has achieved the top honour. 

To provide team members with an array of growth opportunities and a best-in-class employee experience, Hilton’s initiatives include value propositions that enable its employees to thrive both professionally and personally; a suite of learning resources on management and leadership; and its GoFlex! Work schedule that provides an accommodating work environment focused on wellness as well as employee engagement and productivity.

Aside from these employee-centric initiatives, Hilton actively contributes to the growth of Sri Lanka’s hospitality industry while positively impacting the communities where they operate. For example, the recently opened Hilton Yala Resort launched the Hospitality Apprentice Program for Potential Youth (HAPPY) program, which aims to provide opportunities for young individuals aspiring to pursue careers in hospitality.
