VERY LITTLE TO GET IN DEPTH FEEDBACK.


"We are delighted to see CTC in the list of ‘Best companies to work in Sri Lanka', reflecting the

strength of the organisation's people processes and the spirit of a winning organisation.

We believe that the conscious decision made in participating in the ‘Great Place to Work®' survey

benefited the organization in two ways. Firstly, the survey results re- assured the iconic employer brand

of CTC plc as a ‘Best place to work in SL' where the unique skills that each employee brings to the

organisation are highly valued. Simultaneously the survey led us to take appropriate action to strengthen

our people processes, making them more robust and user friendly in order to further enhance the

concepts highlighted by the 'great place to work' survey process."

- Samanmali Chandrasiri, HR Director, Ceylon Tobacco Company PLC

“We are proud to be named a ‘Great Place

to Work’ for the second consecutive year

which would have not been possible if not

for the company’s foremost asset –

our people.

The company’s distinctive HR best

practices, respect for individualism and

diversity, open culture, trust and credibility

of management, all of which has allowed

our employees to create a truly great place

to work.”

- Mano Sekaram, CEO, 99X Technology

“I am indeed pleased that, this year as well, the GPTW

survey affirms our position as a much sought after

employer.

Our work culture which enables, empowers with

accountability and embraces different views and opinions

has held us in good stead in continuously attracting talent

and retaining them in the organisation. At John Keells

we afford our employees a well-rounded experience,

exposure to a wide range of businesses and opportunities

to grow with the organization and add value to the diverse

stakeholders who we are associated with..”

- S C Ratnayake, CEO, John Keells Holdings PLC


“Strategy is great.. culture is imperative..

but People are everything!

All our business strategies will be at risk if we

don’t have the talent and skills we need”

China Gorman, Previous Global CEO, Great Place

to Work®

“We've always believed that a great place

to work is as relevant in an economic

downturn as it is when times are

good. There's a common misconception

that focusing on this area is a nice to have

rather than a critical element of what

makes a company successful. Our view is

that a great workplace is a business

imperative”

Paul Rellis, Managing Director, Microsoft

Ireland

“Participating in the Study by Great Place to

Work® Institute gets us this feedback and gives

us credible input, which is tremendously

valuable for salient interventions thereafter”

Anil Sardana, Managing Director, Tata Power
