PNB, Smart among best PH firms to work for in 2021, says LinkedIn
Here's the list of the 15 best workplaces in the Philippines, according to LinkedIn

Philippine National Bank (PNB) and Smart Communications topped professional network LinkedIn’s Top Companies in the Philippines report, which was launched in the country for the first time.

LinkedIn said all companies that made the list “invest in employee success, career development, and equity and inclusion to ensure they continue to be among the best workplaces for employee growth.”

“We found the best companies that have put their employees first by implementing various policies around well-being and mental health and helped them get back on their feet through training and development programs,” said Chris Anderson, LinkedIn senior news editor for Asia Pacific.

Here’s the complete list:

  1. Philippine National Bank
  2. Smart Communications
  3. Manila Water
  4. Philip Morris International
  5. EY
  6. Land Bank of the Philippines
  7. Manulife Philippines
  8. Metrobank
  9. Accenture
  10. Nestle
  11. Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines
  12. Macquarie Group
  13. NCR Corporation
  14. BDO Unibank
  15. IQVIA

LinkedIn said it found key trends among the top companies. These include the culture of developing employees’ skills to meet current and future job requirements.

The platform also found that employers in essential services “continue to be the workplace of choice for professionals” in the Philippines. Financial services, telecommunications, and beverages dominated the list, reflecting the “resilience” of these industries despite the pandemic.

“These companies are ahead of the game in supporting their talent pool, with programs for flexible work arrangements and employee well-being, among others,” LinkedIn said.

LinkedIn used internal data to rank companies according to 7 pillars: ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity, and educational background.

To be eligible, firms must have at least 500 employees as of December 31, 2020, and layoffs must not be higher than 10% of the workforce. – Rappler.com
