This is the second edition of the Best Employers Asia-Pacific annual ranking from the Financial Times and Statista, which lists the top 500 companies based on independent survey results from more than 50,000 employees.
Over the past two years, Statista surveyed the employees anonymously across Asia-Pacific countries, asking how much they would recommend their own employer as a place to work, and which other companies in their sector they would recommend. They were asked to give scores on whether they agreed with 56 statements, such as “I am satisfied with my working hours”, and “my supervisors are understanding when a family emergency unexpectedly comes up”.
Employees were most recently surveyed in May-June this year. The resulting information was combined to yield a score for each company.
Companies do not have to have headquarters in Asia. This year the highest-ranked employer is the US bank JPMorgan Chase, followed by IT company KLA and technology corporation Microsoft, which are also based in the US. KLA has maintained a top three position for the second year.
The US accounts for the largest number of companies on the list again this year, with Japan in second place and India third.
