Great Place to Work® identifies the top organizations that create great workplaces in the Asia and Middle East regions through publishing the annual Best Workplaces in Asia list.

The list recognizes companies in three size categories:

Small & Medium (10 – 499); Large (500+); and Multinational. To be considered for inclusion, companies must appear on one or more of our national lists in the region, which includes Greater China (covering China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan), India, Japan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka and UAE.

Multinational organizations must meet the following requirements: 

1) Have at least 1,000 employees worldwide, with at least 40% (or 5,000) of those employees based outside the headquarters country and;

2) Appear on at least two national lists in Asia and the Middle East. 

The data used in the calculation of the regional list comes from national lists published in the early current year and previous year.
