Ceylinco Life has been certified as a ‘Great Workplace’ in Sri Lanka following an independent analysis of an assessment by Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture.

Sri Lanka’s life insurance leader met the required ratings for this prestigious certification in its first participation in the Great Place to Work assessment which included the Trust Index survey, which covered 100% of the Company’s full-time employees.

Notably, Ceylinco Life scored higher than the averages achieved in 2019 by the ‘25 Best Workplaces in Sri Lanka’ published by Great Place to Work for the pivotal statements of “Management is competent at running the business” under the ‘Credibility’ dimension, and “I feel I receive a fair share of the profits made by this organisation” under the ‘Fairness’ dimension.

“No one knows a company better than its employees,” Ceylinco Life Managing Director Thushara Ranasinghe said, commenting on the company’s certification as a ‘Great Workplace.’ “The survey is conducted independently and employees are guaranteed anonymity. Our scores in this survey therefore carry a high degree of credibility.”

“We applaud Ceylinco Life for seeking employees’ feedback and the opportunity to certify itself,” said Great Place to Work in Sri Lanka CEO Kshanika Ratnayake. “These ratings measure the company’s capacity to earn its own employees’ trust and create a great workplace – critical metrics that anyone considering working for or doing business with Ceylinco Life should take into account as an indicator of high performance.”

Through proprietary assessment tools, advisory services, and certification programs, including Best Workplaces lists and workplace reviews, Great Place to Work provides the benchmarks, framework, and expertise needed to create, sustain, and recognise outstanding workplace cultures.

The company was also ranked among the 10 ‘Most Admired Companies’ in the country by the ICCSL in 2019 and in the same year was named the Best Life Insurer in Sri Lanka for the sixth consecutive year by World Finance, and ranked sixth overall in the Business Today ranking of the country’s top 30 companies.
