The McLarens Group, for the third consecutive year was recognised as one of the ‘Top 25 Great Places to Work’ in Sri Lanka and received this esteemed award at The Great Place to Work Awards ceremony held at Hilton Colombo on 11 July.

The Great Place to Work Instituteprimarily focuses on developing high trust workplace cultures by helping companies recognise, mould, improve and sustain their unique workplace environments.Many A-list corporates apply for this award and this year the survey was conducted based on a study ofover 30,000 employees from an excess of 115 companies representing over 20 industry sectors.

Since the award is about assessing a company’s workplace culture, the survey is purely based on whether the employee thinks the company is a great place to work or not. This involves obtaining and evaluating confidential and anonymous feedback from employees about behaviour; respect and fairness at the workplace through the Trust Index Employee survey while information about the company’s value system, programs and practices is gaged through The Culture Audit Management Questionnaire.
