Sri Lanka’s innovative technology company, 99x was recognized as a Best
Workplace in Asia by Great Place to Work Institute for the fifth consecutive year. 99x has won
this award since 2018 for its ability to be a supportive life-partner to its employees, placing it in
the Top 100 small and medium-sized businesses in Asia.
Over 3.3 million employees from 16 countries in Asia and the Middle East participated in the
region’s most extensive study of employee experiences, which aimed to identify the Best
Workplaces in the region. Only 14 SME companies were chosen from Sri Lanka after
assessments over the previous two years, including 99x. One key reason behind achieving this
recognition for five continuous years is a testament to 99x’s global HR practices. 99x is also
expanding its workforce to several Asian markets in terms of hiring while creating an inclusive
work environment.
“Throughout the years we have seen that delighted employees produce positive business
outcomes. We believe that by taking care of our employees first, our customers will be taken
care of as well. This was demonstrated in 2020 when the pandemic hit. We carried on as usual,
thanks to our workplace culture of putting people first. We are so pleased to be listed once more.
To be ranked on these indices by the Great Place to Work Institute is a brand-new milestone for
us every year. Our greatest asset will always be our employees and over the years, we have
strived to take every measure to create a workplace culture that fuels our people’s passion,
providing an environment that unlocks their full potential.” said Mano Sekaram, Founder and
CEO of 99x.
The Great Place to Work Institute uses their Trust Index survey to gather employee opinions of
their work experience to evaluate workplace culture.
Sekaram also added, “These ratings further measure 99x’s capacity to earn the trust of our
employees and create a culture driven by meaningful values, effective leaders, and the intent to
maximize human potential. These critical metrics should be taken into account by anyone
considering working for or conducting business with 99x as an indicator of a high-performance
culture.”
The business has been recognized as a Best Workplace for Women in Sri Lanka and a Best
IT/ITeS Workplace in Sri Lanka this year.
