Great Place to Work® is the global authority on high-trust, high-performance workplace cultures. Through proprietary assessment tools and advisory services based on 30 years of research, Great Place to Work provides the benchmarks, framework, and expertise needed to create, sustain, and recognize outstanding workplace cultures. We work with organizations to define the culture that will support their business strategy, develop and implement measurements to understand their existing culture, as well as facilitate culture change that will drive improved performance.

We have been studying workplaces around the world for over 30 years.

We learn:— What makes them great— How does this lead to productivity— What is common cross borders; culturaldifferencesand similarities.

Ultimatelywedothisbecauseof our social mission. Great workplacesbenefitmanystakeholders, and improve the quality of society.

Confucius once remarked that rulers need three resources; weapons, food and trust. The ruler who cannot have all three should giveupweaponsfirst,thenfood,but should hold on to trust at all

costs: ‘without trust we cannot stand’. When we look at the truly successfulorganizationsofbothtodayandyesterday,wefindtheirleaders fostered principles of creatingtrust.

Consider the great military leaders of history (Augustus Caesar, Oliver Cromwell and Ho Chi Minh), as well as the genuinely beloved politicalleaders(Nehru,MaoandGandhi). And then there are the highly respected industrial leaders (Jack Ma, Lee Iacocca and Jack Welch). All of these great leaders built trust among their superiors, peers and subordinates, and it was this that spurred success and greatness for themselves, their units, alliances and companies.

THE IMPORTANCE

OF TRUST.WITHOUT TRUST WE CANNOT STAND.— CONFUCIUS

WHY TRUST AND WHY NOW?Engagementcannotflourishwithinanorganizationwithout trust within the leaders.

Perpetualgrowthinaworldoffiniteresources,suchas minerals and metals, is not sustainable. Economies arelookingatcreatingnewsystemsofcapitalismwithadifferenttypeofgrowth.

According to the World Bank, the global services industrycontributiontoglobalGDPisover70%,andgrowingatarateof1%perannumworldwide.Thisisthe fastest growing industry in the world. The growth in the service industry dictates that the world’s largest resource is in fact human capital.

AccordingtoarecentGallupstudy,thestatisticsaround employee engagement show that worldwide only13%ofemployeesareengaged.Thiscreatessome sobering and costly consequences in terms of business outcomes and employee wellbeing.

However,whenorganizationsthinkaboutoptimizingefficiency,theytendtolookatassetsandresources;specificallymachinery,output,suppliers,thesupplychain,infrastructure,andlogistics;frequentlynotfocusing on that most important asset human capital. Thereisaneedtoshiftattentiontooptimizingthehumancapital,andputtingemployeesatthecenterofoperationalefficiencyoptimization.

Thedefiningcharacteristicofthe“BestPlacestoWork” is that when we ask what is so great about working for a company, their employees tell us “Ibelieveinwhatwedo,whythiscompanyexists,Ibelieve in what we are trying to achieve, and I want to be part of that”.

This is the third Middle East and Asia Study we have published. In Great Place to Work terms, Asia is a new region, with many of our officesonlyopeninginthelast few years.

Employees at those 60 top employers indicate thatsupportiveinitiatives,intheformofprovidingequipment to enable employees to perform their job, welcomingemployeesuggestionsandcollaboration,and recognizing good work, are central to employee desire to remain with their companies and give their personal best. Therefore for employers in Asia, a formula for success with employees emerges: support them to retain them, and fuel their hard work with great managers. Let’s look at each of these elements separately:

Regardless of region or industry, organizations seeking to adapt to rapidly changing global economic conditions must learn how to maintain high-productivity workplaces and grow their customer bases in widely varying social, cultural, and economic environments. Systems for reliably measuring and improving employee engagement across industries and regions worldwide are vital to that goal. Business leaders worldwide must raise the bar on employee engagement. Increasing workplace engagement is vital to achieving sustainable growth for companies, communities, and countries — and for putting the global economy back on track to a more prosperous and peaceful future.
