Singapore, September 27, 2022 – Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture, ranks Coda Payments number 15 on the 2022 Best Workplaces in Asia list. The list is based on over 1 million survey responses across Asia and the Middle East, representing the experience of more than 4.7 million employees in the region. 

This recognition is based on confidential survey data assessing employee experiences of trust, innovation, company values and leadership. Companies are also evaluated on their efforts in creating a For All™ workplace experience, inclusive of all employees across personal circumstances, experiences and job titles.

Employees at winning workplaces consistently report a far more positive experience than the global average. According to Great Place to Work data, 88% of employees at the Best Workplaces in Asia on average reported having a positive employee experience. On average, only 55% of workers across the global workforce report a similarly positive experience.  

The Best Workplaces in Asia show that investing in people is a proven path to business success. Those that can create a fair work environment that fills employees with pride will outperform the competition.  

“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Asia for putting the well-being of their employees first,” said Michael C. Bush, Global CEO of Great Place to Work. 

“During an incredibly challenging time for the region, these companies created equitable workplaces by providing flexibility and supporting their employees through strife. The Best Workplaces in Asia embody the mission of Great Place to Work and are indeed making work great work For All.”
