Philippine Firms Dominate Asean's Best Tech Workplaces

Philippine-based companies dominated the inaugural Southeast Asia's Best Workplaces in Technology 2026 rankings, accounting for seven of the top 10 organizations recognized across the region.

The rankings were based on over 58,200 confidential employee survey responses representing more than 219,200 employees from technology companies in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand. Organizations were evaluated on employee trust, workplace culture, and the consistency of employee experience across their workforce.

Cisco topped the regional list, followed by Carelon Global Solutions Philippines and Insight. Other Philippine-based organizations in the top 10 included Genpact, Concentrix Philippines, Capital One Philippines, and Lexmark Research and Development Corp., a subsidiary of Xerox Corp. Cognizant ranked eighth, while Vietnam-based Bosch Global Software Technology Co. Ltd. placed ninth.

The study found that younger employees expressed high levels of confidence in their employers, with workers aged 25 and below recording a 91.1-percent trust score in leadership. This demographic group also accounted for 11 percent of respondents and had been with their employers for less than two years.
