GREAT PLACE TO WORK® SRI LANKA ANNOUNCES 10 GREAT WORKPLACES FOR PARENTS 2026
Great Place To Work® Sri Lanka has announced the 10 Great Workplaces for Parents 2026, recognizing organizations that create inclusive and supportive workplace experiences for employees with parental responsibilities.
Previously presented under a different identity, the recognition has been rebranded as Great Workplaces for Parents, supported by a strengthened evaluation framework that combines the globally recognized Great Place To Work For All™ model with a localized moderation process.
The 2026 study captured feedback from over 75,000 employees across more than 130 organizations, including over 35,000 working parents, with an average response rate of 87%. Organizations were assessed based on the experiences of employees with parental responsibilities, workplace culture, people practices, workforce representation, and parent-focused policies and programmes.
The assessment placed equal emphasis on employee experience and organizational practices, ensuring that recognition reflects both how parents experience the workplace and the systems designed to support them.
This year’s honorees are AB Mauri Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, Advantis Express (Pvt) Ltd, AmSafe Bridport (Pvt) Ltd, Dijital Team, EFL 3PL, Hayleys Plantations, HNB Life PLC, Ideal Motors (Pvt) Ltd, Marriott International, and Oxford College of Business (Pvt) Ltd.
The recognized organizations achieved an average positive perception score of 96% among working parents, a two-percentage-point improvement from 2025. Management competency emerged as the strongest driver of emotional connection, while managers avoiding favouritism was a key differentiator. Across other participating organizations, fairness in pay and profit-sharing remained an important area for improvement.
