THE TOP COMPANIES FOR CAREER GROWTH

LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, recently published its list of the 2021 LinkedIn Top Companies in the Philippines for the first time. This annual guide identifies the best places for professionals to grow their careers. Many of these companies on the list are currently hiring, with more than 70,000 open roles in the Philippines.

Topping the Philippines’ list this year are: (1) Philippine National Bank, (2) Smart Communications, (3) Manila Water, (4) Philip Morris International, and (5) EY. The rest of the list is dominated by companies whose products and services helped make people’s lives better during the pandemic — from financial services, food and beverage to telecommunications sectors. All companies invest in employee success, career development, and equity and inclusion to ensure they continue to be among the best workplaces for employee growth.

Chris Anderson, senior news editor, APAC, at LinkedIn, said: “The past year has presented extraordinary challenges for so many around the world and our Top Companies methodology reflects these realities. It helped us surface companies investing in employee growth as we navigate a world of work that’s forever changed by the global pandemic. We found the best companies that have put their employees first by implementing various policies around well-being and mental health and helped them get back on their feet through training and development programs.
