99x listed as a Best Workplace in Asia and Sri Lanka once again

In a period fraught with uncertainty, technology company 99x’s ability to continue ‘business as usual’ and be a supportive life partner to its people saw it being listed as a Best Workplace in Sri Lanka for the ninth consecutive year and in Asia for a fifth year, ranking at #17 out of 100 small and medium-scale companies in Asia.

In the largest collection of employee experiences in Asia, over 3.3 million employees from across 16 countries in Asia and the Middle East were surveyed to determine the Best Workplaces in the region. 99x was among just 14 SME organisations selected from Sri Lanka from assessments conducted over the past two years. “Over the years we’ve witnessed that satisfied and happy employees drive business results. We believe in first looking after our employees, who in turn will look after our customers. This was proven in 2020, when the pandemic struck and we continued business as usual, driven by our people-first workplace culture. To be ranked on these indexes by Great Place to Work is a brand-new achievement for us each year and we are extremely proud to be listed once again,” stated 99x Founder and CEO Mano Sekaram.

99x adopted a proactive stance from the early days of the pandemic, from rapidly shifting its people to a work from home model even before the country went into lockdown last year to keeping its primary focus on protecting all jobs at any cost. While maintaining productivity and customer satisfaction, the company has kept a close watch on employee well-being, initiating numerous activities and extending constant support to keep morale up and give its people and their families peace of mind during difficult times.  The company has been listed as a Best IT/ITeS Workplace in Sri Lanka in 2021 for a second consecutive year and is a Best Workplace for Women in Sri Lanka for two years in a row. With its people-first approach, 99x continuously strives to improve employee satisfaction and engagement within its open workplace culture, now more than ever in the virtual setup of the ‘new normal’.
