The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce has been certified as a great workplace by research and consulting firm Great Place to Work® in Sri Lanka. 

The Ceylon Chamber was awarded this certification based on extensive ratings provided by employees which address key areas of employee satisfaction. These include the supportiveness of the work environment, job satisfaction, opportunities for professional development and career progression, workplace flexibility, incentives, transparency, etc.  

Employee feedback obtained through an anonymous survey conducted by Great Place to Work ®, indicated that employees highly value the safe, supportive and flexible work environment of the Ceylon Chamber, ‘which promotes work-life balance of employees’, and ‘provides employees with a flexible work environment, allowing them freedom regarding time and attendance. Their focus is on completing tasks within designated time frames, rather than imposing strict restrictions’, were sentiments that were echoed by many employees’.

Employees also value empowerment and growth opportunities, ‘the company has a culture of empowering its employees…’,  and ‘many career opportunities are available for young employees and for their growth’; are among the comments received in this vein.

Great Place to Work®, headquartered in the USA, is the global authority on high-trust, high-performance workplace cultures. Through proprietary assessment tools, advisory services, and certification programs, including Best Workplaces lists and workplace reviews, Great Place to Work provides the benchmarks, framework, and expertise needed to create, sustain, and recognize outstanding workplace cultures.  

‘Being officially recognised as a great workplace based on employee feedback is a testament to the value we place on inculcating a supportive environment that facilitates high standards of work, personal development and employee satisfaction, which is perhaps one of the most defining aspects of the Ceylon Chamber’s work ethos’, Buwanekabahu Perera, Secretary General and CEO of the Ceylon Chamber stated.  

"We applaud the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce for seeking employees' feedback and the opportunity to certify itself," said Kshanika Ratnayake, CEO of Great Place to Work® in Sri Lanka. "These ratings measure its capacity to earn its own employees' trust and create a great workplace - critical metrics that anyone considering working for or doing business with the Ceylon Chamber should take into account as an indicator of high performance."
