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 supportive, encouraging and appreciative work environment. Of particular note is the empowerment afforded to employees, where staff are given the opportunity to ‘be creative and take proactive action… leadership has trust in the work you carry out and give space to take leadership in the assigned work, regardless of the management level you are assigned to’.

Amidst the current economic challenges, the employees are also overwhelmingly appreciative of the flexible work schedules, commenting that the Chamber offers ‘flexible place and working time to work as long as you have done your days job’, focusing on the end output rather than the work process itself.

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 recognise outstanding workplace cultures.

“Being officially recognised as a great workplace based on employee feedback is 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,” Ceylon Chamber CEO and Secretary General Manjula de Silva said.

“We applaud the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce for seeking employees’ feedback and the opportunity to certify itself,” Great Place to Work in Sri Lanka CEO Kshanika Ratnayake said. “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.”
