Great Place to Work presents the best places to work in Central America and the Caribbean

The global authority on work culture, Great Place to Work (GPTW), conducts a survey to the staff of different companies on the most important factors that generate excellent workplaces for all and analyzes the organizational work programs that affect more than two million employees in Latin America. The survey has the objective of knowing the organizations or companies that are the best to work for in Central America and the Caribbean.

The results of the survey that the institution conducted among the employees of the organizations included in this year's list were as follows:

  • 97 % said that they all have the opportunity to receive special recognition.
  • 95 % said that they are offered professional development and training.
  • 94% said they are encouraged to achieve a balance between their personal and professional lives.

Organizations or companies must have appeared in 2020 or early 2021 on one or more of the national lists of the best places to work in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Central America and the Caribbean, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic or Uruguay, which identifies them as outstanding in their region.

The list of the best places to work for multinational companies in Central America and the Caribbean is as follows:

On average, 87% of the employees of the organizations included in the list reported feeling wellbeing at work (defined by factors such as feeling cared for and believing that the organization is a psychologically and emotionally healthy place to work).

Organizations are classified into three sizes: small and medium (10 to 499 employees); large (more than 500) and multinational. Multinational organizations are also evaluated on their efforts to generate excellent workplaces in several countries in the region. They must appear on at least three national lists in Latin America and have at least 1,000 employees worldwide, of whom at least 40% (or 5,000) work in countries other than their headquarters.
 
The current COVID-19 crisis has changed daily life and business activities throughout Latin America, and prioritizing staff is a task that these workplaces never neglect.
