Great Place To Work™ Greater China Celebrates the Best Workplaces™ in Hong Kong 2026

Inspiration — a core element of high‑trust leadership that nurtures culture, builds trust, and empowers shared purpose.

HONG KONG, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 9th, Great Place To Work™ proudly hosted the Best Workplaces™ in Hong Kong 2026 awards ceremony today at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Causeway Bay, honouring organisations that demonstrate outstanding culture and practices in trust‑building, leadership effectiveness, and employee well‑being. This recognition is based on rigorous employee feedback and an in‑depth evaluation of organizational practices that promote fairness, credibility, respect, and trust.

This year's theme, "Inspire and be Inspired" underscores the vital role of motivation, empowerment, and shared purpose across industries. At its core, inspiration is a high‑trust leadership behavior—one that encourages leaders to spark ideas, elevate voices, and create the conditions for people to do their best work. Inspiration fuels innovation, strengthens collaboration, and empowers individuals to grow with confidence and purpose. By creating an environment where ideas are encouraged, achievements are celebrated, and every voice is valued, we nurture a cycle of inspiration that elevates not only our people but the entire organisation.

Organisations that prioritise inspiration cultivate open communication, encourage bold ideas, and empower individuals to take ownership of their growth — creating a deeper sense of belonging, camaraderie, and pride. By recognising contributions, fostering meaningful connections, and giving employees a clear understanding of how their work drives shared success, companies build a culture where motivation naturally thrives. When inspiration becomes part of everyday leadership, workplaces transform into communities where people feel valued, engaged, and energised by a collective sense of possibility, bringing their best selves to the organisation's future.

The event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel brought together leaders, employees, and community representatives to celebrate companies that have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to fostering environments where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered. This award is to honor and recognise organisations that demonstrate outstanding practices in trust‑building, leadership effectiveness, and employee well‑being. 

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS: 

"Inspiration is at the core of a thriving workplace, it's one of the most powerful forces in any workplace. When people feel inspired, they bring fresh ideas, confidence, and purpose to their work — and that energy inspires others in return. Our role as leaders is to nurture an environment where every individual feels valued, supported, and encouraged to grow. When inspiration becomes part of everyday culture, people bring their best selves to the organisation and help shape a future we can all be proud of." — said Mr. Jose Bezanilla, CEO, Great Place To Work™ Greater China, during a very inspiring speech.

Awards Ceremony:  

This year, 20 companies were honoured on the list, achieving an impressive average score of 90.11 percent. Being included among these distinguished organisations highlights our dedication to cultivating a culture of respect, empowerment, and collaboration, and reinforces our position as a leading workplace where ALL employees are supported, celebrated, and given every opportunity to thrive and succeed.
