Aon Hewitt announced its list of the Best Employers in Hong Kong 2015 in an Awards Ceremony & Learning Conference that took place at the Hong Kong Football Club. The conference covered key market insights, benchmarks and case studies, and a CEO panel that explored what this year’s Best Employers did better.
Companies were judged based on three main criteria: The organisation inspires strong commitment and superior performance from its people, it drives business results through effective people practices, and it manages its business in ways that build long-term success and sustainability
Only a few organisations made it to the 2015 list of Best Employers in Hong Kong:
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong - Best of the Best
American Express International - Best Employer Hong Kong 2015
Marriott International, Hong Kong - Best Employer Hong Kong 2015
McDonald's Restaurant (HK) Ltd - Best Employer Hong Kong 2015
American Express International - Best Employer Hong Kong for Women
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong - Best Employer Hong Kong for Generation Y
Marriott International, Hong Kong - Best Employer Hong Kong for Commitment and Engagement
Sushant Upadhyay, Managing Director of Aon Hewitt, Hong Kong & Taiwan commented, “Best Employers clearly achieve better business results compared to the market. We found that Best Employers in Hong Kong achieve significantly higher growth in their profits when compared to the market average.”
The most noticeable trends that emerged in this year’s awards showed that winners attain 37% higher growth in profit than participant average, have 20% lower attrition and filled 52% more openings internally than their market peers.
Additionally, the winners demonstrated considerably higher levels of employee engagement—with a score of 83%, compared to 57% market average—and had clearly defined employer branding practices.
