First Capital Holdings PLC is Great Place To Work Certified for the fourth consecutive year, achieving an outstanding 94 percent employee positivity rating to the Trust Index survey statement ‘I would say this is a great place to work’ and an average score of 90 percent across all survey statements.  

The certification is based entirely on direct and anonymous employee feedback collected through an independent assessment conducted by Great Place To Work Sri Lanka, the national affiliate of Great Place To Work, the global authority on high trust workplace culture and employee experience.

The Trust Index Employee Experience Survey is a standardised global tool through which the employees anonymously evaluate their workplace across dimensions such as trust, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie. 

The organisations that score above the required benchmark of 70 percent average positivity are eligible for certification for a period of one year, making the recognition a reflection of employee perceptions rather than external assessment. The group has also fostered meaningful cross-functional engagement beyond formal work structures, driven organically by the employees. These initiatives have contributed to collaboration across departments and strengthened internal networks, supporting a more connected workplace experience. Notably, the Trust IndexTM employee perception scores have shown consistent improvement over the past four years, indicating growing employee acceptance and engagement.

JXG (Janashakthi Group) Group Chief Human Resources Officer Wasanthi Stephen stated, “Our approach to people management is centred on listening, learning and acting. The insights we receive through the Great Place to Work survey help us benchmark ourselves and identify areas for improvement. This recognition reflects sustained effort across learning, well-being, rewards and inclusion, shaped by continuous employee feedback.”

First Capital Holdings Head of Human Resource Chamara Pussella said, “Being recognised as Great Place To Work Certified for the fourth consecutive year reflects the culture we continue to build intentionally. Our focus has been on creating an environment where people feel respected, included and empowered to grow. This recognition matters because it is grounded in the voice of our own employees.”
