Marriott International Inc. continues to make strides in employer rankings, improving by 3 spots to rank 3rd in Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work for Southeast Asia 2026. The results recognize Marriott’s exceptional workplaces in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. The Fortune 100 list was produced in collaboration with Great Place to Work (GPTW), the global authority which recognizes strong workplace culture. The accolade is the latest in Marriott’s series of strong Great Place to Work and Fortune rankings in 2026.
In September 2026, Marriott climbed to the second spot in Best Place to Work in Asia for large companies by Great Place to Work following a combined Trust Index survey feedback from Marriott associates across 22 eligible markets in Asia, including 12 markets from Asia Pacific excluding China (APEC): Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Maldives, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
15 markets in which Marriott operates also achieved certification status in 2026, up from 10 in 2025. 9 markets entered the 2025/26 National List Rankings, while South Korea, Sri Lanka and India received a total of 7 Special Best Workplaces awards.
The strong momentum across Marriott’s Asia Pacific excluding China (APEC) region comes amid the countdown to Marriott International’s milestone 100th anniversary in May 2027.
“Our associates are the backbone of our company, and the latest recognition in Fortune’s 100’s Best Companies to Work For Southeast Asia 2026 list validates our efforts at making Marriott a great place to work. The momentum we’ve built is testament to our unwavering commitment to creating an inclusive, engaging, and supportive workplace where everyone can belong. We will continue to be guided in this mission as we look forward to our Centennial and beyond,” said Rajeev Menon, President of Marriott International Asia Pacific excluding China.
As part of the lead up to its Centennial year in May 2027, Marriott recently launched 10-part video series ‘100 Associates, 100 Reasons Why’. The series features personal stories of associates across APEC markets, roles and experiences, sharing their Marriott journeys.
