FAST-FOOD giant Jollibee Foods Corp. and conglomerates Ayala Corp. and Aboitiz Equity Ventures landed on Forbes magazine’s 2021 list of the world’s “best employers.”

Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey 150,000 full-time and part-time workers from 58 countries working for multinational companies and institutions.

In an Oct. 12 publication, Forbes said that survey participants had rated their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family and also evaluated other employers in their respective industries that stood out positively or negatively.

Jollibee, Ayala and AEV were among the 750 companies that received the highest scores.

Jollibee ranked 256th on this global list, while Ayala and AEV ranked 487th and 665th, respectively.

Overall, South Korean phone maker Samsung topped the list, followed by American tech firms IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet and Dell Technologies. (CSL)
