WorkVenture released its “Top 50 Companies in Thailand 2024” list at a recent gala dinner, with Google maintaining its position as the most desirable employer for the sixth year in a row. The survey, which included over 11,452 young professionals aged 22 to 35 with at least a bachelor’s degree from Bangkok and surrounding areas, provides a comprehensive look at the Thai labor market in 2024.
The survey results reveal a strong preference for large Thai companies among the workforce. These companies have successfully adapted to the changing workplace dynamics and the working culture of Thai people, making them preferred employers, often over their foreign counterparts.
The top ten companies on the list include Google, PTT, SCG, Agoda, Unilever, LINE, Toyota Motor, Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, Mitr Phol, and Bangchak. These companies are recognized for various reasons, such as substantial rewards, employee benefits tailored to younger generations, work-life balance, and opportunities for personal development.
The list also features other highly desired companies like Apple, BJC Big C, and Kasikornbank, among others. These companies are attractive to the younger generation for various reasons, including competitive salaries, excellent benefits, and opportunities for further education.
Apart from looking for more than just a good salary, most young professionals said they prioritize benefits that align with personal needs, opportunities for learning and development, inclusive culture, and sustainable environmental and social policies. (NNT)
