Siyapatha Finance PLC Certified as a Great Place to Work for 2026/2027
Siyapatha Finance PLC has been officially certified by Great Place to Work® for 2026/2027, reinforcing its continued focus on building a high-trust, people-centric workplace culture.
The certification reflects the experiences and feedback of Siyapatha Finance employees, with 98% of employees affirming that the company is a great place to work. According to the company, this represents a 7-percentage-point improvement compared with 2022, highlighting continued progress in employee experience and workplace culture.
Employee Experience at the Centre
The recognition highlights Siyapatha Finance’s focus on creating a workplace where employees feel valued, supported and empowered to develop their potential.
Commenting on the achievement, Mathisha Hewavitharana, Chief Executive Officer of Siyapatha Finance PLC, described the certification as a significant milestone for the company and said it reflects the trust, team spirit and shared commitment within the organisation.
He further highlighted the company’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and empowering environment while providing employees with opportunities to grow and contribute to the organisation’s success.
According to Siyapatha Finance, employee experience forms an important part of its broader approach to sustainable growth and organisational excellence. The company continues to focus on initiatives related to employee engagement, professional development, recognition, collaboration and employee well-being.
Building a Culture Around People
Great Place to Work® Sri Lanka states that its certification is based on employee feedback collected through its Trust Index™ Survey, with organisations required to exceed the global benchmark of 70% positive employee sentiment to receive certification. Siyapatha Finance is among the organisations certified for the August 2026–August 2027 period.
The latest certification builds on Siyapatha Finance’s previous workplace recognition. The company’s official awards history records earlier recognition including Sri Lanka’s Best 50 Workplaces in 2022 and Best Workplaces for Millennials™ in Sri Lanka in 2022, alongside its previous Great Place to Work certification.
For an organisation operating in Sri Lanka’s financial services sector, the recognition also adds to its broader employer-branding journey. Siyapatha Finance currently operates an islandwide network and identifies its people and human capital as an important part of its organisational culture.
The Great Place to Work® Certification 2026/2027 therefore marks another milestone in Siyapatha Finance’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its employee experience and workplace culture.
