Employers’ Federation of Ceylon Launches Sri Lanka’s First-Ever ‘EFC National Best Employer Awards’, Celebrating Organisational Excellence and Human-Centred Leadership
xx September 2025 – At a time when Sri Lanka is rediscovering its strength and optimism, the Employers’ Federation of Ceylon (EFC) is proud to announce the launch of the inaugural EFC National Best Employer Awards 2025. This landmark initiative comes at a pivotal moment in the nation’s journey, as organisations and communities embrace resilience, innovation, and purpose.
The awards represent a national movement to honour organisations that redefine what it means to be truly great employers—entities that go beyond profit to create workplaces where people thrive, communities are uplifted, and values are lived with purpose. The programme will recognise those who champion holistic wellbeing while driving sustainable business practices and meaningful social impact.
As the first of its kind in Sri Lanka, the EFC National Best Employer Awards 2025 will establish a credible and aspirational benchmark for organisational excellence. It will spotlight organisations that lead with both heart and vision—fostering inclusive, ethical, and progressive workplaces that contribute to national development and societal wellbeing.
This initiative is powered by AIA Insurance as Platinum Partner. As one of Sri Lanka’s leading life insurers, AIA’s involvement reflects its mission to help people live healthier, longer, and better lives. Through this partnership, AIA reaffirms its commitment to holistic wellbeing by supporting healthier, happier workplaces and communities.
The programme is further strengthened by the support of:
- EY – Assurance Partner
- Wijeya Newspapers – Print Media Partner
- Galle Face Hotel – Hospitality Partner
- FCB KL.LK – Creative Partner
- MTV – Electronic Media Partner
Each partner plays a vital role in reinforcing EFC’s vision of excellence.
All legally registered organisations in Sri Lanka with at least three years of operations are invited to apply. This is a unique opportunity to gain national recognition, benchmark performance against industry leaders both locally and globally, and showcase organisational innovation and commitment.
