"The variety of entries in the 'Best Place To Work' category was very interesting and I loved their diversity – from startups to well-entrenched brands like DHL competing for the top honor," said Preethi Chamikutty, executive editor at YourStory.com (India). "It is nice to see companies taking such good care of their workforce. Companies that belonged to industries such as services and hospitality had a slight edge above others because of the nature of the business itself: service and hospitality industries have a great focus on customer satisfaction, and their customers can only be kept happy by happy employees."

"Under the category 'Executive of the Year' in Best in Biz Awards 2014 International, it was inspiring reading about the good work done by several CEO's and top executives," said Manjula Ramakrishnan, IAA Magazine (United Arab Emirates), who has judged several EMEA competitions in the past. "Their work was all the more laudable, for it was not just about the upward spiral of the company, or making the bottom line look good; it also included Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and involving the organization in meaningful community activities. In addition, it was amply evident that employee empowerment was of paramount importance, which again brought into honed focus the commendable business philosophy adopted by the leaders who are at the helm of company affairs."
