Autodesk Selected for "Best Employers Asia-Pacific 2026" Ranking

Autodesk, Inc. (Headquarters: California, USA; President and CEO: Andrew Anagnost; hereinafter "Autodesk") has been selected for the "Best Employers Asia-Pacific 2026" ranking, jointly announced by the UK financial newspaper "Financial Times" and market research firm "Statista".

This ranking is based on an independent survey of over 50,000 employees across 16 countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific, including Japan. It is widely recognized as a highly reliable ranking that reflects the actual employee experience, as it is determined by employee evaluations of their workplaces and recommendations to other companies, rather than by company applications or self-declarations. Autodesk ranked 192nd among 500 companies surveyed.

This selection recognizes Autodesk's commitment to creating a work environment where each employee can demonstrate their abilities and continue to take on challenges, based on a corporate culture centered on "trust," "flexibility," and "growth."

A Work Environment Valued by Employees

"Best Employers Asia-Pacific" is an independent survey conducted jointly by the Financial Times and Statista. The evaluation reflects not only employee assessments of their own companies but also recommendations to peer companies, employing an objective evaluation method distinct from application-based awards.

Furthermore, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted across 56 items, including:

Satisfaction with the work environment

Support and leadership from managers

Work-life balance

Flexible working styles

Career development and growth opportunities, etc.

Through these multifaceted evaluations, 500 leading companies from 16 countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific, including Japan, were selected.

Continuous Commitment to a People-Centric Corporate Culture

The Asia-Pacific region, including Japan, is one of the fastest-growing markets globally and a highly competitive landscape for talent acquisition.

Autodesk considers creating an environment where each employee can confidently take on challenges and expand their potential in this region as one of its key management priorities. The company is globally advancing various people-centric initiatives, including flexible working styles, career development support, promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and fostering a corporate culture that emphasizes psychological safety.

This award signifies that these initiatives have been highly valued by the employees themselves and validates Autodesk's progress toward realizing its goal of "a workplace where everyone can thrive as themselves."

Initiatives at the Japanese Subsidiary

Autodesk K.K., the Japanese subsidiary of Autodesk, is also promoting the creation of a work environment in Japan where each employee can maximize their abilities.

In addition to fostering an inclusive corporate culture where individuals with diverse backgrounds and values can thrive with peace of mind, the company aims to achieve employee growth and well-being through flexible working styles and career development support.

Furthermore, it is working to create an environment where the human resources supporting the promotion of digital transformation can continue to take on challenges with confidence, alongside customers and partner companies in Japan's manufacturing, construction, and media & entertainment industries.

Tomoyuki Nakanishi, President of Autodesk K.K., commented as follows:

"We are deeply honored to be selected for the 'Financial Times & Statista Best Employers Asia-Pacific 2026.' This recognition is based on the candid feedback from over 50,000 employees working in the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan, and we are delighted that the daily experiences of each employee have been evaluated.

In Japan as well, we value creating an environment where each employee can take on challenges and grow with peace of mind.
